Senate Coverage -- (September '05)
Thomas ^ | 9-02-05 | US CONGRESS

Posted on 09/02/2005 4:49:11 AM PDT 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.

I'm sure it was just from shock that comes w/ the death of a close friend.

No .. this was different

Yes, you could tell she was very sad by the loss of her dear friend ... you could see that in her eyes

But this was a continuous shaking ... it looked very much like possible Parkinson's

So what are they going to do stop the operations to subpoena people back to Washington? What morons. How are you going to have a hearing without the principles? Some of these Senators are fit to blow their own noses.

Indirect smack down to the State of Louisiana by Lott "our local and state officials have been organized and united working together". There has been some bureaucratic nonsense but we are cutting through that!
