Wow. Bob Dole's 1996 campaign website is still up [View all]

http://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm

From The Civil rights section on his issues page: Bob dole Proudly announces that he:

Supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Voted for the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967. The act protects older employees and job applicants from age discrimination in employment.

In 1990, Senator Dole supported the expansion and clarification of the ADEA to protect older workers from the loss of their employee benefit plans due to age discrimination.

Played an instrumental role in extending the Voting Rights Act in 1982.

Led the battle to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is the first comprehensive federal law which protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in employment, public services, transportation and telecommunications.


He would never make it in the Teabagger-dominated GOP of 2012. Not even as a State legislature candidate.

That said, this site is much more appealing to the eye then Freeperland could ever be.
