please specify Kerry's accomplishments in this area. You can paste the portions of his website to which you refer. I'm not interested in his campaign promises.

I guess that's why his entourage drives around in SUVs. Remember this? - Gas-Guzzling 'Enviro' Sen. Kerry Exposed Do as Kerry says ... White House wannabe Sen. John Kerry is anti-choice on letting Americans decide what sort of car to drive, but the limousine liberal's hypocrisy has been exposed for the whole world to see. "Startling video footage from an anti-ANWR, pro-energy-conservation rally," at which the Taxachusetts Democrat and others spoke out against drilling in a tiny section of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, painted a most curious juxtaposition, thanks to Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy, which gave NewsMax.com permission today to run its photos. ... not as he does. "However," CREA President Italia Federici said, "the behind-the-scenes reality was very different than the message being delivered. It's unconscionable for Senator John Kerry to stand on stage and tell the American public to accept higher gasoline prices, forego energy stability and to hold Congress to his standard of environmental integrity, while behind the scenes, he and his friends arrive in chauffeur-driven SUVs and limousines." The group has posted footage supporting its case on its Web site at www.crea-online.org. CREA pointed out that opponents of reducing America's dependency on foreign oil are "little more than a public relations and fundraising tool for Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., and many 'environmental' organizations," United Press International reported today. Kerry has appeared on Fox News Channel and other media outlets to demand even stricter mileage standards for vehicles. Of course, anyone who wishes to drive a little deathtrap is free to do so, but like other Americans, many "environmentalist" elitists choose to drive safe, roomy and comfortable cars. At the recent anti-energy-independence rally, "behind the scenes, Senator Kerry and his so-called 'environmental' friends arrive at the event in limousines and SUVs, which average a mere 13 mpg in the city - 40 percent to 60 percent less fuel efficient than the average automobile's city performance," CREA observes on its Web site. Aaaah - just in time for "Earth Day," when millions of "enviros" hop into their gas guzzlers and clog America's parks to celebrate poor old Mother Nature.
