SENATE COVERAGE -- (APRIL '04)

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 if it gets hot).

So if you see something happening on the Senate/House floor you don't have to start a new thread, you can just use this one also if you have 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.

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 Majority and Minority

Roll Call Votes can be found here.

OMG LEVIN just LIED, he just said that one option GWB has proposed was to "CUT AND RUN".

Just goes to show how desperate they are

What ticks me off the most is by making comments like this ... they are putting our military lives in danger AND THEY KNOW IT!!

[OXENinFLA]

This is something that LEVIN can be pounded on.

FRIDAY ON C-SPAN AT 2PM ET Sen. Kerry Outlines His Iraq Policy At Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) discusses his proposed Iraq policy.

So just so I have this straight. Kerry gets invited by President Fletcher Lamkin to speak at Westminster after Mr. Lamkin said "surprised and disappointed that Mr. Cheney chose to step off the high ground and resort to Kerry-bashing for a large portion of his speech."
In that e-mail, Lamkin said he was extending an invitation to Kerry "in the interest of balance and fairness and integrity." for a "rebuttal" to what Cheney said about Kerry.

But that's NOT what Kerry will talk about. It seems now that this speech will be a BUSH-bashing speech that will revolve around the "Mission Accomplished." banner. Kerry to Criticize Bush's Policy in Iraq In Prepared Text, Kerry Says U.S. Has Not Stablized Situation in Iraq
