| What has Kerry sponsored, written, or co-sponsered in the Senate? |
|
I am hearing the pukes saying that Kerry has a terrible record in the senate. They are saying that he has not written anything worthwhile. So my question is this. What has Kerry sponsored, written, or co-sponsered in the Senate?
What bills have his name on them? I want specifics and I expect answers. I don't care to argue with fellow dems, but I want to be able to defend him with the pukes. Also, please give me some sources where I can get info. Thanks |

|
In addition to his other well publicized achievements most of which will be minimized in this forum.

| 16. Thanks for the info. |
|
I certainly don't see any "bush lite" information in those sponsored or co-sponsored bills. I don't see the lesser of two evils either. Thanks for confirming by belief that I am doing the right thing.

| 6. That reminds me a little of his answer to the debate question in WI. |
|
Do you think you could summarize this, or work it into a couple of themes that connect his legislative interests and goals?

| 11. Yes if you gave me a year to do it....summarizing 350 bills covering vast |
|
areas of interest takes a bit more time than a five year career.
YOu could just as easily go to his site and ferret out his positions which are pretty consistent with the vast majority of his votes, bills and speeches. |

| 12. Does Kerry have a coherent theme to his candidacy? What principles do |
|
his candidacy revolve around?
This is why Clinton said Senators don't make great candidates -- he said they don't have a set of policies with which they're identified. Edwards has done a great job establishing an identity around which his policies revolve. "Give me a year" is the totally wrong answer. If YOU can't give me a paragraph, I don't know how the public is going to be able to see in Kerry anything which tells them what he's all about. What is he all about? |

| 13. Incidentally, this is what was wrong with the Dean Massive Information... |
|
...Dumps.
You can dump information on people. But what they need is to understand the candidate in a way that is coherent and logical. Information dumps are neither. How do people take an information dump into the polling booth? They don't. They take a one-paragraph summary in their minds, and vote accordingly. |

| 19. see this post..I'll edit it down..there's one factual error |
|
according to one poster that I could not independently confirm:
All in all, I believe he is the most well rounded experientially. From my prior post which was a combination advocacy/ defense post to another poster: must say I have never considered Kerry's votes on IWR or the Patriot Act purely political. Some people feel that way, I don't. Re: The Patriot Act, it filled gaps that FISA left open and if you recall FISA warrants had been issued against one of the 9/11 suspects and a federal judge had rejected them in the past. The act itself is wrong and there are many problems with it but that is exactly why provisions were written in for the act to sunset. Re: IWR - Kerry's position changed on IWR after a closed door meeting as did many senators and congresspeople including one of my own. There is an LBN thread detailing more info about OSP and how these agenst were pressured to accept evidence that was debunked and give it credence. IF these agents had previously testified credibly before Kerry (and odds are they did given he served on the Intelligence Committee for 18 years and some were senior agents) then it is entirely conceivable that he had to weigh their previous credibility against conflicting information and their current statements. He called it wrong. To people who expect him to explain more, it was a closed door meeting and he would be committing a federal crime to explain himself further. To my knowledge, the only other times he gave his vote for military action were Bosnia and Somalia in his entire career. He did NOT vote for Gulf war 1. Kerry's position on gay marriage is identical to Dean's. He supports civil unions and has MANY strong statements on the record rejecting bigotry against gay people. For being an opportunist, he has a history of ferreting out government corruption. He almost ruined his career when investigating BCCI as a close friend of Carter's (Clark Clifford) became implicated. Clifford, it turns out had NOT committed a crime but he was persona non grata with high level Dems for Clifford even being referenced in the investigation He only backed off from that investigation after Clinton ordered it dropped and there was no where else to go. The two convicted felons in George Bush's administration, Elliot Abrahams and Otto Reich were convicted based on Kerry's investigative work which was then used by the special prosecutor in Iran Contra and Senator Inouye at the hearings to to indict them. It was HIS work that got those hearings accomplished and George Bush Sr's pardons that undermined further convictions as well as Bill Clinton's lack of political will to follow through. His environmental record is better than most in the senate. He pushed HARD for Kyoto (dropped unilaterally by the Bush admin) which would have resulted in less manufacturing jobs being shipped abroad since there in now no incentive for other countries to pass anti-pollution laws. He has enforced (and written) tough banking laws onshore and offshore, which laws if not abandoned by the Bush admin would have made it far easier to trace laundered money in drugs, terrorism AND corporate crime...hardly the act of a corporate apologist. And finally, I am 45 years old and for nearly ALL of my adult life John Kerry has been on the side of the issue with his votes that I value most...be it labor rights, women's rights, clean air, clean water, or darn near any other issue. I further feel that his extensive knowledge of security matters and his long standing relatinship with the senate and congress will lead to greater cooperation to clean up the mess from this administration. His plan on Iraq is not all that far apart from Dean..he is NOT for expanding the mission but for turning it over to the UN. John Kerry is NOT at the mercy of oil companies. He favors alternative energy sources. |

| 10. How About His Contribution To NAFTA? |

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=108&topic_id=34553
Or his call for a commission to radically slash corporate welfare (one reason why he is one the back cover of Arianna's "Pigs At The Trough"): http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=294080 http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/gen/resources/pork/corporate.welfare/ How about the Kerry-Wellstone campaign finance reform (sorry, I had a better link before): http://www.democraticclub-scc.org/Issuescfr.html Kerry-Wellstone was basically the Maine Clean Election Act at the federal level, for those in the know.  |

looking over his sponsored bills the last several years.Few have even made it out of committee, very few have passed. The exception would be some of those "National Bill Jones day" type of bills.
