American Liberty League.

Explanation:

American Liberty League was established on 15 August 1934 by wealthy businessman and political leaders who were anti-Roosevelt democrats and conservatives. This American protest organization was formed to defeat Roosevelt and restrict the trade union movement. They claim to fight the socialism and dictatorship of Roosevelt's administration. However, the League eventually died with the re-election of Roosevelt for the second term.
