The industry-funded lobbying group USANext [3] "says it plans to spend as much as $10 million on commercials and other tactics assailing AARP, the powerhouse lobby opposing [Social Security] private investment accounts [4]." To oversee the campaign, USANext hired Chris LaCivita [5], recently of the 527 group [6] Swift Boat Veterans for Truth [7]. USANext is also looking to other Swift Vets advisers, having hired Creative Response Concepts [8] and hoping to hire Rick Reed of the Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm firm. An unnamed USANext official said their pro-privatization campaign "would be so aggressive that the White House might not want to associate with it," especially because the group "is attacking the AARP."
