you know that Obamacare is going to make you not want to open another unit.
They need to hear that.
They might not want to hear it, but they need to hear it.
So, again, it's about a grassroots effort.
Franchise Congress can give you the tools that you need in terms of handouts, flyers, all those things.
It's clearly an effort that has to start at the local level and work its way up rather than high-powered lobbyists going in and trying to do things.
I think there's a bit of ignorance, similar to what you had, and that's why the importance of every September when IFA has their public affairs conference and we go up on the hill and actually try and educate at least the staffers of each of these folks about
on what franchising is.
And believe it or not, one of the things I think that's educating America on franchising is the TV show Undercover Boss.
It seems like every week there's another franchise company being highlighted on it.
I don't want to steal from Brad's thunder about the unconference, but there was a wonderful panel of people that have been on Undercover Boss that actually spoke about what it meant to their companies.
But, you know, I was a franchisee in a preschool system where, you know, you owned one unit.
They really didn't want you to own more than one unit.
So what you were is a mom-and-pop business that employed 25 or 30 local people and provided a service to the community that's greatly needed.
And I would bet that there aren't too many people on Capitol Hill that actually understand that.
And we just have to keep educating them.
You know, their faces change every two years in Congress for the most part.
So you've got to.
You can't just say you did it and you're done.
You have to keep going.
