Senate & House Coverage -- (January 2007)

THOMAS ^ | January 2007

[Mo1]

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 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 ,

Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats

And Monthly Calendars for the House and Roll Call Votes can be found here.

Conservatives, be strong and couragous and encourage our leaders!

6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Thanks Mo.

Everyone, hold on to your hats, it's going to be a "bumpy ride"!

[onyx]

Everyone, hold on to your hats,

hats? with this bunch, hold on to our plastic lunch box purses and wallets! :)

[tiredoflaundry]

LOL!!!

[onyx]

Good morning to Kirby too!

[Mo1]

The President is on TV talking about the new Congress and working to get good policies done

Talking about submitting a 5 yr plan to balance the budget by 2012 and making the tax cuts permanent

Now talking about fixing Social Security

[Mo1]

Now talking about earmark reform

[Mo1]

Congress needs to stop hiding language in reports and be more open and honest

[Bahbah]

Thanks, Mo. Just turned it on. Ooops, it's over.

[Mo1]

It was quick

he said what he has to said and left *L*

[Bahbah]

I read somewhere this morning (NYSun maybe) that the President went to the Pentagon and told them he wanted to know how to win in Iraq, not how to extricate ourselves. It was a good start to my day. I hope it is true.

[Mo1]

He is not going to leave the Iraqi's to hang out to dry like we did in Vietnam

So I'm inclined to believe the story

I hope they decide to drop a 5000 pound bomb on top of Sadr

I found this article at The Hill site:

I COULD bode well for the GOP in the future if it works.

[Mo1]

Thanks for the link .. will read it after I get back from my appointment

[Mo1]

HAHAHAHAHAH


FNC is reporting Cindy Sheehan and her gang screamed down Rahm Emanuel and Dems at their big press conference this morning

Emanuel had to stop their presser and leave

[Miss Marple]

I saw that!!! I was just getting ready to post about it at the end of this thread when I saw your note.

They were shouting "Investigate, investigate, troops home now!!"

Let Emmanuel deal with the moonbats for a while. We can just sit back and watch. HA!

[Txsleuth]

I just saw that report....it was so FUNNY!!!!


Let's see...between Cindy Sheehan and Nancy Pelosi..this country may just decide that women with too much power are a pain in the butt.

I can say this...cus I am woman, hear me roar....but, they are totally making a laughingstock of women in power.

Personally, I am HAPPY about this...because these are moonbat dem women....and whole different animal than conservative women.

[Mo1]

Let Emmanuel deal with the moonbats for a while. We can just sit back and watch. HA!

I lol when Major Garret reported that Emmanuel had to cut'n run

[Mo1]

but, they are totally making a laughingstock of women in power.

Hellary did that when she allowed herself to be doormat for Bill

[Txsleuth]

Boy am I glad you brought that up....

I was so angry with Hillary when she gave her cheating, abusive husband cover...and didn't hold him accountable.

I don't know how any group that says they want to help abused women could possibly be FOR her...and why they haven't denounced her.

[Howlin]

I saw that!

Love it.

Let her go after them!

[Mo1]

because they are socialists and will do what they have to to win

[pinz-n-needlez]

Not to mention the popbeads! LOL

[STARWISE]

[tiredoflaundry]

I saw that! What a hoot! It looks like Cindy is going to be a "huge" problem for them now. She claims she will continue to disrupt until they pull the troops from Iraq.

We will need a lot of popcorn!

[pinz-n-needlez]

Cindy may turn into Frankenstein's Monster during this Congress... &&&

[Mo1]

By Emmanuel running away like he did .. you can bet Cindy and her gang will be back for more

[tiredoflaundry]

You know it!

[tiredoflaundry]

When I see things like that , I think,"be careful what you wish for".

Part of me is rooting for Cindy, just to see the Dims squirm!

[tiredoflaundry]

Remember when DU claimed that President Bush would not meet with Cindy because he was scared of her? LOL!

Hey Emmanuel ,Are you scared of Cindy Sheehan?

BWAHAHAAA!!

[pinz-n-needlez]

Same here! LOL

[Peach]

ROFL. I hope the Rats like the creature they helped create.

[Mo1]

here's a thread about it

In the related box.

[Mo1]

Thanks for the links
It will be interesting to how Emmanuel shuts Cindy up, because you just know he was ticked off about what happen

[nopardons]

I saw it on Brit's show, tonight. Crazy Cindy now thinks that she can take over ANY presser and make it her own. The Dems are going to have to but this rabid female dog down, now that she has done this to them and is no longer just going after the; president. LOL
