“It shows two angelic children sitting on the hood of a sport utility vehicle. Strapped to the top of that vehicle looks to be a canoe, a boat of some type. Now we see a gentleman, perhaps the father of these two children, leaning on the hood. He is saying to them, ``You know, we work hard all year as a family so our family can go fishing and camping together. We couldn't do it without our sport utility vehicle.'' Then the tag line is: ``Say yes to consumer choice. Say no to a CAFE increase.'' I was explaining before my colleague's thoughtful question, the implication is that those who advocate simply taking a look at the standards, simply allowing those within the Department of Transportation to take a look at the standards--and I will comment later in my remarks as to the criteria involved--that somehow we are opposed to this family's right to camp and to go fishing. That is outrageous. It is not true. This Senator is greatly offended by the text of that ad.”
