"The United States Consumer Coalition (USCC) is preparing to
launch a $3- 5 million campaign to fight the Obama
administration's "Operation Choke Point," a joint
Justice Department, FDIC, and Treasury initiative that targets
third-party payment processors who are considered "high-risk
merchants," including payday lenders."

"The coalition's campaign will include more than $1
million in paid advertising, as well as grassroots mobilization and
lobbying, and is being funded through donations from corporate and
individual donors concerned about consumer choice and
freedom."

"National ads will target Attorney General Eric Holder and the
13 Democrats who signed a letter in support of the operation, said
a source familiar with the ad buy. According to the USCC, those
targeted by "Operation Choke Point" include firearms and
ammo dealers, home-based charities, porn stars and payday
lenders."
