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)
I count 16.
You Lads up yet?
We need some fire-power...
I have pinged the mods half a dozen times on several threads. Hit abuse, too.
No response, yet.
I think nobody is home.
He has done it more than 3 times.
He has to be stopped.
Third my foot. More like the 13th or 14th in the past two months.
I should have said "third time I have seen it", which is 3 xs too many.
This morning he/it somehow managed to hit many threads seemingly simultaneously. They were listed one after the other on my browse screen.
Seems the Mods may have finally had their coffee.
That stuff was just yanked off another thread.
That's the way we get it each time he hits.
If he goes according to pattern, we're done with him for today; he'll try again tomorrow.
hehe! Done. Thanks!
That was something else...
I have been out of touch. This been happening a lot recently?
Apparently some of our FRiends have been being bothered for months with this stuff in their FReep mail.
This is the first time I've seen it out on the forums.
(I am SO glad The Kid is at school and didn't see...)
Having read the comments, I am very glad that I missed it, whatever it was.
Roger that. How have you been?
I must have missed one
I'm up now.
