Senate Coverage (MARCH - 04)

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.

DU getting very upset with Lieberman, LOL maybe it not so bad hearing him this morning.

[OXENinFLA]

Harkin up now talking about HAITI.

[Mo1]

Harkin is up now talking about Haiti

[OXENinFLA]

Stereo

[StriperSniper]

For what? Not putting party before country?

These loathsome leftists should be purged from this country to live in exile in whatever Marxist paradise they wish. They don't like freedom, GTFO!

[Mo1]

Harkin is saying that there were rumors that Arestid was forced out by gun point

But then turns around and says the rumor isn't true

[Mo1]

Good Grief ... Harkin can flip flop on words about as good as Kerry does

[OXENinFLA]

Now he's turning this over to G HW Bush?

I'm betting the name 'Clinton' is not mentioned in a negative way..

[Mo1]

Now he's saying that we the US invaded and abetted and is calling for an investigation and wondering how they got these arms

Oh good grief .. they are trying to do another Ollie North

[StriperSniper]

video of Yesterday's Haiti meeting w/ Noriagia(sp),

It's on top of the latest video section now. I tried it to see the beginning when they were setting up the rules, but it was breaking up too much. It is probably the 'hot' stream this morning.

Here we go with Harkin making Haiti accusations. "I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what I hear."

Well Sen. Harkin, I hear you F*** male goats, I don't know if it's true, I think that should be investigated.

[Mo1]

[not-alone]

Harkin gets worse just when I think that is impossible. Why are the Florida papers this morning reporting Haitians are trying to return to Haiti now.

[Mo1]

Why are the Florida papers this morning reporting Haitians are trying to return to Haiti now.

I guess it's a little safer now since Arastid is gone

[OXENinFLA]

Just wait, I'm betting Harkin is going to say WE gave the Haitis the guns.

That was the best news. Instead of paddling here, they want to go home. I visited Haiti under Papa Doc and is was better off than with Arastid. At least they had tourist dollars. Do these idiots care about these people at all ?

[OXENinFLA]

I keep forgetting, who's the guy on the right?

[Mo1]

Do these idiots care about these people at all ?

No .. because if they did they wouldn't play political games with their lives ... and ours

[onyx]

I saw clips of that too .. Why do those Select Intell memo's keep popping in my head

They are out to cause throuble again .. and by doing so the put every american life in danger

I'll catch up to speed a little later this fine morning. I am still MAD about yesterday's news. If one more Edwards article is posted, please do NOT ping me or Howlin. :)

[Mo1]

Oh I could be wrong but I think his name is Daniel Ortega

Oh and I think the other guy with Harkin is a guy names John Kerry

[Mo1]

Will do :0)
