Not that's it even had a chance to get dusty since the anti-health insurance reform ad blitz, but here it comes, again:
An organization called Stop Too Big to Fail, which for some reason wants to be referred to by the acronym STBTF, will announce a $1.6 million TV ad campaign during a press conference call tomorrow.
While the organization has a name that appeals to the country's populist mood, its intentions are anything but populist. STBTF is "a project of Consumers 4 Competitive Choice," which is run by two men with "a history of fronting AstroTurf lobbying campaigns on behalf of some of the nation's largest companies."
Those two men, according to the Roll Call story linked in the Media Matters post, are Robert Johnson and Jim Conran, who have "led several lobbying campaigns where they have sided with companies that have given financial contributions to nonprofits affiliated with them." They won't say where the money for this effort is coming from, but you can bet they're the same puppeteers controlling Mitch McConnell.
