text: how many african americans are there in congress? what are their party affiliations? dems kicked that booty. america has spoken. the republican regime (dubai ports deal, katrina fema disaster, presciption drug benefit to pharm. giants, 1.6 billion tax cut for big oil, enron, abramoff, foley lil boy scandel, steroids in baseball, ..oh..and the iraq 400 billion dollar debacle) has finally ended. now america can begin to get back on track. sen. barack obama (dem.-il), rep. jesse jackson, jr. (dem.-il), rep. bobby rush (dem.-il) are the first that come to mind.  i'm not sure if there are any other african-american senators, but i'm sure that there are a number of other representatives.  check wikipedia - they may have a list.
