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)
Why do I think he just said something about the F-22 that he shouldn't have said?
*THUD*
LOL. He is just awful, but he is actually better than Dingy Harry.
Naaa .. I'd really hear Dingy ... at least there is some kind of emotion in his voice
Maybe something about lose lips sink ships?
I would love to go back in time and actually hear speeches from Congress back when our country was first starting
I'm sure they would be more interesting then these sos lectures we get today
There's some stuff here from the LOC
Oh, good!
I'm trying to figure all this out. My head hurts.
Thanks for the heads-up.

What did he say about the F-22...I had to step away.
Until we find out what the deal was...I can't say anything..but I just hate it when the White House deals...
BTW...I heard a sound bite on an ABC News break..with Sen. Rockefeller...
It seems that the Intelligence committee had a 3 hour meeting today..in order to be briefed on the classified part of the NSA program...
WELL..the soundbite of Rocky was of him griping about being "stonewalled"...and that they weren't briefed "enough" on the operational part of the program...
HMMMMMMMMMMM...it sounds like Rockefeller is going by the secret memo that instructs them to not be satisfied with anything Bush does...(it doesn't really say that...but, that was its intent, IMHO),,,
BUT.... I am very PROUD of our President for not being pressured into revealing all secrets to these idiots...
They are also having a classified meeting with Negroponte this afternoon...betcha they come out of that one complaining also.
He was talking about what speed it goes during combat.
What do you think Boxer is gesticulating about?
Because Rocky one of the 8 that WERE informed .. his words ring hallow
Thanks...
Thanks
I saw you had posted on the thread that I was pinged to regarding Harry Reid's further involvement with Abramoff...
Why is he still Minority Leader??? Don't you think that he should be made to step down like Tom Delay was???
Thune up making sense.
