President Bush is trying to pardon himself.

Here’s the deal: Under the War Crimes Act, violations of the Geneva Conventions are felonies, in some cases punishable by death. When the Supreme Court ruled that the Geneva Convention applied to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees, President Bush and his boys were suddenly in big trouble.

Vote NO on H.R. 4844.2. Do not allow H.R. 4844 to be attached to any appropriations conference report.

Sen. Mel MartinezPhone: (202) 224-3041
