We should be supporting these dems
Even if you don't agree with them all of the time, these are the dems in the House who are our best hope. They're standing up now about FISA, and for that alone, they deserve our support.

2. I didn't realize Senators could join
Or is Bernie just a "grandfather" case?

8. Bernie founded the caucus, so I'd guess he can stay as long as he wants
Otherwise, I'd expect to see more Senators as members.

3. I get sick of my guys sometimes
Being a Vermonter is hard sometimes.
I get sick of my guys always being on the correct side of almost (almost) every issue.
Sometimes I wish they'd give me something to be mad about.
I mean, how many times can I call Bernie, Pat and Peters office to tell them how proud I am
to have them representing me.
Its enough to make one sick.
