A couple years ago I got a robocall. It was a recording urging me to call my Congressman and ask them to cut funding to the USCB. Specifically that, the USCB. They did not use its name, only its acronym. They claimed that it was an agency responsible for harming small business in vague terms. After hanging up, I was curious so looked up what the USCB was. I'd never heard of it previously but after reading their website it was pretty clear to me that some company or companies was trying to drum up people opposing the agency based on sheer ignorance and misinformation. I should mention, I live in West Virginia where they might think that such a tactic would work. I get lots of political robocalls trying to convince me person X or Y is an enemy of coal or whatever (odd considering what a tiny number of people that industry actually employs... but it still holds most in the state in thrall) but that's the first I can think of that was trying to drum up support for something like this.
