US Election: Senator McCain's priorities

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- So far in the current Congress, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has introduced 21 bills. Just one of them has passed into law. That is S. 327, the Cesar Estrada Chavez Study Act, which was passed as a part of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008.

Much of McCain's legislating is oriented toward his home state, with native American issues and Arizona land issues joining interests of Senator McCain's like military reform, campaign finance regulation, and a smattering of other things.

Senator McCain has introduced only one bill in 2008. This is the fuel tax holiday he proposed at the beginning of the summer. McCain's 2008 is the portrait of a man campaigning for the presidency.
