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)
Durbin up outside doing a presser......
The dems are up to something.......
I think the dems are trying to work in the Libby story and the Iraq intel.
Yeah...they are pulling some CRAPOLA right now...because they are mad that Rove and Cheney aren't out...and mad that Alito is IN!!!
This is just so much BS!!!!
The darn SP found that there was NO LEAK...and all of the investigations have found that BUSH did not LIE...
WHY would they do this...when there is a dearth of speeches and articles by these same Senators and President Clinton alledging the SAME thing that Bush used to go to war????
Do these people have a political death wish???
Oh, gad...Rockefeller!!!!
I hope there's some repubs coming up next.
Conrad? Kent Conrad? Helmet Head? That Conrad?
The NYT, LAT, the WaPo and the Senate Intelligence Report all found Joe Wilson to be a compulsive liar.
Get the hip boots & shovels!!! The BS dam is going to burst!
Notice Rockefeller's use of the "Iron Curtain"...not accidental....
schumkie????
Wait until Mark Levin gets ahold of this press conference...
NOW they are saying that Reagan was wonderful???? BWAHHHHAAAAA!!!!
So IOW the Dims are trying to "shut down" the Senate?
Are you watching this presser by Durbin & Schummer?
Yes.
Do they want ANOTHER investigation??
Over sight hearing??
Something is up ... they are playing games
Rockefeller is there also ..
I caught the end of it ... what the heck are they up to now?
Well...isn't that special???
How can those guys stand up there and complain about Libby alledgedly lying (did they say "alledgedly, btw?)....
with a straight face...knowing that their hero Clinton was the master of lying to the American people???
They want to have all senator in session .. doors closed and cameras off to show all senator something
What the heck is going on?
