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.

I don't have a Senate ping list .. but I manage to do the thread

[Mo1]

ok .. maybe I made one mistake :0(

[defconw]

Well I found it. Now what? :)

[Mo1]

Wait for the lectures from the Dems???

Doesn't seem like much is going on at the moment .. so I guess that's good news :0)

[defconw]

LOL, I have not missed those idiots one bit. :)

[Mo1]

FNC is reporting the President is due to speak at 1:20pm

Delaware Dem is up slamming the President about the drug problem in Afghan and the problems in Iraq

[Mo1]

It's Tom Carper

[defconw]

Must be Carper, LOL. My cable is acting up. I can get FNC so I have not called to get it fixed yet. I need to do that. I am such a FNC addict I keep forgetting the other channels are not coming in very well. :)

[Mo1]

Carper says instead of a road map to peace .. we have a road map to war

Says we need new leaderership from the President

[Mo1]

Must be Carper, LOL

Yea, that's him

For some reason I kept thing Castle .. I knew that was wrong but I couldn't remember Carper's name

Cornyn is up now saying he disagrees with Carper

[defconw]

I really need to call the cable company, Cornyn looks like a smurf. I can't make out what he's saying through the buzzing. :(

[Mo1]

Cornyn is giving a history lesson when the WOT really started ...

He said it could have started in 1979 in Iran .. or in 1983 with the Beirut bombing .. and he list a bunch other dates
