Wanted Poster for Christopher Columbus

I don't think one needs to be fluent in Spanish to understand what is being said here. This is a picture my co-worker took while in El Salvador to monitor the 1994 elections. I think it's awesome. I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel Columbus Day is something that should be wiped from our holiday roster out of shame.

Here is the translation for those interested:
