Senate Coverage -- (October '05)
Thomas ^ | 10-04-05 | US Congress

Posted on 10/04/2005 6:36:49 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 Senate Majority and Senate Minority

And Monthly Calendars for the House Majority and Roll Call Votes can be found here.

Well, Tx, she just doesn't want those undocumented, brown skinned workers taking the jobs of LA residents. Dorgan had a picture of some of them in a bunk house. They were clearly Mexican. Said the conditions were filthy, etc. It sounded pretty racist overall.

NOW she is against illegals...betcha she wasn't so much before Katrina...

She was probably really freaking out about Wilma doing a lot of damage and taking tax dollars out of her hands.

What makes me even more sick is....last week when Coburn was trying to pass amendments redirecting some of the money from pork projects into the Katrina funding...SHE was all for that, and voted FOR Coburn's amendment...

I just wanted to puke...both she and Vitter voted for the one amendment that would have taken money from various states' projects for Katrina...although I felt bad for Coburn, I was sort of glad because of she and Vitter.

See ya tomorrow...same bat time, same bat place.

Thanks for the ping, OXEN. The Chaplain is now reading the prayer. That's one of the better bowties that I've seen, but they should still be banned.

LOL. It was pretty awful. He wants to get back into power on the backs of our dead soldiers. Does it get any worse than that?

Feingold is up giving a speech about not having an exit plan or a time table in getting out of Iraq

Says the President's lack of a time table is feeding the insurgency

Well, maybe in a backhanded kind of way in that, if a timetable for withdrawal is set, they will go quiet until we leave, and THEN all hell breaks loose. Not a very good idea, imho.
