I think he was divorced in 1988 but do not know when he got the annulment. The annulment might be like his military record it is kept secret probably for good cause to him. I suspect it may be as false as the military record.
America will get what it deserves and if good people dont vote,wo be to America.

IIRC, Carl Cameron, on FoxNews after the debate, confirmed to Brit that Kerry 'signatured'/sponsored 56 bills that passed both the House and Senate, but only 5 of those were signed into law by a President........

SENATE ONLY! No pocket veto. But I will confirm this to be 100% for sure

a less 'activist' government

They have to pass the budget and they can provide for the relief of individual citizens. That should be about the extent of it.

From the Fresno Bee:

Kerry retorted that the Senate has passed 56 bills that he wrote. http://www.fresnobee.com/local/story/9283181p-10187989c.html

This is your best answer, from the John Kerry website. It's an instant response to last night's debate.

57 bills and resolutions John Kerry has sponsored over the years have passed the U.S. Senate. Countless others have been improved because of his work, including the Clean Air Act, the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the COPS program.

Notice the sly wording, how Kerry's 57 bills and resolutions passed the US Senate. Only got past the US Senate and no further is my conclusion. However this 57 most likely includes the 9 the Republicans mentioned, that made it past the House and got signed by the President into law. So the Kerry breakdown is probably:

9 John Kerry bills and resolutions got signed into law

48 John Kerry bills and resolutions got passed by the US Senate and got no further. IOW they were duds.

Saw your question about Kerry's First wife, Julia Thorne last week.

There is an article by NewsMax.com that states how she was alone and overwhelmed by Kerry's political career and was silently prepared for death (suicide).

The article is at:

Forget the headline, read the body of the article.

To be fair, Kerry doesn't show up much for his Senate work. It's just not that easy passing a lot of bills and resolutions when you're not there.
