We have turned sadly into a regulation Nation, and it is wrong, but some of us--and the ones here tonight speaking--are not going to sit by and allow this and stand idly by. We are fighting against it, and that is why we are here. I totally agree with my colleague that it is wrong to just tell people: well, this is going to be hard, but you are going to have to pay more on your electric bill basically because of this new regulation because we care more for a minnow than we do about people. That is wrong. It is time to change things. I appreciate my friend from Ohio, Representative Robert Latta, being here tonight and welcome your comments on this issue.
