Kerry's Senate record
I see a lot of things thrown around the Internet regarding Kerry's voting record. These things are always anti Kerry. What is a good source (a simple source) for explaining Kerry, for defending Kerry. Something that can easily be used to outline accomplishments. I find it annoying that his record is not being defended in this regard.

3. Kerry Should Tell People To Ask The Foreign Relations Republicans
What they think of him. I guarantee you that every one of them will vouch for Kerry's character.

7. Check out Kerry's work in uncovering
the BCCI scandal in which Kerry was on Senate Banking Committee.

He exposed banking fraud that diverted money to terrorists, including bin Laden's Brother-in Law. There were many indictments and convictions (Iran Contra)

Many of these criminals, including Fox News correspondent Ollie North, were pardoned by Bush I.

I don't know why the Kerry campaign has kept this so quiet.

Also, his "liberal" voting record is actually pro-Labor by 92%. He co-sponsored the Family and Medical Leave Act that was signed into law in 1993, after three Bush I vetoes. This is a mainstay in the work place, especially for women.

Kerry has a great record in the Senate, just a lousy campaign. We should be hitting the public over the head with Kerry's accomplishment's, rather than have to research them to find out.

8. I put this together over the summer.
http://www.ideamouth.com/respect.htm

Some is shamelessly lifted from JohnKerry.com and other sites, some I rewrote slightly to make it more concise.
