Senate Coverage -- (April '06)
THOMAS ^ | 4-03-06 | US CONGRESS

Posted on 04/03/2006 5:37:14 AM PDT by OXENinFLA

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.

Many Americans cross the northern border everyday

I am sure they do. I'm just saying that it is not my sense that he is suggesting anything like a national ID card.

I don't know what this is about. I was away for a bit. When I got back, I went almost into a trance over how incredibly ugly she is. At the last moment, she turned toward her assistant and I think she has a bald patch on the back of her head. I guess it sends the workers back home periodically.

I'd have to read the amendment

But it sounded like it would reward the legals and small business' for following the law

Why would we do that .. How about just FOLLOWING THE LAW ???

And listening to her talk about craps is not helping matters

That is exactly why they always say "we must be comprehensive." They should simply do a border security measure and then implement it. There would be pork, but the opportunity for it would be limited.

Sounds to me like it's an addition

Rats, I had to run errands and missed my favorites. They will be having vote though, I understand. I see Alexander has got one of his "feel good" amendments. We'll just have some programs and spend some money and they will all turn into model citizens.
