If it was fiercely then urgent, it certainly is now. 50 years ago there were only five africanamerican members of the house of representatives. There was no congressional black cauc caucus. Today there are 43 members. We want more but there are 43. Theyre led by congresswoman marsha fudge who you heard from and they are the conscience of the congress. In that blauk caucus we have the privilege of serving with john lewis, some of us for over 25 years in the congress, and arent we proud of that.

Jamaica. And by the time Superstorm Sandy hit new jersey and new york on october 29th, its effects were devastating for the region, making it the second costliest hurricane in the nations history. But what was worse than the actual devastation caused by sandy was the fallout that had nothing to do with the storm and everything to do with politics.
