On December 17, 2014 President Obama took executive action to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba after a 62 year break. He also released 3 Cubans held unjustly in US jails; took Cuba off the US Terrorist list; and made it easier to travel to Cuba (and several other measures). But the fact is only Congress can end the economic embargo that has strangled Cuba for two generations and catalyzed a brain drain of Cuban professionals. In view of that fact I'm calling on all Latino leaders to endorse WCVI's call to repeal the Cuba embargo which is embodied in three shameful laws: The Helms Burton Act The Cuba Democracy Act The Cuban Adjustment Act By endorsing this call to action you are joining with the vast majority of Latino opinion, American opinion, Latin American opinion, and world opinion. Indeed virtually sector (except the Congressional majority as well as beneficiaries of embargo policies) supports the US embargo of Cuba. Please add your name to this righteous cause by clicking below and we'll keep you informed on this important cause, as well as WCVI trips to Cuba. Sincerely, Antonio Gonzalez, WCVI President ADD YOUR NAME! ENDORSE THE REPEAL OF CUBA EMBARGO!
