Update: New Congress emboldens Cuban Democrats

Following up on the article that ran in the Miami Herald, here's the interview I did on the Jim Defede Show.

Also, I am quoted in an article from today's El Nuevo Herald discussing legislation introduced by Congressman Bill Delahunt (D-MA). The bill, entitled "The Cuban-American Family Rights Restoration Act," would allow Cuban Americans to visit family and loved ones in Cuba, without restrictions. As I say:

"Cubans themselves must be the agents of change. Almost five decades of status quo politics have only served to divide families and ensure the stability of the regime."

For information on how these travel restrictions are viewed in the community, check out NDN's poll of Cuban Americans. Also, be sure to check out After Fidel: A New Day for America's Relations with Cuba and Latin America? an NDN forum to be held next Wednesday, February 7. For more information or to RSVP, click here.
