Protesters gathered outside the state Capitol in Nashville for a so-called "Nashville Tea Party" to rally against the $787 billion federal stimulus package.
The event was part of a nationwide set of rallies to protest the stimulus plan.
Some attendees wore tea bags, while one person dressed in Native American garb to resemble the original Boston protesters. There were some people supportive of parts of the plan. Brentwood resident Scott Douglas says he's for helping people who are unemployed like himself.
The latest calculations from state officials show the federal stimulus would make about $3.8 billion available to Tennessee.
