Kerry's as Legislator

Source: Kos, 2004-08-04

Candidate: Dick Cheney

John Kerry - who passed 57 bills in the Senate - has been attacked by Bush and Cheney, and every Republican Talking Head they can muster, for having a lack-luster record in the Senate.

Well, let's see:

Legislative Accomplishments

Cheney, 11 years in the House:

96th Congress: 4 Sponsored; 0 became Law

97th Congress: 4 Sponsored: 0 became Law

98th Congress: 8 Sponsored: 0 became Law

99th Congress: 7 Sponsored: 1 became Law
(H.R.1246 : A bill to establish a federally declared floodway for the Colorado River below Davis Dam.)

100th Congress: 7 Sponsored: 1 became Law

(H.R.712 : A bill for the relief of Lawrence K. Lunt.)

101st Congress: 1 Sponsored: 0 became Law

Taken from a Kerry press release, which included this quote from Congressman Spratt (D-SC):

Dick Cheney served in the Congress for 11 years. I served with him for most of these years. In that time, he only passed two bills. One was to build a flood plain on the Colorado River and the other was a bill to help a constituent. What�s even more telling about Dick Cheney�s record in the House is not what he supported but what he opposed � things like Headstart and funding for seniors. It seems pretty dishonest for Bush and Cheney to be attacking John Kerry - who passed 57 bills in the Senate � for his legislative accomplishments.

Just thought we all should know.
