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)
MUTE button ---ON!
I saw that about Rummy---good for him...he is probably very well respected by the NASCAR crowd...
Did you see the thread about the interview with Pelosi, where she compares the Supreme Court to GOD?
I totally believe the Generals, but the Democrats will never admit that they are the ones that made 9-11 happen, I read the 9-11 Commission Report, they were far to kind to Clinton, but reading between the lines and reading the other books that the military guys have written, the blame is squarely on Bill Clinton. He made us weak and vulnerable and a target, no bunch of half-a-- terrorists punks would have dared to attack us on our own soil with our own planes, if Clinton had retaliated when they tried to blow up the World Trade Center the first time! IMHO
Climbing down off my soap box!

WHAT? You're pulling my leg! What do they put in the water out there anyway?
Carl put the mic on! If you are going to bloviate, do so into the mic!
I don't know, I wish I had the captions on! Either way!
Good rant---
I think that the problem is that both Clintons have been let off the hook all of their lives, so they don't feel the need to tell the truth, or live moral lives...they have never been punished for NOT behaving...
and when I read article after article that ASSUMES first that Hillary will be the dem nominee in 2008, and then that she will WIN...
I guess if that happens then I will know that my country has gone around the same bend as Canada...they just voted in same-sex marriage..they already have free and easy drug usage...and our country will be just like them if she wins...
[*Castro's Personal A$$wipe Senator]
subliminal meassages! LOL Remember SNL, back when it was actually funny?
Ya'll see what the dems are doing don't you---
They are worrying about what the world will think of us..appeasement...which is why we are where we are with the Islamofascists...
And, if we tell the countries that have nuclear programs that we aren't going to even try to get them, then what is to stop them?
What ticks me off is that they won't let us get those missle interceptors up and now they are upset about bunker busters, are these idiots French or what?
Exactly---they don't want us to defend ourselves here or over where the bombs originate...
I think though, that Canada has said that we can't put anything like Missle defense that would go over Canadian territory....
Like I said, we are gonna be Canada if the Clintons are elected again!!!
Sen. Kyl is going to restore order, he's so calm and rational! Very smart as well! He is smacking them pretty good!
Well I would submit that we should be able to shoot them in from Alaska and Maine. Canada can just go ahead and glow, when Russia fires on us! Plus what is Canada going to do to us? Send the mounties?
Hillary looks like a drowned rat!!!
Hildebeast! What did she do to her hair this time? This is rich!
She's a blonde Mao! LMAO!
Her cheeks and teeth look kinda chipmunky!!!
You owe me a keyboard!
OH NO PINKY!
The way Kerry uses his hands, he looks like he has been watching televangelists!!!
I also think he is just repeating what he has heard the others say...
He just said that he doesn't remember everything from nuclear warfare school? PUH---lleeeeeeeeeeze, he got low C's in regular college courses...they probably kicked him out of any kind of technical class...
Besides, we KNOW Kerry wants the US to ask permission to do anything...
Plus that would have been what 37 years ago, I would imagine that the tech has progressed despite the best efforts of the Democrats.
