Staffers for corporate front group organizing anti-health rallies refuse to reveal their names.

Staffers for corporate front group organizing anti-health rallies refuse to reveal their names.

On Tuesday, right-wing billionaire David Koch’s Americans for Prosperity (AFP) organized yet another anti-health reform rally on Capitol Hill. Part of AFP’s strength is its secrecy. The organization, a front group for corporate interests, has set up multiple other front groups and tea party events to create a veneer of public support for its agenda. ThinkProgress attempted to interview AFP staffers who were coordinating the event, but they refused to even reveal their real names:

TP: What’s your name?

AFP STAFFER: Puddin Tain. … Puddin Tain. [...]

PROTESTER: What’s your name?

TP: My name’s Lee Fang.

PROTESTER: Lee Fang? Are you an American?

TP: Why do you ask?

PROTESTER: I’m just asking a question, just as you are.
