Thank you, OXENinFLA for putting together the below comments and links!
.
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 ,
Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats
And Monthly Calendars for the House and Roll Call Votes can be found here.

BTW .. I wonder if Brydbrain realizes he's saying Congress is responsible for all the over spending and not the President
Because it is the (HEAR ME NOW) Congress that earmarks spending

Byrd is wrong. They are not calling for doing away with earmarks. What is he talking about? The President is calling for fewer earmarks so the executive branch can do the earmarking. I don't think so!

Ah...but that is when Byrd would say that it is Pres. Bush thats signs the bills...so it is HIS fault.
Instead of a new "Office of Public Integrity"..having to do with ethical lapses of the Senate.
How about we have a group of Americans, like us...that look at the pork spending and let them know what WE agree with.
Cornyn said today one earmark was a ridiculous amount for ONE light signal in New York....do the people of New York know that they are all paying for a light signal at one intersection that 99% of them will never drive through.
That is the same state's citizens...like Cornyn said..why would one of his constituents here in Texas (Me) pay for a light signal in New York???

Byrd is way over his allotted time and way past the extra time given to him.

Okay, here is the ROCK STAR. LOL. A mixed race man who can speak English in an articulate manner, even if he doesn't really say much...however, that did work for Bill Clinton.
