Comments on: More on Cuba and The Current State of It’s Travel Industry http://www.passionsofazealot.com/2009/02/13/more-on-cuba-and-the-current-state-of-its-travel-industry/ by Andrew Calvo Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Joe Simiriglio Jr http://www.passionsofazealot.com/2009/02/13/more-on-cuba-and-the-current-state-of-its-travel-industry/comment-page-1/#comment-1076 Joe Simiriglio Jr Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:33:07 +0000 http://www.passionsofazealot.com/?p=524#comment-1076 I believe by the US government lifting the EMBARGO 100%, will bring democracy by osmosis. The way I see it, its the Cuban elite who were kicked out by Castro, and who lost their illegal wealth to him, and the US governments antiquated policies that still thrive today that keep Cuba closed to American citizens. The restriction of travel in my opinion is wrong and may be illegal in relationship to our Bill of Rights, I am not 100% sure, I am not a lawyer, just an older guy trying to make a living. I make baseball bats, I would like to sell them to Cuban baseball players and enjoy the quality baseball that is Cuba and of course, I hear the beaches are super. The bill being passed in Congress is not for everyone, its for Cuban-Americans, limits how much they can spend in US Dollars(a joke) and limits their stay in Cuba, (What a farst). The politicians in Washington need to wake up and not allow a group of Cuban elitist, most of whom have passed on, continue to deny tax paying American citizens the right to travel to any destination they choose, especially Cuba.

Is this something that the President should move on quickly as part of his Stimulus Plan? I would see a flux of both development and tourism dollars infused into the US Sector. Andrew,
