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.

Ackman says he doesn't have a problem with people praying to God .. but that he has a problem when God talks back to them
Then he mentions how Hitler was elected to office
Then he asks how do you compromise with a government that is a terrorist state
Do you compromise with them .. do you give them half a state?
Maddy says it's one thing to talk and another to give in
She says that more enemies are being created then we can handle
She we should never give up our principals .. but we also shouldn't give up finding a solution
Now she mention the God aspect .. brings up President McKinney.... ????

about the roll of the CIC .. Pence asked once Congress gives the CIC authority what does she think that means ?
Maddy says the way the Constitution is set up and in books it is a struggle
she says debate is good and it's not easy if you are in the exe. branch
says there is no debate between the 2 branches
says she isn't questioning the authority of the CIC
she is just recommending congress understand their roll and to keep debate open

Says she isn't against a aircraft carrier .. she just wants a debate as to way one is being sent
