Senator John McCain is running for President of the United States. He is a party to authoring, lobbying and expediting ethnic cleansing and GENOCIDE. Here is a letter he wrote. The actual gif file is hard to read. Here is a text version.Vic Phelps, Media Director for SOL Communications wrote this letter to McCain and as yet there has been no response.McCain admittedly gets his information from Janet Reno. We have suggested to Mr. McCain that he get his information from the NGOs on the ground, the ones that are on the Mountain, not Washington where Reno has already proven her catastropic information sources ie: WACO.
