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 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 Majority and Minority
Roll Call Votes can be found here.

It was 'spooky'.
It was like he never mentioned Bush's 5-1-03 speech before.
To: Mo1
Oh, that's right. I forgot that little tidbit.
Did you notice he said he enlisted because of love of country.
Ha!

NOTE: He didn't mention he was in the "Young REPUBLCAINS" in his youth.(not sure if that was when he was at Yale of not.)
To: Howlin
Yes there will be some Jews that will .. just like there will be catholics
They have been trained to believe that Republican are evil doers that want to throw granny down the stairs and make her eat dog food

KERRY is toast, listen to these people get excited about THE BUS DRIVING UP.
To: Mo1
Chanting "WE WANT BUSH"
Well I guess there's no ...........uh never mind.
To: Howlin
why is he now emphasing it, especially with all the questions about it? Because it's all he has left .. and if you didn't serve then you don't have a right to say anything .. he did this in his '96 Senate election
BTW .. did you see John O'Neill and 19 of 23 service guys that served with Kerry are signing a letter tomorrow??
