John Kerry: AWOL Senator
The Hill, Jan. 14,2004
http://www.thehill.com/news/011404/gephardt.aspx
The little-noticed law, 2 USC Sec. 39, reads: “The Secretary of the Senate and the Chief Administrative Officer of the House … shall deduct from the monthly payments (or other periodic payment authorized by law) of each Member or Delegate the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the Senate or House, respectively, unless such Member or Delegate assigns as the reason for such absence the sickness of himself or of some member of his family.”
The ACU. . . plans to target Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who missed 237 votes last year, 59 percent of the total.
The Washington Times, Jan. 15, 2004

The ACU. . . demanded that Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut repay 59 percent and 54 percent of their salaries, respectively.
New York Post, January 30, 2004 Friday
According to the Congressional Budget Office, President Bush's 2004 defense budget - $470 billion - is the largest [defense budget] in U.S. history. Kerry was absent for that vote.
(of course, Kerry lied during the January 29th debate, saying, "I have voted for the largest defense budgets in the history of our country," though the record shows he missed that vote." The New York Post, January 30, 2004).
GANNETT NEWS SERVICE, November 25, 2003
Regarding the Medicare vote:
"Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and John Edwards of North Carolina, two of Lieberman's rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, attended Monday's procedural votes. Edwards voted against final passage of the Medicare bill on Tuesday and Kerry missed the vote to campaign in Iowa."
The New York Times, November 24, 2003
Regarding the vote on the Energy Bill
"In addition, given the narrowness of Friday's vote, it would be useful if three senators who missed the vote -- each a sworn opponent of the bill -- would actually show up when Mr. Frist tries again to shut down the filibuster. The three are Ernest Hollings of South Carolina and two candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, John Kerry of Massachusetts and John Edwards of North Carolina."
And so on, and so forth.
The bottom line is, Kerry has put his campaign above his constituents. He is an AWOL Senator who has deserted his constituents in Massachusetts to further his own, selfish political interests.
