Senate Coverage -- (November - December '06)
THOMAS ^
| November - December '06

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 just wanted to mention before I forget
I'm reading Barack Obama's new book "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream "
You wouldn't believe some of the things he says in this book
Anyhow ... he mentioned the rules about Senators flying on private jets
They can do this and only have to reimburse the owner of the private jet for the price of a 1st class ticket on a regular airline

Are you hearing this crapola from Warner???
He sounds like a DEM who will be taking over next year...
Talking about how he "hopes" that Pres. Bush will NOT make any decision re: Iraq until he has a meeting with the INCOMING heads of the committees in next session..
And then working TOGETHER to get a bipartisan 2 BRANCH decision...how to go forward!!!!
IOW...Pres. Bush is asking to give up his CIC job!!!

IMO...Warner sounded like he has ZERO respect for Pres. Bush, but just thinks all of the DEMS he works with are peachy!
