Senate Coverage -- (May '06)
Thomas ^ | 5-01-06 | us congress

Posted on 05/01/2006 10:22:51 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.

He always does that. It's supposed to somehow reflect badly on the President.

Well .. he doesn't need to pile on

McCain, Graham and Spector did a fine job all by themselves today

I think I'm a tad tense at the moment *L*

Well..President Bush played right into Chrissy Matthew's hands tonight..

By admitting it was a mistake to say "Bring it on"..and "Wanted Dead or Alive"....Chrissy asks Norah O'Donnell if THAT is what has kept the terrorists fighting so long...of course she said YES. blech

O'Rielly doesn't like the Senate bill

Kept pointing out to Lindsey that we need stronger border and enforcement before we can do anything else

Lindsey kept saying he was all for that .. but that we have to take care of the 11 million people and we can't have them just floating around

IMO .. Lindsey doesn't get it and really needs to buy a clue

Him and McCain just lost the Senate their control come November

You are right about Graham not getting it..just like he didn't get it when the NSA phone number mining story came out...and he immediately accused them of listening to American's phone calls...

He may be book smart...but the man has NO common sense or ability to discern things quickly. He must have had to study LONG hours just to be able to understand his textbooks.

It's Carl "Lizard Eyes" Levin. Many "quotes" and "closed quotes."
