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 we will 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.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
Build the windmills and then they will like us!
Talking about Hope...going to be his call to them.

Mo1....I truly grieve for Freeman's family...and for the death of Freeman.
But, I have to say, the way that article was written, it sounds like his death became "convenient" for Dodd, Obama, and Kerry.
I don't believe a lot of it.
Do away with the FEC and create a new agency, the FEA
Obama is going to be the calm, energizing, above the fray candidate.
Oh ug.....Wesley Clark....with music...I won't back down.
Ha...thanks, that should be "fun" to read.
Wesley Clark is running again???
I can NOT handle listening to him this morning...the introduction for him was just so distorted...ugh
Think he is just up there yammering and going to introduce someone.
Oh, and to bash Bush and the war
Silk Pony in the house. Which America will he speak of today?
That's what I was thinking
Kerry mentioned Capt. Freeman name in that speech he gave in the senate announcing he wouldn't run for prez ... from news reports it was the day the news reported his death
He turns my stomach to look at him....sleezy. Has a bunch of young girl cheerleaders holding signs and cheering for him. Gag me.
I wonder how much Edwards had to pay for those cheerleaders
OMG .. look at him .. he looks like he thinks he is king of the parade
The growth is gone!
Somewhere, an 8 year old girl is going to bed hungry, cuz her daddy lost his job.
Housekeeper walking the picket line with her brothers and sisters so she can have a better life.
It was our friend Mag who asked to be pinged, I think, so this is a just in case pingy.
Why ... why are we here
... because somewhere there is an 8 yr old who will go to bed hungry
Ummmmm ... this sounds like his 2004 Convention speech
He is so awful. What a depressing speech.
