The "Congressional Caucus on Turkey and Turkish Americans" (Turkey Caucus) was established by US Congressmen Robert Wexler (D-Florida), Ed Whitfield (R-Kentucky) and Kay Granger (R-Texas) in March 2001.
The Turkey Caucus is a bi-partisan platform for members of the Caucus to focus on US-Turkey relations and issues that concern Turkish Americans. Many of its members have joined this caucus due to the efforts of their Turkish American constituents and friends of Turkey.
The Congressional Caucus on US-Turkey Relations and Turkish Americans increased to 157 members in July, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words turkey, turkish and/or americans:
“A turkey is more occult and awful than all the angels and archangels. In so far as God has partly revealed to us an angelic world, he has partly told us what an angel means. But God has never told us what a turkey means. And if you go and stare at a live turkey for an hour or two, you will find by the end of it that the enigma has rather increased than diminished.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The French courage proceeds from vanity—the German from phlegm—the Turkish from fanaticism & opium—the Spanish from pride—the English from coolness—the Dutch from obstinacy—the Russian from insensibility—but the Italian from anger.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The Americans have many virtues, but they have not Faith and Hope. I know no two words whose meaning is more lost sight of.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
