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 Majority and Senate Minority
And Monthly Calendars for the House Majority and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
She says these cuts will increase the number of pregnancies and abortions
She says that this congress is not serious about cutting abortions .. because of the cuts in family planning
She sure has a pair of brass ones
I happend to see that on the DNC website yesterday as I was searching for the whereabouts of Howard Dean.
"Many women will be really out of luck." What an elegant speaker she is, no?
Oh yea, sure ... hahahahahahaha
Get crazy-stupid for the kooks on the left, then all caring and concerned with halfway's sane statements for the MSM to gobble up for soundbytes.
You know what, Mo, John Kerry does a better job of speaking on the Senate floor than this woman does. Think about that.
I don't know ... it might be a tie with her and Kerry's speaking skills
I soooooooo wish Sen Gregg would debate her
My Eyes, My Eyes! I have to go to work for a few hours. Tell Hill to send me a check and I will stay home and listen to her. ICK!
Thanks. I just got done washing dishes and gladly will miss her. I have a habit of keeping her off of my t.v.
Rocekfeller is up next
LOL. I thought for a minute that Gregg was pulling a pistol out of his belt.
If Rocky Rococo can keep his speech to a bare minimum I can sneak out afterward and shovel off my walk.
I think I need a beer! ;-)
I so wish that we would see two federal marshalls appear behind Rockefeller while he's speaking.
One dings him on the head with a nightstick, straightening out his crooked eyesight, and the other dropping Rocky to the floor, mashing his face into the carpet.
LOL ... he nail her about the fact that she voted for it before
Nuh-UHHH! La-la-la-la-la-la-la! CAN'T HEAR YOU!
LOL. Lovely scenario.
