Lets talk about Cuba

[MichaelHarris]

There are quite a few people in and around the Miami area that vote Republican because of it's hard-line stance on Cuba. Personally I feel the embargo's against Cuba have gone on long enough. Our attempts to starve a nation into submission is as out-dated as the Communism we fought to crush.

As Democrats I wonder how we can reach out to those voters who remember the revolution and the pain their family suffered. The best I could come up with is an open Cuba, a Cuba they could once again visit, a Cuba they can cherish once again. Why in the world would they want to continue to support a party that keeps their homeland closed to them. I would think an open Cuba would begin to heal the wounds.

I admit not knowing a lot about the suffering these people felt but I do have a great respect for open societies and I hope we can once again open Cuba to Americans both in travel and trade.
