It isn't an advocacy organization, it's a CMO. The CBC, despite it's origins, is Black members of the House looking out for each other on the Hill. <br /> <br /> The CBC doesn't have to open a door to get others to work with them, other members are going to act or not act in concert based on the usual criteria they have for getting things done on the Hill.

The CBC doesn’t have to open a door to get others to work with them, other members are going to act or not act in concert based on the usual criteria they have for getting things done on the Hill.

ICAM with it. It's on spot. And, I hope the CBC continues to show some spine. The new Chairwoman gives me a lot of hope. Thanks for this post. ICAM with it. It’s on spot.

If they had built a bridge to Steve Cohen, who's a white guy representing a district 70% African-American, instead of dissing him while still providing cover to Bill Jefferson, they would have never handed Tancredo ammunition to playa hate.
