Eleven of the fifty four are from California. THAT's depressing!

I noticed a few missing from they list you posted- a couple of notables- Jesse Jackson Jr IL and Cynthia McKinney GA.

I've compiled my own list, which I got from a couple different sources. I checked out all these Congressmen's Gov't Web Sites. Most of them do not list membership in the Progressive Caucus on their official gov't site, which I find odd and down right deceptive. A small percentage do though and Jesse Jackson Jr goes so far as to have a link to the Dem Socialists of America website. I listed a couple who were either deceased or retired just for general info purposes.

I apologize for the length of the list- an HTML whiz I aint but I found it easier (for me at least) to read it that way. If your congress critter isn't on here, you can pat yourself on the back. If anybody knows one that needs to be on here or if I listed someone that is no longer in office- please let me know.

Well, at least one of them won't cause any problem, she's dead. Still running for congress, but nonetheless dead.
