President Obama new Policy toward Cuba

Submitted by aerm60 on 6/10/09.

The last April 13 our President Obama thru a press declaration let us know the lift off of the restrictions imposed for Mr. Bush administration allowing the cuabans americans make frecuent trips to the Island to see their families.

But more more than a Month after that , still the cubans do not have the right to see their families and bring to them the spiritual and economic help that so much need.

Could Mr. Joe Garcia explained to us why the restrictions are imposed so fast and the regulations to open the travel and family remittances take so long?.

What we can do to accelerate the activation of the presidetial orders from April 13?

Thanks

Alfredo Rodriguez
