35. Damn.

I didn't even note the name until I saw your post.

Maybe the point has been reached where front groups don't even have to get inventive with their naming, as they don't ever seem to get called out by the general public for absurd names that are designed to appear as though their agendas are basically the opposite of what they really are.

Actually, as I was typing, I realized that there is a further step down that path. An insurance front group could name itself, say, in the case of this battle, Coloradans for Universal Health Care. Instead of vaguely bulshitty, just going all the way.

Or... an ExxonMobil propaganda front group opposing progress toward addressing global warming calling itself 'Americans for Affordable Public Housing,' and, of course, having no interest in or position on public housing.

Yep, make way for 'Americans for Everybody,' 'The National Institute of Good Things,' and 'Citizens United Just Because.'
