Candidate Review - Civil Rights - Senator John F. Kerry

One critique for the Kerry Web Page. You need to make it easier to find the candidates own words. Instead, on most of the issues, you get the impression the press officer, or someone like that, typed out the candidates view on the issues in the press secretaries (or webpage guys) words. Why not link to speeches the Candidate has given? Anyway we have two quotes from the civil rights part of Kerry's web page. The first is from the candidate himself and the second is from the discussion of Affirmative Action (and unatributed).

We need to guarantee equal rights and civil rights and say that, here in America, workers have the right to organize -- women have the right to choose - and justice belongs to everyone regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation.

"John Kerry believes in an America where we take common sense steps to ensure that our schools and workplaces reflect the full face of America. He has consistently opposed efforts in the Senate to undermine or eliminate affirmative action programs and supports programs that seek to enhance diversity, for example, by fostering the growth of minority small businesses."
