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)
OH F*^%, NOT THE SAUCER!!!!
Can I have bourbon in my saucer? Please!
(:
Of which Robert Byrd and this speech are prime examples.
I had to put the TV on mute and closed captioning...I can't STAND his whiney voice..
I bet it took him half of his two week vaction to write that laundry list of all of the wrong things about the big, bad Republicans....waaaaaaaaa
BUT, then steps up BYRD to entertain us with his incoherent rambling...
I think we should call the Senate cloakroom...and tell them to tell the Senators to go back on vacation...their acts are getting tiresome.
WTH? is he talking about? "Just Do It" maybe or "Githerdone"? LOL I have to get a life.
"DO IT NOW"
WTF?
Does he mean "JUST DO IT"??
Do any of you have a clue about what Byrd is talking about???
Nope, I would submit, that he forgot to take his meds today.
He's going to be doing WEEKS of this?
oh boy.
Other than that he is very, very special and wonderful, no.
CUP SAUCER AND TEA COOLING
Again no Republicans as far as the eye can see.
Not expressly, but I think that was the point he was trying to make.
Now you've got my attention.
What???
