Christopher John said "I would like to give an overview who are the Blue Dog Democrats. Members might have heard several times about our group and how active we are, but we are a group of 33 individual Members of Congress from all over the country. We come from California. We have a Member from New York, a couple of Members from Georgia and Tennessee and Texas; but we come from all over the United States geographically. But what brings us together, what has brought us together and what has really gained us a lot of credibility in this body is our focus on fiscal responsibility. We meet every week and we talk about different issues, but we do not get involved in issues that split us apart, that we might not be able to get a consensus on. The Blue Dogs, when we are talking about an issue, when we take an issue, we go for it in a fiscal angle and a fiscal angle only, and that is the common thread amongst all of the Blue Dogs." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
