Senate Coverage -- (December '05)

Thomas ^ | 12-12-05 | US Congress

[OXENinFLA]

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.

[Jrabbit]

She voted aye...

[Carolinamom]

Thanks...didn't catch it. What about Lindsey Graham and McLame?

[Txsleuth]

Notice that DeWine's name was called, but he didn't vote NO until CHAFEE did...I guess they had to figure out whether they are REPs or DEMS today...

I PRAY that when cloture fails...that STEVENS and LANDRIEU find someway to keep them all there for the next week!

[Mo1]

Thanks about Warner .. I didn't catch the answer



Voinovich - aye

[Mo1]

"What about Lindsey Graham and McLame?"



Both voted Aye

[ken5050]

Landrieu knows the vote is going down, so she can afford to vote for it, to save her skin at back home..

[Mo1]

"Notice that DeWine's name was called, but he didn't vote NO until CHAFEE did..."


Good Catch!

[Carolinamom]

Thanks for keeping me abreast...I'm TRYING to get some cleaning done, but....LOL

[McGavin999]

I know of 2 republicans who voted against clothure, any others besided Chafee and DeWine?

[Mo1]

I think they are the only 2 so far .. but don't quote me

[Carolinamom]

I want Stevens and Landrieu to make sure that dingy harry does not get to spend Christmas in Searchlight. Ho Ho HO

[Txsleuth]

NO...probably won't be if Snowe, Collins and Smith voted aye...

Did Smith vote yet, Mo1

[Semper Paratus]

They want to keep debating, then keep debating until they don't want to.

[wallcrawlr]

I've just got here...whats up??

[Mo1]

Did Smith vote yet, Mo1

I think so .. but not sure how he voted

[kabar]

Smith voted aye.

[Mo1]

Looks like the Dems will block the cloture vote

[Txsleuth]

This vote kinda puts a LIE to the crapola that the dems have been spewing the last few days...

About how UNFAIR and IMMORAL it is to have the House, Senate and Presidency be one party, the Republicans, doesn't it??

WTG, dems, you guys just keep shooting yourselves in the foot.
