To: President Donald Trump and The United States House of Representatives
Lift Cuban Embargo
President Obama, and members of Congress,
We urge you to Lift the Embargo against the Republic of Cuba, when it expires on September 14. The terrible 'Cold War' is over, and no longer does Cuba pose any threat to the United States, militarily or otherwise. Therefore, it's cruel, and totally uneccessary to continue to starve this nation out. Just because their government is not democratically elected does not give us the right to 'play god' and force the citizens of Cuba to accept a horribly impoverished lifestyle. This 50 + year policy of folly and shame must stop!

Why is this important?
We need to put pressure on the President, and congress, to lift the Embargo on Cuba, and begin to treat Cuba as a normal nation-state. The 'Cold War' is over, there is no threat to the United States from Cuba, nor are they a part of any anti-american movement. Yet, we continue to force their citizens to live in abject poverty, without any mandate from the United Nations, or any other international force, giving us the authority to do so. I have learned much about the Cuban society, through friends who have traveled there, and they have made many valueable contributions to art, music and literature, not to mention american professional athletics, despite the horrible state of affairs there, for which our embargo is chiefly to blame. The embargo expires in September of this year. We must act NOW, to ensure that the President hears our voice on this matter at the right time!
