Welcome To My Lens About The Cuban Embargo Laws

Thank you for taking the time to visit this lens about a political issue very close to my heart. The Cuban Embargo has existed for decades and has had dire consequences on the people of Cuba.

It is my opinion that this embargo has only served those who have nothing to lose or gain in the circumstances in Cuba. I believe that if those who insist on this embargo were to spend even a day in Cuba would come to see that isolating dictatorships such as the regime in Cuba does nothing and never will do anything to help the common citizen of Cuba.

I have done a lot of research to put this lens together to help inform you, the reader about where
others stand on this issue and why. Please feel free to leave your comments--even your disagreements.

This is an issue that needs to be brought to the Daily Headlines of the Mainstream Reader. Now is the time to leverage the power and wisdom of our new President Elect- Barak Obama to begin to turn the light on the corporate abuse that has persisted
and that has been predicated on the people of Cuba in the name of "democracy".

Here's What I Think About The Cuban Embargo Laws

Time to Change the Cuban Embargo Laws!

The Cuban Embargo has been a complete failure. It has allowed Castro and his brother Raul to perpetuate the excuse that the problems and issues inside Cuba are the fault of someone other than themselves--and to get away with it all these years. The Cuban embargo is the longest standing embargo in history for the express purpose to punish Cuba for the seizure of American corporate properties-- it was never about democracy. Why are we continuing this farce that does nothing but keep the common Cuban citizen from overtaking the current regime that the American government facilitated in the first place? Change the Cuban Embargo law and as part of the negotiations the Castro brothers must go!

This short summary (182 pages) of the effects of the economic embargo should be read by all national politicians and policy makers. Shows how good intentions fail when there is not a unified, world-wide support.

Uses the words of the common man on the streets of Miami as well as some of the most educated Cubans living in the US....people who will soon die and whose feeling would have been lost, had it not been for this writing.

It gives an ultra short yet acccurate history of Cuba form the time of the liberation from Spain in the 1990's to the current situation. This is "must read" information for all second generation Cuban Americans who are "too busy" to do their own research on how we got here.

History of the Cuban Embargo Law

Cuban Embargo:
Domestic Politics Of American Foreign Policy
(Pitt Latin Amercian Studies)

"An engaging study of the behind-the-scenes forces shaping the U.S. embargo of Cuba. . . . Carefully takes us through intrigues in the White House, politics in Congress, and shifts in the exile community to grasp the complex dynamics at work. Haney and Vanderbush expand our historical and conceptual understanding of how multiple actors and circumstances can influence foreign policy."
--Maria de los Angeles Torres, author of In the Land of Mirrors:Cuban Exile Politics in the United States

Here is a real opportunity for you to participate and contribute to real change in the lives of everyday people who suffer under the oppressive mandate of the Cuban Embargo Laws that help to repress and suppress the citizens of Cuba.

Cambio Cuba!

Here is a way to show solidarity for change

There is a quiet movement that consists of wearing a simple white wristband with the word "CAMBIO" (CHANGE). The band was created to show strong support and solidarity with the Cuban people in taking the courage to stand up and claim significant change for themselves at this time when Castro is relinquishing control over Cuba.

Recently, the Castro government arrested at least 70 youth who had the courage to openly wear these bands in Cuba. They were arrested for attempting to disturb the community. The bands and other Cambio "contraband" were taken away and the youth were released after a few hours of detention.

It is rumored that at least 1 million people have been actively protesting the regime throughout Cuba. Many small groups have taken to marching in the streets for change across the island. Their campaigns are similar to the Civil Rights walks in the 1960's and the walks that Ghandi held in India in the 1930's.

Be a part of the 30,000 people who will show repudiation of the Castro dictatorship and solidarity with the Cuban people. A simple but powerful act of support for change that must come to Cuba! Buy Your Cambio Bracelet Here
