Check out the signatures below. Some of these men –and women–(jailing women for political “crimes” , by the way, was a Stalinist horror utterly unknown in our Hemisphere until Diane Sawyer’s and Barbara Walter’s, cuddly-bunny burst upon the scene) suffered OVER THREE TIMES as long in the Castro-Che Gulag as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Natan Sharansky suffered in the Soviet Gulag.
But surely you’ll recognize these Cubans’ names from the multitude of History Channel, A&E, NPR, Frontline, etc. etc. etc. interviews with them?????????????????????
“Cuba’s Greatest Generation,” let’s call them.
Entire thing here from our indefatigable friends over at Capitol Hill Cubans
Smackdown Saladrigas?….really?? You say this while you support Cell Phones For Cuba?? Saladrigas is the money behind all of that!! Thats why i was so surprised you put them in your booth at CN and on your website …while the idea might be a good one…still wont believe it till i see how the hell they are going to get cell phones into cuba…we should not support this scumbag in anything he does…Saladrigas is a bad guy who thinks because he has money HE can sway Cuba policey in the dictators favor…DROP CELL PHONES FOR CUBA NOW! THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE RUNNING IT ARE BEING USED AND FOOLED!!
elperrito,
The only reason I support Cell Phones for Cuba is because I have met the person in charge of the project and admire his resolve and determination. I also believe it to be a worthwhile endeavor, despite the fact that some monies for the project may be linked to Saladrigas. The very moment C4C publicly states anything related to the lifting of restrictions or the embargo, I will immediately pull my support.
