Honey,

Congratulations! It's precisely the type of initiative, of grassroots proactivism that you showed that makes a difference!

I went to a tea party. Then I read this. How real this is. We don't need someone to direct us. We need the ability to produce for ourselves. So our country chooses to go the way of the failures of Castro. Insanity.
My tea party was in Sarasota, Florida. This was an all white, homogeneous group of patriotic
American taxpayers.

People were getting up to speak so I asked if I could. They applauded and cheered much of what I had to say. I gave a simple, predictable five minute speech, but the thing I want to share with babaluers is this. When I got to my rant against communism, I said I don't want the embargo lifted from Cuba because I don't think we should be giving aid to tyrants, I think we should be starving them out. I was pleasantly surprised that they cheered loudly and long at this. Isn't it terrific that they got it?

Ziva,

Thanks for sharing this wonderful and revealing letter with all of us. Tragically, her letter won't find itself in the opinion pages of any major newspaper which is where it belongs. Instead, we will continue reading the opinions of the likes of the Congressional Black Caucus that recently came back from Cuba.

Beautifully expressed. Our God is a God of liberty.

Unfortunately, this current rash of leaders fears a free citizenry.

The homeland security report served notice that all decent citizens are the enemy.

The homeland security report reads like a hit list.

What else would one expect from the chicago mob which put kennedy in office? Wasn't he the boy-warrior who left the brave men of Brigada 2506 to die on the beach, as US Naval officers and sailors wept with rage, watching the carnage from sea, their hands tied by boy-warrior and his 'internationalist' pals?

Great post Ziva. Someone should hand Obama this letter after he gets thru having a great time with his ideological 'buddies' like Chavez, Ortega and the other scumbags at the Summit. He should read it after he finishes laughing off the insults against the US and after he finishes apologizing for being who we are - just like he did in Europe. He should read it after he finishes saying we need a 'new beginning' in relations with Cuba, as he gives thought to policies that simply strengthen that monster rather than bring about freedom. Then we should shove it down his throat the way the CDR thugs did it to the dissident poet a few years ago. God, when will they ever get the message!

[...] the U.S. - it is as clear as a spring sunny day, our laws provide a clear road map. There are people on the island who would agree with this approach, even if it means risking their lives making such a view [...]
