Take one minute of your day…
...and email the Congressional Black Caucus about their trip to Cuba.
From reader caballero de paris, here's a great sample letter:
To the Members of the Congressional Black Caucus,
I am writing to ask that you make time during your trip to Cuba next week, to actively seek out the opinions and ideas of Cuba’s growing dissident movement. For fifty years the Castro regime has systematically denied its citizens their most basic human rights as guaranteed under the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Cubans do not have access to a free press, may not assemble without fear of government persecution, may not establish independent political parties, and cannot travel abroad without the express permission of the Cuban government. Many of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus are veterans of our own country’s Civil Rights struggles and know, perhaps better than most, how a free press, the ability to assemble publicly and the ability to speak freely are critical to the full exercise of our rights as human beings. I encourage you to actively seek out and make common cause with the brave men and women who struggle every day to create a truly free Cuba. As visiting representatives of the American people, you have a unique opportunity to ask to speak with people such as Yoani Sánchez, Oscar Elias Biscet, Oswaldo Paya, and Jorge Luis Garcia Pérez and to hear from them the often stark truth of daily life in Cuba.
Thank you.
Email the Caucus right here:

This is my letter to the CBC:
Dear CBC,
I am glad to see that you have found the time visit a nation that is most closely aligned with your core beliefs. Seeing as that there is a dearth of black leadership and that you are so attuned to the principles of the Castro regime I think that you would be doing our nation a great service and just staying there. Cuba will have black government leaders (for once) and the collective economic IQ of the Congress would sky-rocket.
No Happy Returns,
theCardinal
Dear Black Congressional Caucus member...while in Cuba, be sure to do two things:
1. Visit Cuba's Black History Museum.
2. Meet with all high-ranking members of Castro's government.
Cardinal, I love your suggestion and your comment that Cuba will have black government leaders for once.
Your whole comment is great.
so nice to get love from a Babalu regular...
Don't forget to Include pics of Elias Bicet and Antunez, these democraps might not believe they are blacks.
Cardinal,
The problem is that the CBC members that are going to Cuba will wipe their asses with your letter.
At the end you'll hear nothing but their love fest for the Castro regime.
Remember this is what they’re going to talk about it:
1. There is no more discrimination in Cuba today (as they didn't know that the guy Castro overthrew was a mulato, who cares, history is written by the winners).
Before Castro Cuba was nothing but a cesspool of discrimination, please.
2. There is no illiteracy in Cuba, but children are brainwashed into Marxism from early on in school life, that’s not mentioned at all.
3. The great healthcare system (bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, substandard doctors, no medicines and horrible facilities for the Cuban nationals).
When my uncle was about to die in 2004 there was no ambulance to take him to a hospital and my cousin had to dish out $60 USD for taxi transportation to the hospital to take him to die.
Trust me the end all we'll hear will be the usual BULLSHIT statement praising the Castro government and attacking the unjust American embargo on the Cuban people (no mention of the Castro brothers embargo on the Cuban people liberties and human rights for the last fifty years) coming from the CBC as they are a bunch of lefties and hypocrites.
You’ll never hear from them no even the slither hint of condemnation about the human right conditions in Cuba.
I’m not trying to hurt your feelings but I hope that you understand this painful fact.
For me I would not waste any of my time sending them a letter, as I know that at the end of the day they’re all a bunch of commie supporters and apologist for the Havana regime.
Long ago I lost faith on the black leaders of this country that walked along Martin Luther King in the day, as not a single one of them has stood-up to speak-up in behalf of the human rights conditions in Cuba for the last fifty years.
As far as I’m concerned they showed their colors a long time ago and they’re nothing but a bunch of lefties hypocrites for which I don’t have an ounce of respect.
I have a painful feeling that if Dr. King was still alive today he would have been just like them full of praise for the Castro brothers and their government.
