This is very interesting. I was not aware that the House of Representatives had such a caucus. So now I'm curious: what does the caucus *do*? What has it *done* since 1995? And what does it plan to do now that it seems to represent a majority in the House? Further coverage from RE Access on this topic would be much appreciated!
