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)
Make that Cameron. Saw it via a camera;)
My gosh, they are frantic.
I had Rush on and he said the press was going ballistic so I turned this on.
"Is it appropriate for the VP to offer his resignation?"
OH
MY
GOD
OMG .. has the VP taking hunting safety courses in Texas ??
These are the EXACT same questions I read on the Daily Kos last night
Who asked that?
May I watch? I'll bail you out.
Now that's funny.
"Is there any notion here to review your own communications apparatus. This is reminiscent of the weapons story".
Holy crap
It was shouted out by some woman who was not on camera.
I don't know who it was.
You noticed that too huh??
These are the exact questions I read on the Daily Kos last night
OMG .. Peter ???? is comparing this to the Levees breaking in NO
They are upset because THEY DIDN"T KNOW.......
They think they should know everything IMMEDIATELY.
I can't believe they are trying to turn this into a bad intelligence re WMD analogy.
These people are truly evil, aren't they?
And they're comparing it to the levee story. Did they know it sooner than they're saying? Is this not the most ridiculous display ever?
"Is this a criminal offense".
These people are sick. Just sick.
I thought they said this was reminescent of the weapons story. Did they say levee?
I guess they would: they're acting worse than those reporters down there.
They're really upset that they didn't have a camera there. That would have forced his resignation, impeached Bush, ended the war, and made Social Security solvent.
Connie: Wouldn't this be much more serious if the man had died? LOLOLOL. Well sure.
