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)
WHAT?
I am watching FNC.
I know you're watching c-span.
Yes, that was a veiled threat I think. Send the old crazy fool up to make it. I hate Democrats!
I've had enough of the Senate today, I'm going over to WLS

HEH? I don't have the nerve to watch the blowhards today.
Sounds like he did to me??
Oxen just asked if he was going to be doing weeks of this...what is "this"??
Boy oh boy.......
Wyden up now saying Bush bungled Katrina and Rita and is now "bungling" the price of gas???
OKAY---I will tell ya'll now...IF no Republican gets up today and either disputes this crap directly...or at least gives a speech talking about the GOOD NEWS....and believe it or not...there is GOOD NEWS out there...
Then it should tell all of us....that this 2 week vacation was NOT used to get their acts together...and STILL do NOT get how angry we are with their performances!
Well ... at least he warned us ahead of time that he plans on more of these lectures
I'll give them some time
But they best get up there and say something .. this crap is BS
I wonder if Wyden will admit what Rush just mentioned, re: the price of gas.
Rush just said of 15 refineries in the Gulf of Mexico...only 2 are up and working...after the damage done by Katrina... 13 are NOT!!!
Oh...but, I forgot...BUSH caused Katrina...so it IS Bush's fault...

Please don't hold your breath!
It just never ever stops!
I need to head out .. if our side ever speaks up .. could ya let me know??
It could happen, but I doubt you'll miss anything.
Lamar Alexander talking about immigration and Patrick Henry he ain't! Need I say more?
Yes....he is not likely to get the attention of the media at ALL...but, you better believe that ole Harry and Byrd will...sigh
Why don't they just shoot us all and be done with it?
Wimp number two is up! Senator McConnell for the lurkers.
