I do wish to say that the Chamber of Commerce has just sent out a letter. I thought I would make everybody aware they are urging people to vote for both amendments also. As a matter of fact, they are key voting this. This is one of those issues they think is very important. The Chamber of Commerce, as you know, represents all kinds of small businesses across this country that are very concerned about this expansive bill, especially as it relates to consumer protection. Again, I wish to say one more time, an activist, if it turned out to be--my guess is, it will be; everything else in this administration leads me to believe this is going to be a fairly activist organization, OK--can write rules after the fact--after the fact--declaring a practice abusive. I don't know how many people think that is good practice, to write a rule after the fact determining that it is abusive--again, a very vague benchmark.
