    Yes. Caucus is aimed at educating members of Congress and then reinforcing and building on those relationships. Hundreds of groups vie for Congress’ time and attention and the amount of information shared with them is enormous. Every bit of contact – face-to-face, email, in-store visits, letters and calls and ARAPAC contributions – are valuable points of contact for members and our issues.
