I've done them all and seen the results. The 2000 presidential and congressional elections are absolutely critical to our industry. It is possible, based on the outcome of the presidential election, that unfriendly agency heads may control the Department of Agriculture, Department of Labor, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, National Labor Relations Board, Immigration and Naturalization Service and other important agencies for at least four more years. Also, if we do not help those who have supported us in the Congress, we'll lose those who can help us with our legislative agenda. It's that simple.
Every election is important.
This one is critical. At present, the industry appears to be in robust good health. Let me consult my crystal ball . . . We do know that economic fundamentals, such as consumer confidence, income growth, housing sales and so forth drive our business. Lifestyle trends and demographics affect sales as well.
