Yes contact your elected officials and demand restraint of trade

and government interference in all franchise business transactions. Tell them that before an SBA loan of any kind is made it should past muster by a local SBA Franchise Loan Approval Board that will determine the risk factor of the proposed franchise venture. This local SBA Franchise Loan Approval Board will use the Z-Rube Franchise Measurement Scale which is a "secret" formula based on special calculus developed by a the famous Z-Rube. Z-Rube is a former failed UPS Store franchisee. Z-Rube developed this measurement scale with the help of Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale and Rube City Community College.

These local SBA Franchise Loan Approval Boards will be comprised of failed franchisees from across the land. The board members will be paid out of fund extorted from franchisors and the board member rate of pay in 2007 is $175K per year with a maximum per anum increase of 12% (minimum increase is 10%).

And of course the famous Z-Rube would run this division of the SBA!
