It will require an Act of Congress to end the embargo. So where do you think the majority of your political efforts must go?Tony Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305818761401974560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227748558915477890.post-67879704007582739302012-11-14T10:43:15.415-05:002012-11-14T10:43:15.415-05:00While we do not want to discourage political activ...While we do not want to discourage political activity, it is important to understand that signing a petition is the least impactful way to get an elected official's attention.What is required by Cuban-American moderates and other Americans who favor normalization and travel for all is to a take a page from the opposition's political activities -raising money and being a cohesive voting bloc. Political money must be raised and contributed to a PAC that will support electing candidates in favor of travel and ending the embargo; and second - those Cuban-American moderates need to coalesce into a tangible voting bloc, not the amorphous Cuban American vote that voted for President Obama when it is still not clear why they gave their votes to President Obama and where U.S. Cuba policy fit into that calculus. Remember Governor Romney still got the majority of the Cuban American vote - 52 to 48 for President Obama.Tony Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305818761401974560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227748558915477890.post-28640794277666769392012-11-14T10:31:13.936-05:002012-11-14T10:31:13.936-05:00Now is the time for we Cuban-Americans who favor t...Now is the time for we Cuban-Americans who favor the normalization of relations with the island to get more politically active.
