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)
So they'd have longer over the weekend to get some talking points together to make the VP look like a murderer.
Woman on FNC saying it wasn't clear when the president knew. Didn't Scott answer that question at least 5 times?
Because the press' need to know is more important then anything else
It's ALWAYS about them
Over here.
Here you go.
Yes, he did. Saturday night.
I noticed that. They probably should have called in sooner, but the man is going to be OK, so why is it such a big deal. As I recall we did not know immediately when President Bush choked on a pretzel. I am guessing they wanted to wait until the sheriff ruled it an accident.
I think you're right; they're out of control.
LOL .. and the media too!
The Humane Society has released a statement; they deplore the shooting of animals.

Yes
For a minute here, I thought I was on a thread about WH pressers!
It doesn't matter when he knew or if no one ever told him at all. This is not some kind of international incident, it is a hunting accident in which, thankfully, the person who was hit with the bird shot was not seriously injured and was promptly cared for precisely because he was the the VP of the United States.
Listening to this idiocy... you can only imagine how these liars construct their stories.
FNC still hyping it. All I can say is this is going to cost my husband a lot of $$ because I need shopping therapy after that display of madness.
Just once I'd like to hear somebody says "You knew when you needed to know."
Back to the shooting................they just can;t get over it.
"I think I'm going to a Belk sale on a major shopping trip."
I used to sell men's clothing at a Belk store here in VA. Good place to shop when needing therapy.
OMG!!
Was that Les Consolving?
WHY DIDN'T THE AP PICK IT UP!?!??!?!!
FNC is having a hunting demo. Idiots.
