Rangel Marks Castro's Holiday

July 27, 2011

Sadly, this is not a joke.

U.S. Rep. Charlie Rangel of New York has chosen this July 26th -- the Castro dictatorship's most celebrated revolutionary holiday -- to send the following Congressional Dear Colleague:

After 50 Years, Let's Join Over 100 Countries that Now Have Full Diplomatic Relations with Cuba

From: The Honorable Charles B. Rangel

July 26, 2011

Dear Colleague:

This Congress, I've reintroduced the Promoting American Agricultural and Medical Exports to Cuba Act of 2011 (H.R.1888) to promote and expand upon President Obama's recently modified Cuba policies. I am seeking your support for Export Freedom to Cuba Act (H.R.1886), the Free Trade with Cuba Act (H.R.1887), and the Promoting American Agricultural and Medical Exports to Cuba Act (H.R.1888). They will all contribute to the normalization of relations between our two great countries. All three of these closely related bills are crucial for developing a freer, more open dialogue with the people of Cuba.

Coincidence?
