Since them I have visited Cuba four times on a Religious visa with the Presbyterian Church (USA). I fully support the statements and requests outlined in the letter to President Biden regarding prioritizing the well being of the Cuban people.

Conditions are not good and mainly due to the lack of remittances and virtually no possibility of Cubans attaining VISAS to travel to the US without visiting another country like Guyana. The US needs to open the US Embassy in Cuba and normalize activity. This is the biggest travesty of all.<br />Ele Espinosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082757237911946549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804646918595691520.post-77743775800758338342021-11-15T10:19:52.827-08:002021-11-15T10:19:52.827-08:00The Obama administration opened tourism channels, ...The Obama administration opened tourism channels, and Cuban people upgraded their house into BNBs or paradors, family based restaurants. They invested their meager savings to do so. Then Trump shut down American tours to Cuba, and Covid did even more. These people are hurting: limited food and medical supplies, enormous debt, and no way to pay it. If we can supply humanitarian aid to Gaza and Afghanistan, we should do so for Cuba.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483581420426545385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804646918595691520.post-3020099309114076692021-11-15T08:41:11.772-08:002021-11-15T08:41:11.772-08:00Please allow us in the US to help our families in ...Please allow us in the US to help our families in Cuba.<br />During the Obama administration, The private sector in Cuba thrived,, the private sector grew by 87% ,, The Cuban gov. reacted by expanding licenses for private buss, <br /><br />Our families are suffering Not from a communist gov, but because of these cruel sanctions..<br />We are the only people living in the greatest nation in the world, where our own government does not allow us to send our families, much needed food and medicine..<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445886513622388018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804646918595691520.post-35596150776515765342021-11-15T07:36:39.000-08:002021-11-15T07:36:39.000-08:00President Biden and Rep.

The Cuban people are in need of additional resources, not more sanctions. You will build more good will and change faster if you stop the draconian restrictions that are currently in place.<br /><br />I am ashamed as a US citizen AND someone who voted for your, President Biden, to know you are continuing to follow the destructive policies implemented by the Trump Administration. Instead of following the lead of President Obama (when you were VP). You should know better than anyone that this is not the way forward to sway the improvement toward democracy in Cuba.<br /><br />Lift the travel ban.<br />Lift the restrictions on hotels.<br />Lift the ban on family remitances.<br />Please enact Democrat values and stop following in the footsteps of Trump.<br /><br />Jacqueline Pokorney<br />Saint Paul, MNJacqueline Pokorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555759999757099972noreply@blogger.com
