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)
Billary doesn't like the bill. I am sure all of the good treatment of those guys at Gitmo is converting them to our side then.
Why doesn't Kennedy demand that we give the terrorists our war plans as well....that way they would have time to get the women and children out of the line of fire..
OH>..that's right....they LIKE for their women and children to be in the line of fire...
Byrd up....take your NODOZ!!
I need a shower
I hope his time is almost up.
Warner up now....and HE is about as bad a Byrd in talking S L O W....zzzzzzzzzzz
Hey...TOL...are you okay? Are you in lockdown?
Watching Fox with police looking for suspect that shot 2 deputies in Lakeland...don't know how far that is from Tampa though.
btw...Warner talking about Byrd's "sunset" amendment....I would vote for a sunset amendment that says, "if a Dem some how miraculously wins the POTUS in 2008, this bill sunsets"....LOL
OOOPSY...I forgot to add the caveat that MY amendment would also cover if MCCAIN or GRAHAM EVER get elected at POTUS or VPOTUS...
Good grief, Byrd can't even write anymore, but he insists on running for yet another term. I suspect he wants to die right there on the Senate floor.
I'm ok. Lakeland is SE of me. About 30 mins (more or less) from me.
Wonder if he can he read??
btt
I am glad you are okay...BUT, if that guy carjacks someone..he could head your way.
I am being an alarmist...I know...but you just never know.
Look at what happened at the Bailey School yestedaay...so sad.
poor bobby ,, he feels insulted by Warner
Boy...if he feels insulted by WARNER....he is in bad shape.
Warner is one of the wussiest Reps in the Senate.
I'm watching the news closely.
Byrd says he's almost speechless. Too bad it's only almost.
Levin up to save Bryd's rear end
This is a silly amendment. All they want is to get back in and meddle if the president 5 years from now is a Republican.
Okay...we have heard Kerry get up and give his campaign speech...and Hildabeast.
Why doesn't Allen or Santorum get up and talk about this bill...in the RIGHT way...and SHOW what a Senator that CARES about the national security sounds like??
