The path is clear; we don’t seem to want to take it

{short snip}

Our message: “Your actions on Cuba policy, Mr. or Mrs. Congressperson, are responsible for the loss of 40,000 new jobs in Miami-Dade County, and about a billion dollars a year to our local economy.”

Then you hit him or her with the kicker: “Change or we’ll ask our new voters to punish you at the polls.”

So let me finish by stating that the results are in. And it seems that the roadblock to success is staring us in the face.

The choice is ours. Voter engagement is very hard work, I know, I’ve done it. Or we can always continue doing what we’ve been doing, and expect the same results.

The evidence has been placed in front of the eyes of the world, and it's time to move on Cuba policy.

The US's constant demands and denunciations of Cuba (which continue to this day, and will under a Hillary Clinton admin) is unacceptable IF we are going to call it "ending the sanctions" - which the US isn't.
In my opinion, the US will fully normalize with Cuba ONLY under the US's dictate, which Cuba rightfully shouldn't accept.

It's time to get that boot off Cuba's neck, starting decades ago.
