When I, when I named the caucus, the Conservative Climate Caucus, I can't tell you how many people who said, please don't do that. The word itself turns people off. This is what I knew that they didn't. If you don't use the word [climate], you have no credibility with people who do understand it. So there are a number of caucuses in Washington, D.C. and they try all sorts of ways to say it, the Teddy Roosevelt caucus and all these things try to imply the same thing, but don't use the word climate.
