Small? Good number of Jewish people in the House.

Yes, let's by all means form a Jewish and a Muslim caucus. Then we can let a U.N. peace delegation moderate the hostility and terrorism in Congress! I know it's absurd but sometimes one has to use absurdity to illustrate a truth!

There are a large number of Jews in the Senate too - Lieberman, Coleman, Feingold, Feinstein, Boxer, Schumer, Levin,Kohl and Specter are ones that I am aware of - well above the 3% of the population that is Jewish.

It isn't in terms of skin tone. I seem to remember JC Watts was denied admission to the Congressional Black Caucus.
