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)
Kerry is picking up where Rocky left off.
Hey Kerry .. these terrorists ARE NOR AMERICAN CITIZENS
Roberts up giving it to them .. though he says he won't name names
DARN!
Warner is trying to point out how the behavior on the Intel Committee has changed, but he can't quite articulate it. Both he and Roberts are trying to keep to the high road...much to my dismay. The goal of all of the members used to be the protection of this country. This is no longer the case.
Bush AND the GOP Congresscritters take the high road TOO much anymore...
That old saying "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" unfortunately is TRUE, even in politics...sigh
Country comes first .. I say rip into those jerks!
Does Carl Levin know how ridiculous the back of his head looks, I wonder. Still carping about the Bybee memo.
It is possible to take the high road and rip them at the same time .. they need to learn that
Kind of like that saying .. Bless your heart :0)
I think he trying to look like Ben Franklin with those glasses
They don't want Levin to have the memo because it outlines what interrogation techniques we consider legal and they don't want al-Qaeda to have it, which they will if Levin gets hold of it.
Yep .. and the Dems know it
Kennedy now giving a list of what is prohibited to be used against terrorists
Kennedy wants to make the terrorists act nice by threatening to charge them with war crimes.
Hey Kennedy ... they have used those techniques and worse against US soldiers and personnel and there has been NOT A DAMN COMMENT FROM ANY OF YOU JERKS ABOUT THOSE WAR CRIMES!!
Oh gee .. now he's saying they are putting them on notice
Billary is up.
Clinton is up now
It's times like this that I'm glad the kids are at school and I don't have to watch what I say around the house
OMG .. she's bringing up Washington's Crossing
Why is she going on about torture. Nobody is being tortured.
