I'll echo Mr. Vaillancourt's comments that the impact of this bill, as it is currently drafted, would be to send us back to the marketing techniques of the last generation. Arguably, you might think that the Rotary Club is a good thing and that we should be having more face-to-face meetings at Rotary Clubs, but that's just one of the devices. We'd be back to the junk mail that arrives in your mailbox, the use of paper, and the environmental and economic costs that attend to that--plus the reduced effectiveness of those marketing methods. We have a generation now that doesn't even use the telephone, much less read written material that arrives in the mailbox.
If you take away electronic means of communication, you're really taking away means of communication with the emerging generation.
