Talk:List of legislation sponsored by John Kerry

message: The bills I listed came off the AFL-CIO web site which I erroneously assumed was comprehensive. Since it's not comprehensive, the list might be a bit selective given the source. Anyone is welcome to go through the listings on Kerry's Senate site to see if I missed any significant or major legislation that should be added. It's a big list, so I won't have the time to get to it myself for a few days. Editors who want to avoid headaches should be aware that Rex is making an issue of the recent changes to this section over in arbitration.Wolfman 16:46, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

In particular, I contend that the numbers I have cited are correct as they come directly from John Kerry web site. If any object to the numbers, please comment here and explain.

replies: text: Scanning the AFL-CIO link, the numbers seem misleading.  First, a bunch of the "sponsored bills" are resolutions honoring the neighbor's cat -- the sort of meaningless thing that always gets passed.  We shouldn't be counting those.  Second, bills passed seems incorrectly tallied, a lot of those measures passed.  Third, if we're going to tally this stuff, we might as well use all the data for his Senate career instead of just the past few Congresses.Wolfman 21:43, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

text: I concur. Cut it. There are 100 different ways to present this information, but in the end it's really meaningless anyway.  Gamaliel  21:57, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
