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)
Sen. Intell Memogate??
Yep...but they admitted that as the MINORITY...they can't for any length of time.
OKAY GUYS...this means war...and Sen. FRIST better get out his "big ones" now...otherwise, I say the Republicans get a NEW Majority Leader...
He cannot let this happen with consequences to these lying dems...they LIE, while accusing the Bush Administration of lying!
First is up now
well now...
Holy SHITE! Frist is PI**ED
First is saying the Dems highjacked the Senate for no reason
HE IS PISSED!!
Says it is a SLAP in his face
That this is a Stunt!
GOOD!
get em boys
Great description TOL!!!
But, what happens when the minority delivers a nuclear option....they SHOULD get blown out of existence.
Reid never told Frist he was going to do it!
He is HOT MAD!!
First says this has never happened before
Trent Lott is up .. he is ticked also
Reid came to the floor and petitioned for rule 21 to go in a secret session
Unfortunately....Frist isn't well versed in the procedure to get the dems to stop....
I just PRAY that somehow..once and for all, Reid and gang get SMACKED!!!!
I bet the DUmmies are claiming victory....
There is a thread about this...and a poster said that the DUMmies are saying that Reid plans to do this every day, until they get their way!!
The DUmmies are saying Dingy Harry intends to do this every day until he gets his way.
Kyl is doing the right thing. Press the point how the DIMS stopped the peoples business!
I DOUBLE DARE THE DEMS TO DO THAT!
Can the R's just walk out and leave the dems in their little closed session? They don't have enough votes to do anything, do they?
DOUBLE DOG DARE!
