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)
Don't know..
ugh....Reid up
Harry's trying to prove that he's really NOT trying to delay and obstruct legislation. It's all Frist's fault for bringing up the asbestos bill first.
Exactly, Harry said "we were not ready for it to be brought up".
Are you watching the White House press thing?
They're all over Scott about why the White House didn't announce the shooting.
It's awful.
Rush says Scotty should have gone to the press conference with a shotgun. LOL.
I'm constantly amazed at the "angle" they pick to come at the White House with. "You didn't know the VP was invovled?"
They're all twisted because the lady who owns the land called the press and the WH didn't hold a press conference.
OUR SIDE HAS CHARTS .. LOL!
The WH presser is on now...
ALL about the shooting....
This is absolutely ridiculous. What possible difference can this make to anything. Someone keeps saying "the VP was the shooter."
He needs shock therapy.
"How dare the VP shoot somebody without checking with the press."
LOL!!
This is so ridiculous. WHO CARES? If Kerry shot someone he would get a medal. Scottie is not handling this one very well.
"When did the presdient know that the vice president had shot somebody?"
*Rolling my eyes*
I have to go to the other room to watch .. Hubby is home today watching NASCAR on MY tv .... grrrr
I hate the press. Now it's President Bush's fault that the press didn't find out? SIGH!
They'd better have a doctor on hand because someone in the press is going to have a heart attack.
This is nuts!
David Gregory is going to stroke out.
