Senate Coverage -- (March '06)
Thomas ^ | 3-1-06 | US Congress

Posted on 03/01/2006 6:27:28 AM PST by 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.

Oh...and I hit post too fast...he also brought up the need to review and possibly change the CFIUS progam...and that THEY need to be a deliberative body...not knee-jerk.

Good on him...

Coleman wants to pursue interjecting American figurehead companies into the mix. Right now, there are lobbyiests all over K Street salivating over getting those deals for their clients.

I stream talk radio through my computer and watch C-Span on tv. If I tried to listen to two streams on my computer at the same time, I'd make myself crazier than I am. :)

I know....I have had that conundrum before...and now that my grandkiddos watch my TV...I have to make choices...

Today I chose the Senate...because I knew that something was going to happen because of yesterday..

It it was a normal Senate session, I might have streamed 3 to listen to Rummy...I love that guy!!! LOL

I am hoping they replay it tonight.

Coburn is doing a great job on this issue right now. Laut wanted him to yield for a question -- but Coburn declined. I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to remind the body that it was BILL CLINTON who stopped the stopped the bombing of OBL in 99 -- but no one has yet raised his name. Too bad.

Great, Laut just likened Emeraties to mafia like gangs who we wouldn't ask to sit on the bank board.

Lieberman is going to vote AGAINST cloture and believes, I think he said, that there are not enough votes for it to pass anyway.
