- Let us not give
Castro the resources he needs to continue his regime's 56-year reign
of terror on his own people, and his continued support for terrorists
and terrorist states.
- To enrich and
solidify that dictatorship at this time only prevents the Cuban people
from being able to forge a better life through elections in a few
years, now that they are finally "on the one-yard line,"
when the Castro brothers, now in their eighties, could simply be left
to their natural, un-bankrolled, ends. In a dictatorship such as this,
only the dictators benefit.

As Sonia Alvarez Campillo was leaving Catholic Mass on July 14, 2013
with fellow members of Ladies in White, her pro-democracy organization, she
was assaulted by Raul Castro's agents.
These "security" agents broke Alvarez Campillo's wrist as
well as her husband's ribs in their attack on her and other members of her
group.
Sunday after Sunday in Cuba, the Ladies in White (Damas de Blanco) --
members of a movement started in 2003 by wives and other female relatives
of jailed dissidents in Cuba -- have peacefully demonstrated for freedom
and human rights in cities across Cuba. They have continually been
harassed, beaten, and imprisoned in Raul Castro's Cuba.
In an attack just two months ago, Lady in White member Digna Rodriquez
Ibañez was pelted with tar by agents of the regime.
