CBC to take center stage in House during force authorization vote [View all]

Time to stand, assume a position of integrity, and be counted.

<<The Congressional Black Caucus, at times ignored by the Obama White House and rendered irrelevant in a GOP-controlled House, will play an outsized role as Congress decides whether to approve military strikes in Syria.

A sizable bloc of Republicans in the House are expected to vote against the resolution calling for intervention in Syria, arguing the military strikes either don’t serve U.S. national security interests or could lead to a broader conflict. That’s left Obama administration officials aggressively courting the House’s 200 Democrats, who are expected to provide many of the votes if a resolution authorizing military action is approved.>>

Can America count on the Representatives who are demanding the reform of election laws, so that all the votes be counted...or can the President count on the CBC?
