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)
Durbin is a liar and Byrd is wrong.....Stevens !
Area is open for oil and gas leasing. This was written into the law that created ANWR.
.
Stevens is so tired of the Liberal Crap, and KKK Byrd's portraying himself as THE ONLY Senator who knows the true rules of the Senate and the Constitution....what an ass....
Saying they don't know what this part of Alaska looks like
He's restraining himself, he normally blows his top.
Stevens is ripping the Dems a "new one"
God Bless this man!
He is angry and should be.
Steven is an honest man who speaks in righteous indignation at the lying and deceit of some of the dem senators. "I'm not going to yield...no one's yielded to me, Senator." Who was the senator trying to get him to yield?
Bless his heart....he keeps referring to the ones that want to stab him in the back as "my friend".....
he won't yeild the floor
says no one did it for him
This guy has been lied to for over 25 years. Only once was his request to drill in ANWR allowed for a vote and that was then vetoed by Clinton.
If this goes down, A number of senators will find no money for their states when they come to Stevens for help.
Does the cloture vote come next?
I believe so .. but I've been wrong before
He's actually saying that there won't be any money for any of this because the money comes from the drilling.
Methinks those slimbuckets are going to be in a world of hurt.
Yes, he broke bad during Katrina.
Stevens said he'd asked for an apology from Durbin, but he wouldn't accept it now. Whew!lol
Stevens just told the Senators that they will not be going home for Christmas.
Wow .. he is really uspet about this
