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's been there over 30 years. So has Dodd. Then there's Kennedy. There is something terribly wrong in this country. These guys are like the House of Lords. Well, Sessions is up so we will hear some truth.

I knew he reminded me of someone. Paul Harvey it is. Also slightly off topic, I am watching the reason that I am not and have not been for some time, a democrat. To get their way, the party has to lie, distort and ignore reality.

When I first registered .. I picked Dem because that's what party my mother was

Though when the time came to vote .. she strongly hinted that I should vote for Reagan

I eventually switched parties and can honestly say .. I've never voted for a Dem :0)

Graham: "These trial impede the war effort." Well, duh, Lindsey, that is the point.

I listened to some of the debate while bathing the baby...but, it is just the same old stuff....and I can't believe that Specter and the dems really think OUR troops would be treated BETTER no matter WHAT we do here.

Therefore, they are doing it because of BDS....which should be a criminal offense...IMHO>

I read yesterday that HIS GUT told him to run again in 2008....so I guess this is his first campaign speech since THAT recent decision...

But, ironically it is about how it is unfair to use election year politics to influence the Senate's actions....which, by giving this speech, MAKES IT AN ELECTION YEAR POLITICAL SPEECH!!!

WHAT A F'N DORK
