Pres.-elect Obama has promised to rollback the draconian restrictions imposed by Pres. Bush on travel and sending money to Cuba.
Context of the story:
Why is this important? The US has had a unilateral embargo against Cuba for 46 years. It has not ended Communism in Cuba and most of the world opposes the embargo.
Who is involved? The US government and the Cuban government.
Where is this happening? The changes would happen in Washington, but would largely affect Cuba–an island nation only 90 miles south of Florida.
What can you do? Encourage your elected representatives to end the embargo against Cuba. Learn Spanish. Participate in cultural, educational, and scientific exchanges with Cuba.
