      <image:title>Home - About George</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a lawyer, lobbyist and former Vice President of Worldwide Government Affairs for Kellogg Company, George has an insider’s perspective on how Washington works and doesn’t. He spent years in the halls of Congress as a major player on behalf of the food industry where he developed the anecdotes and saw first hand the outrageous personalities parodied in his books. A Feeding Frenzy in Washington along with his other three books Raisin Bran and Other Cereal Wars, So You Think You Want to Run for Congress and Incentives mark him as a must read for anyone with a keen eye for politics today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Incentives</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Holy Water of Free Enterprise In his first work of fiction, George Franklin takes a humorous look at the world of economic development with politicians, corporations and a cast of rogue characters all wallowing in the government trough in the name of capitalism and free enterprise. Incentives is a book of pure unadulterated fun filled with laugh out loud moments. It is an uproarious, entertaining, comical story of the hypocrisy which permeates public policy today. Nothing is sacred and everybody and everything is fair game.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In my thirty-some years of lobbying for Kellogg Company in Washington, D.C., state capitols and around the world, I was repeatedly asked three questions: “How does someone become a lobbyist?,” “Why does Kellogg need a lobbyist?,” and, more generally, “What do lobbyists do?” It also became apparent how little business people know about government relations, an area of endeavor hardly mentioned, much less taught, in business school.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a lobbyist, an integral part of your job is giving away money, almost none of which is yours. You give it to people running for political office with the hope that when they are in office they will do things for you. You can’t just give it to them, however. Instead lobbyists partake in a mating process that entails a lot of sitting, standing, drinking and eating. You give your liver and your waistline for the cause.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Copy of Excerpts (Copy) - CHapter 5</image:title>
      <image:caption>The two issues which ensure continued employment for food lobbyists are the sugar program and advertising to children. Regardless of which side you are on, these two issues continue to be gifts that keep giving and have put a lot of lobbyists’ kids through college. They also have changed the definition of winning and losing. When it comes to advertising to children, not losing equates to winning for companies.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Fiction (Copy) - Incentives</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Holy Water of Free Enterprise George Franklin takes a humorous look at the world of economic development with politicians, corporations and a cast of rogue characters all wallowing in the government trough in the name of capitalism and free enterprise. Incentives is a book of pure unadulterated fun filled with laugh out loud moments. It is an uproarious, entertaining, comical story of the hypocrisy which permeates public policy today. If you like the genre of Carl Hiaasen or Christopher Buckley you will love Incentives! Nothing is sacred and everybody and everything is fair game.</image:caption>
