The Lavender Chicken Caucus
These are the Democrats in Congress who, when faced with the possibility of harsh words from Republicans, give away the rights of the American people.

Does not include the House Blue Dog Caucus. Clinton and Obama were both absent for the vote on FISA as it was scheduled for a day, February 12, that had two primaries and two caucuses.

I happen to enjoy Lavender in many a dish, including Chicken.
You’re giving the sublime Lavender a bad name when you lump it in with this crowd of cowards.
I plant a lot of lavender because it is also a fleabane, and it helps with closets down here that tend to get musty.
Barbara Lee continues to represent me with great distinction.
