Since "Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.", I and others think it's a good idea to centralize what the goes on in the Senate (or House).
So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor and you don't want to start a new thread to ask if anyone else just heard what you heard, you can leave a short note on who said what and about what and I'll try and find it the next day in THE RECORD. Or if you see a thread that pertains to the Senate, House, or pretty much any GOV'T agency please link your thread here.
If you have any suggestions for this thread please feel free to let me know.
Here's a few helpful links.
C-SPAN what a great thing. Where you can watch or listen live to most Government happenings.
C-SPAN 1 carries the HOUSE.
C-SPAN 2 carries the SENATE.
C-SPAN 3 (most places web only) carries a variety of committee meetings live or other past programming.
OR FEDNET has online feed also.
A great thing about our Government is they make it really easy for the public to research what the Politicians are doing and saying (on the floor anyway).
THOMAS where you can see a RECORD of what Congress is doing each day. You can also search/read a verbatim text of what each Congressmen/women or Senator has said on the floor or submitted 'for the record.' [This is where the real juicy stuff can be found.]
Also found at Thomas are Monthly Calendars for the Senate Majority and Senate Minority
And Monthly Calendars for the House Majority and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
My thought exactly. They could not be more transparent.
Gosh...it is really scary.
I heard that 10 have died...that is too bad.
I am glad you are on high ground though.
Speaking of Harkin...he is just ghoulish when talking about this stem cell business...
He was talking about the "unused" embryos from in-vitro fertilization...and how they are just going to be "flushed" anyway.
Harkin wants that building at the CDC named after him REALLY bad.

I don't know....I am a woman, so I think I can get away with this..
When I picture in my mind..this Gang of Harpies, I picture the gang on The VIEW (which I have never, ever watched)...
And how they gossip and say dumb stuff (I have heard on Laura Ingraham's show)...
AND, that image...is the WRONG image, IMHO, to make Americans want to vote for a woman.
I feel that the image Condi presents...the woman that doesn't feel the need to have a "gang"...can think and speak for herself....and doesn't even NEED a husband to have a complete life, and a successful life.
I know that runs counter to "Christian" opinions...but, my husband and I were talking about the pros/cons of having a woman as a boss the other day...
I HATED every woman boss I had...very petty, childish. My husband says the same in his experience.
BUT, I told him in Condi's case, since she has never been married and been "subservient" in the Christian way to a man...she wouldn't feel the need to "lord" it over women, to make up for feeling "less" than the man in her life.
All of her jobs have been ones of authority, and I don't believe I have heard of anyone in the USA in a "subservient" way..
But, when we think of Hillary, don't we also (besides the beeatch part) think of her as "Bill's wife", "The First Lady", the "Governor's wife"???
I just can't see her getting the type of respect necessary for the POTUS/CIC..regardless of her nasty personality and socialist ideas.
Am I making any sense?? I mean, my gosh---she had to gather the rest of the women in the Senate, in order to put out this "magic list" of how to fix the USA...
Me too
Alot of the roads are closed .. but they are all down near the river .. which isn't too far from me .. more near my inlaws house
They've been building a lot of new homes down there .. but there ain't a chance I'd pay $600,000 for a house along the river ..
Plus there is the fact I can't afford it *L*
I've lived around here long enough to know better
I'm happy to say I have never watched THE VIEW either. I, too, have only heard bits of it on Laura Ingraham as was the case today. I can honestly say that I do not know any women as stupid as that bunch.
Hellary doesn't get that type of respect .. because she hasn't earned it or worked for it
And yes, every women boss (except one) I had .. I hated
They were nothing but arrogant, lazy, bossy, good for nothing "I am women, hear me roar" nags
And I don't think it had anything to do with being married
I think it had more to do with being raised spoiled little brats and they feel they should be entitled to respect because they say so
Condi isn't like that .. which explains why she's also not a Dem
I wish I could say that
Well let me put it another way .. many of the women I know are book smart .. but they don't have an ounce of common sense
marking spot
Says we should hold and treat the prisoners properly and respectfully ... and that we should hold the President accountable to the law
LOL....only DURBIN would think that having friends that would volunteer to be lawyers for terrorists is something to brag on INTERNATIONAL TV about!!
Landru up about not repealing a tax ... she says because we need the money for the troops
Oh .. She is talking about the Estate Tax
In her bill .. she thinks people who make over 100 million should pay the tax ???
I had to stop streaming the Senate...so I am not listening right now..
Yes, that is right..the Senate is supposed to tackle Estate Tax before they leave for 4th of July recess, I forgot.
Of course Landrieu would be for making anyone pay more taxes....she doesn't want the troops to use any money she can steal for Louisiana...LOL
Frist is up talking about Stem Cell research
Senate adjourned till July 10th at 2pm (est)
