*NOW IS THE TIME to completely end the blockade, the travel ban, and all
the measures aimed at starving the Cuban people into submission and
overthrowing their government.*

*Facts about the Blockade:*
•Cuba is deemed an ‘enemy” under the Trading with the Enemies Act.

•Sales of U.S. products to Cuba are severely restricted, and sales of Cuban
products to the U.S. are absolutely forbidden.

•Banks and businesses in other countries are being harassed even more than
under the Bush administration for doing business with Cuba.

•The U.S. economic blockade has caused the Cuban economy to lose over 750
billion dollars at current values.

•The travel ban on U.S. Citizens visiting Cuba remains in force, with only
small changes.

•Outrageously, Cuba is on the U.S. government’s list of nations that
allegedly sponsors terrorism.

•Tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars continue to go towards programs
and organizations aimed at creating instability in Cuba and ultimately
overthrowing the Cuban government.

•Three of the Cuban Five, political prisoners, are still held in U.S. jails
for trying to protect their people against U.S.- sponsored terrorism
against Cuba.  (for more info see www.thecuban5.org)
•The World Wild Life Fund declared Cuba the only sustainable country on the
planet.

•Every Cuban citizen receives free healthcare as well as free education
through graduate school.

•More than 10,000 students from Africa, Asia and the Americas, including
the U.S., are in Cuba on full scholarship, training to be doctors.
