C-SPAN: Congressional Chronicle

Did you know that the Congress sessions; as well as other governmental related matters are recorded and can be located at.....http://www.c-spanvideo.org. C-SPAN (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network) is the broadcasting network the broadcast the federal government proceedings.


In March 2010, this video library was created and has audio and video recordings from as early as 1987. The "Congressional Chronicle is a section with searchable transcripts of House and Senate floor debates and pages for current and past members of Congress, with biographies, voting records, campaign finance records, and a timeline of House and Senate sessions. The site also provides episodes of Book TV and Booknotes, its now discontinued series of author interviews."
I believe that this find is a treasure for those who are interested in knowing: what's is going on in the Congress sessions and understanding the flow of this process. Although this strictly informational, non-entertaining site serves its purpose; it is still important to be informed and knowledgeable. 





Several videos can be found on this such as the one below, the full 2012 DNC Bill Clinton speech:


The more informed you are, the greater the possibilities.
