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)
I feel your pain....several times the thought "kill me now" has crossed my mind.
"I feel your pain...."
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! :) LOL
LOL....oh my, I am so embarrassed, I didn't realize until I saw your post, what I actually said...
SEE, SEE what these idiot Senators do to me????
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh!!
November is going to be ugly...
Quick! Wash out your brain! :)
Thanks....I was just on my way to the bathroom to pour shampoo in my ears....LOL
WTH is rambling about?
Inhofe up.
Specter just seemed to ramble about some Judge...
I heard Inhofe...now you know why he is never on the talk shows...or is well known...
He talks about the POSITIVE things about the war in Iraq...and praises the troops.
Well....this was a very uneventful, yet disappointing day for we Republican viewers, I would say.
Yep, sigh!
I have to admit that I didn't listen to every word that Specter said...but, I betcha HE didn't mention the Mary McCarthy leak...
I CANNOT believe that not ONE Republican Senator got up and and mentioned this today..
Can you imagine if she had been a Republican operative???
They would have been screaming "culture of corruption" over and over....blech
Oh if it were one of ours they would still be in session. Pathetic!

9:45 a.m.: Convene and begin a period of morning business.
Thereafter, proceed to a roll call vote on the nomination of Gray Miller to be a U.S. district judge for the southern district of Texas.
Thereafter, begin consideration of H.R. 4939, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act.
I wonder how annoyed the Senate will make us today?
LOL. My best guess would be "VERY".
Durbin is up and ripping the President's speech this morning
Yup, he's a a$$hat.
The President did not say that the price at the pump is the fault of the consumer.
This whole yapping about gas prices from the dems was planned
This happens EVERY season when gases have to be switched
Now Wyden is up
Could these Democrats be any more obvious??
I swear .. out side best get up and slam these *(#%((*#% Democrats
