According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel<\/a>, nine representatives have  introduced a bill calling for an end to the 46-year-old ban on travel to Cuba.  The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on  February 4, and is called The Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act.  The bill would allow Americans and Cuban exiles living in America unrestricted travel to Cuba.  The bill is sponsored by Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass. and eight co-sponsors.  The co-sponsors include representatives Rosa DeLauro<\/a>, D-Conn., Sam Farr<\/a>, D-Calif., and Ron Paul<\/a>, R- Texas, Rep James McGovern, D-MA, Donna Edwards, D-MD, Jerry Moran, R-KS, Jeff Flake, R-AZ, and Jo Ann Emerson, R-MO.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to me that none of the sponsors of the bill are from the Florida area where most of the Cuban exiles live.  According to the article, the Cubans in Florida do not support this bill–they want the freedom to visit their relatives, but they do not want American tourist dollars pouring money into the failing Castro regime.  The article also mentions that fact that the resorts that the American tourists would be visiting are closed to Cubans.  The legislation being introduced during the beginning of President Obama’s administration does not seem to be moving toward the preservation or expansion of freedom, in fact, it seems to be going the other way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
