Stop Too Big To Fail is a front group for the financial industry, working to block financial reform. In April, 2010, the group spent $1.6 million to advertise targeting Majority Leader Harry Reid, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), and Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) in ways to make it appear that liberals should oppose financial reform. Stop Too Big To Fail is run by another front group, Consumers for Competitive Choice.[1]
