As long as travel ban to Cuba is enforced, Americans aren't free

In September, the U.S. House voted 227-188 to bar the Treasury Department from enforcing the travel ban. The Senate followed this lead by a vote of 59-36.
   The provision to essentially lift the travel restriction was included as an amendment to a transportation spending bill. Because the House and Senate approved the same amendment, it was considered safe when a conference committee began reconciling differences in the two versions of the overall bill.
   But, as often happens, election-year politics have a way of making exceptions to the rules. Despite its bipartisan support in Congress, the amendment was quietly stripped from the bill by White House allies.

While American troops fight for freedom abroad, it is shameful to watch our national leaders continue restricting it at home.
