Female veterans want new caucus and clout in US politics

Why is the House of Representatives creating another swamp monster?
Do you realize that these types of organizations are just another form of lobbying group that directly siphons money directly from the government coffers for their financial support? These organizations have gotten out of control along with the members of congress that are members of these entities.

"The number of identified informal Member organizations since the 92nd Congress (1971-1972) is provided in Table 1 (pages 4-5 of linked file), which shows how an increase began in the 1970s and has increased more markedly since the 1990s. The Committee on House Administration lists 518 registered CMOs for the 115th Congress, which includes House-only organizations and some bicameral organizations. It is more challenging to tally the number of informal Member groups because they are not officially tracked by the House or Senate. Self-reported information from House Members’ offices in the Congressional Yellow Book identifies an additional 158 groups, some of which may be House-only and some of which may be bicameral groups. Self-reported information from Senators’ offices in the Congressional Yellow Book identifies 178 groups, some of which may be Senate-only and some of which may be bicameral groups." https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R40683.pdf
