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)
Now Durbin, same song. This is a disaster. Both amendments are votes for change, he says.
I just tuned in. Are the Pubs really supporting this?
Durbin up saying that the Senate will not be blind to the fact
Says we need new leadership and new direction
the Pubbies fell right into their trap
Warner is up now
This is just ridiculous.....
Yes, the Republicans are being had, big time!
I'm not sure who all on our side is
So far, I think we have Coburn. That's it from all I can tell.
These morons are going to get alot of people killed
The terrorists are just loving this
Harry Reid is up now
Why is Warner the ball carrier on this, he's a twit. Where is everyone?
If they approve either of these, and I think that they will, we will hear "We had to force this incompetent administration to change course in Iraq." I am sick about this.
That's what I would like to know
This just makes me sick....
