House Tries To Lift Cuban Embargo

From our friends at the Cuban Democracy PAC

For the first time in approximately a decade, Flake, Delahunt, Rangel and Co. were unable to present any Cuba travel and embargo amendments to this year's Treasury Appropriations (now called Financial Services Appropriations) bill. This historic endeavour results from procedural obstacles, and the OVERWHELMING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT shown last week - despite strong pressure from Flake and Delahunt - for the Cuban opposition in the Foreign Ops Appropriations bill (by a vote of 254-170).

This is a truly historic endeavour, as these bills have been the SOLE VEHICLE for attempts to alter Cuba policy, and an unqualified message that we shall not rest until human rights, fundamental freedoms and democracy prevail for the Cuban people.
