Lawyer lobbyists and political activists, representing big business as well as left-leaning and right-leaning activist groups, setup what sound like grassroots organizations ‘for the people’ when, in fact, too often they may actually be phony fronts posing as representing ‘the people’ in order to convince voters to vote a certain way or think a certain way about particular political, social, economic and environmental issues.
These phony grassroots organizations may actually represent those who want to take away the rights and freedoms of the people they are actually purporting to protect, all in the name of certain ‘for profit’ corporations and/or political activist groups that are actually covertly funding the phony, ‘for the people’ grassroots organizations.
