Gould,

According to John Kerry's senate web site he lists the following
accomplishments for the last 19 years. I have to be honest with you, it
really isn't that impressive, he doesn't list one major bill he sponsered
and had passed.

The other stuff you had listed is fluff done with every campaign.
