Thank you, OXENinFLA for putting together the below comments and links!

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 we will 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 us 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 ,
Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats
And Monthly Calendars for the House and Roll Call Votes can be found here.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT (aka The Dept. of Defense)
No, I haven't been watching .. I haven't been able to keep any food down for the last two days and been basically vegging out on the couch
Hi FRiends :-) I do not get C-Span 3 :-(
I am trying to listen to Rush, and watch the idiocy on FOX about the Libby "conviction"
And as for YOU Mo1....get some fresh ginger...steep about a tablespoon of grated fresh ginger in boiling water for 5 minutes...then sip away (GREAT for nausea and other things that ail ya :-)
Feel Better FAST, FRiend
Dang, Mo.....is this different than what you were sick with???
You poor thing...I am so sorry to hear about your tummy ache.
Turn the TV OFF!! No news for the rest of the week..it is all going to be bad news for "our side"....
Prayers up for you friend...get well soon.
WHERE ARE YOU????
I haven't seen you on any threads this week...except the Imus thread and a few on the ME thread.
Hi, sleuthie.
Finishing painting touch-ups, doing stuff with the girls, had some meetings I could no longer put off, all that sort of thing.
I also had a week long plus headache which left me avoiding looking at the computer screen in the later part of the day.
Now feeling quite disappointed about Libby :(
They had a hearing on the dismissed US Attorneys?
Well, of course they did..silly question.
Sigh
Dang Mo1, hate to hear you have the flu now too.
Rest and get well soon.
Yes, this morning..some of the "dismissed" US Attorneys were in front of a Senate panel..with Leahy, Specter and others..
I had to leave though..and couldn't hear it all...then, when I got home, the Libby verdict came in...and I am about to the point where I may have to paint every square inch of my house...just to keep me from the TV, computer and everything.
I am getting fed up with it all....wanna hide.
Of course, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, jon f'n carry didn't waste anytime saying that the verdict against Libby means that Bush lied to get us into Iraq....blech.
The dems will ride this all the way to victory in 2008, I am afraid.
Sorry to hear ANY of you are under the weather :-(
I am in a "blue funk" as I am seemingly watching my country go to hell in a handbasket, before my very eyes.
THis is one of those times when I pray that President Bush goes before the public and at least attempts to reassure us that he is still in command, and this CRAP is not going to go unnoticed or untended by him.
You all take care...I am just gonna lurk and try to wrap my arms around all of this garbage.
I think I need the AI thread tonight, to help me keep my sanity!
I'm right there with you in the blue funk.
Talk to ya'll soon.
To further make your funk worse...I just saw a panel on Neil Cavuto's show that said that this verdict will probably open the floodgates of attempts to go after Cheney on many other things..
Txie...There is no doubt in my mind that the Democrats AND the media ARE THE ENEMY!!
I have to resist banging my head on the desk and reactivating the headache.
(Mag is going to think I was the one with the migraine, but it never rose to that level.)
I see the senators are deeply involved in their greatest interest...how to get as much money as they can.
BOY, are you right.
I just heard that Wilson is going to be gloating all over TV tonight.
I would be watching AI probably anyway...but tonight FOR SURE...
Rockefeller has got his knickers in a twist because one senator is holding up his intelligence bill. Heheheh. Wonder who it is.
Did you see that Dem ditz, Laura Schwartz on Neil's show???
Rockefeller is as corrupt as they come...he makes Pelosi and Reid look like pikers!
I tell you...the level of corruption in the Democrat party defies description...and I pray GOD that some of these people come to justice sooner rather than later.
She is one of a handful to whom I will not listen. I turn her off.
I'm listening to the senators wrestling for the money pot. Leaky is up now doing a dramatic reading of the names of states.
