SENATE COVERAGE -- (July '04)
http://www.senate.gov/ ^ | 7-06-04 | US SENATE and others

Posted on 07/06/2004 4:03:50 AM PDT by OXENinFLA

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 Majority and Minority

Roll Call Votes can be found here.

Yes. sigh

And what happens is that the Democrats get the major headlines.

Then, some time later, when the truth comes out and the administration was right all along, it barely gets the news.

Then I send leftist friends the article bolstering the Bush administration and they don't believe it because they've been brainwashed by the "Bush lied" mantra for so long.

The upside is that many aren't buying that anymore and are noticing they are being lied to

Sure there will always be that 30-35% that will always believe the Dems no matter what

But the fence sitters are waking up to the truth

It's funny watching the Democrats engage in doublespeak on issues such as gay marriage. It's about as funny as Barney Frank issuing a press release to California gays saying in essence, "stop the madness!!!"

The fence sitters I believe are on the side of morality.

My sister still believes even as recent as yesterday that the Iraq War was started on the notion of oil. She's not a Democrat, but she has been brainwashed by the Democrats. I even went so far as to explain to her that Halliburton is not simply just an "big oil company". After my attempts to shine the light of truth on her, she said I was crazy. Ah well, I tried.

If I recall .. they only supply parts and equipment .. they aren't an "oil" company

Am I wrong in that thinking?

It seems that they [the senate] got it's feathers in a ruffle after their meeting w/ HLS about the 'new' threat.

The dems now want to ram through funding for first responders.....(not that it shouldn't be passed but, this timing seems odd)
