Alamo protestors decry U.N.'s 'creeping influence'

Fearing the United Nations could exert greater influence over the Alamo, now that it's been designated a World Heritage site, a small group of protestors gathered in Alamo Plaza Saturday to voice their concerns.

Between two and three dozen people were at the rally a hot Saturday afternoon, organized by David Watts, who is running for the Texas House of Representatives.

Watts said it's not so much that he worries the U.N. will take over the Alamo. Rather, he described it as "sort of a creeping influence."
