Florida Strong, an independent advocacy organization, has produced a new web that calls the  Legislature a bastion for special interests to get their way in Tallahassee.

Called “Agenda,” the ad begins with the statement that “Lobbyists control Florida’s agenda” followed by one that reads: “The Decisions made will impact you.”

The ad says more than $28 million in “special interests” have flooded the Capitol and specifically calls out anti-environmental interests, the pharmaceutical industry and for-profit charter schools as the culprits.

Florida Strong says it will be running the ad on news sites across the state. It also says it will  be noting specific legislators who have taken that “special interest money.”

Here’s the ad:
