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 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 us 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)
We know Tim Johnson didn’t vote.
McCain is out of town.
The dems by this vote not only sent a message to all the terrorist
They also sent a message that the United States cannot be trusted and our word means NOTHING
Good going Dems ... you just screwed us all for YEARS to come

Oh that was fast. Thanks JIm.
This guy is a LOON
Yeah...Gordon Smith and Hagel are officially lefties now.
Thanks...I see McCain and his little toady Graham didn’t vote
Hey Sen Coleman .. a little too late .. you shouldn’t have allowed it to get this far by voting for cloture
You failed our military and you failed our country
After that speech yesterday and he didn't vote? .. what a bleeping jerk
You just said what I have been thinking...
Normie is talking to his Minnesota constituents..”please don’t put ME in with the warmongers”...
I guess they don’t think it is important to have their names in the Congressional Record of having voted AGAINST this surrender bill.
I happen to think that it is important..and Smith and Hagel are worse...but to NOT be there for this vote, and have your name down for which “side” you are on, the American or the terrorist side...is indefensible..except for Sen. Tim Johnson.
I am sick of these frauds that only give a damn about themselves
One of these days when I have extra time .. I’m going to go research congressional records and the speeches given back during WWII and compare them to days war
