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 if it gets hot).

So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor you don't have to start a new thread, you can just use this one also if you have 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.

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 Majority and Minority

Roll Call Votes can be found here.

[StriperSniper]

Did you see this?

LOL! Yup, I thought about pinging someone who had a vid-cap ability on my way out, but figured we'd be able to find a shot somewhere after the leftist start to howl! ;-)

Kevin - Good job on the bake-sale and with Mark! :) ROFLMAO!!!

Jam? What, a jar of jam?!? Don't they have strict rules about food on the floor?

[cyborg]

Mark was great today...Sometime in the future I hope we can do the Vietcong Vets for Kerry in the city! LOL

[StriperSniper]

In NYC, we could probably find some real Vietcong Vets. :-/

Now Reid(D-NV) comparing the testing required by 'No Child Left Behind' to raising a steer. He said 'you don't get a calf to grow by weighing him, you feed him'. What the real problem is the NEA is having their smoke cleared away and the mirrors turned on them showing that what they are feeding the kids comes out the other end of steers.

[StriperSniper]

Senate adjourned until 09:30 Eastern Thursday morning.

White House press breifing from today on now C-SPAN 2.(Scott can't read this morning ;-)
