Yesterday, the Senate began debate on the GSE/FHA Reform bill. I recorded the C-SPAN Senate proceedings to my DVR while I was in Salem for a hearing and watched snippets last night. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Republican Senators Shelby and Martinez (former HUD Secretary) spoke up strongly in favor of the bill.
How to share with you what they said? Fairly simple.
In the right pane of the blog notice the link "C-SPAN Congressional Video Search".This morning I used the link to find all instances where Mel Martinez spoke yesterday HERE; and for Senator Shelby HERE. (I selected the date, the Senate, and selected the Senator from a long list of Senators who spoke yesterday).
Note that when you click on individual segments for an individual Senator or Representative, you will find not see the video, but ALSO a written transcript of their remarks which can be copied/pasted into an email, a presentation, other document formats , etc.
(To illustrate another use of this search tool: HERE is a search result using these selections, "House" "2008", Blumenauer, and "Housing"; there are four search results found).
