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)
Thanks, save.
I saw that video earlier. We face so many challenges and then that silly, foolish, power drunk woman goes out and makes things worse.
It’s disheartening.

Boy, oh, boy we saw this coming a long time ago...but, it makes me SICK to see how beholden the Dem party is to the unions.
That's why he vetoed it
It's also a real good way to drive businesses from the state too
OUCH ... great commercial
I remember reading about him vetoing that bill...but it seems like that was quite a while ago...Howie is just now going to Colorado.
I guess he didn’t have the time before...since he was going all over the world telling the world’s leaders that they are in the process of staging their coup d’etat...and as soon as it is over...
International LAW..here we come!!!
Howie is as smart as Gramma Nancy .. he’ll make a lot of promises that he can’t keep
The Unions will give him one more chance .. basically because they have no other choice
The Dems will throw them a little meat to chew on .. but then the unions will want more and they will get mad at the Dems again
It is very disheartening.
Thanks, Mo1.
Here is a pick me up. Take a look at the item and then read the link in it about Roberts and Scalia

LOL Although I think the reporter writing about the two SCOTUS Justices must need a day off.
“nothing is going on today in congress”
Thanks so much, but I can personally only take partial credit for giving our fine staff the day off, so they can’t squander any of our money or freedoms. ;^)
On the topic of stem cells and diabetes, here’s a new study that shows the value of adult stem cells in treating Type 1 diabetes.

I think this is exciting news.

I’m listening to Kennedy lie about stem cell research.
As we all know, there is nothing at all preventing the research.
Yep .. Kennedy has a boat load of money
If it's the way of the future .. Let Kennedy put his money where his mouth is and invest in it
Did you happen to hear when they might vote on this?
I think later today .. though don’t quote me on that
Dorgan makes the false accusation that people are equating cells in a petri dish with a child in the womb. It’s all the fault of religious doctring. He misses the point that it is human life.
I have to hope they don’t take this very dangerous step.
jon carry’s turn now. More smoke and mirrors. If we only federally fund this type of research, everyone will be cured and all will be well.
I wish they would quit referring to people sitting around their kitchen tables. Many of us have actual dining rooms, just like the rich folk.
Kerry up talking about an intern he talk about before who couldn’t walk
