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 if it gets hot).

So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor you don't have to start a new thread, you can just use this one also if you have 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. (I'd like stress this on little thing about C-SPAN that I love, NO COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTIONS.)

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.

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 Majority and Minority

(I'd like to rant for a second. Prior to Senator Frist's office running the calendar any bills and amendments talked about would be linked on the calendar the next day. Now all you get is when the Senate will meet and the bill # without a link. I'd like to see it change back.)

Roll Call Votes can be found here.

Perfect Senate music(spinning plates?), too bad it's during a quorum call. They should play this circus music while debating. ;-)

Senate adjourned until 10AM Tuesday March 22.

Morning All ... I wonder how many Dem Senators will congratulate Spain for electing a Socialist?

[StriperSniper]

I saw most of him, he was rather subdued.

Maxine(Mad Max) Waters on WJ at 7:30AM EST.

I was thinking that if for some reason she isn't reelected, maybe PMSNBC could offer her, her own show, they could call it 'Conspiracies of Color'. ;-)

[OXENinFLA]

Thanks go it on.

Brit Hume's show last night covered this in detail.

[OXENinFLA]

"forced from his home?"

STATE DEPT. said HIS BAGS WERE PACKED

[OXENinFLA]

Kerry:"I Support The Second Amendment" (yeah, right)

[OXENinFLA]

Krauthamer last night on BH had a great line.

"If he (Artstied) didn't leave when he did, he would have been torn limb-from-limb."

[StriperSniper]

I liked Mort's line about "Everything is a conspiracy with Maxine Waters."

[OXENinFLA]

Do the calls sound one sided to you?

[StriperSniper]

Nobody to the right of Howard Dean wants to waste their time. ;-)

What I did notice is the racialism that they have all displayed. They only talk about blacks.
