952	Babette	Grunow			WI		the restrictions are an outdated policy that hurts no one but the people of Cuba and makes the US seem out of sync with the rest of the world, End the embargo and allow families to send remittances and aid groups to send humanitarian aid.

958	Inez	Folsom	Wellness Coordinator		MA		I believe in connectedness and negotiation. Isolating Cuba is wrong. Making it more difficult for family and cultural exchange groups to visit Cuba is wrong. I have made 2 trips to Cuba (since 2000) as part of a cultural exchange group. Our mission is to build bridges. We want to go again this year. It seems inconsistent and hypocritical to me to maintain relations with other countries, as we do, that have governments that are not only not democratic but also are even committing atrocities against their people.
959	ray	martinez	consultnat	independent	CA		While you keep advocating "cash for trash" to bail out your friends on Wall street, your hypocrisy and double standards can not be more obvious by refusing HUMANITARIAN aid to the people of Cuba. The world is beginning to see thru the media blockade on TRUE info regarding the embargo on Cuba. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

961	moris	gonzalez			TX		If we have relations with nations such as China, UAE, Vietnam why not Cuba.
962	Adela	Brent	Counsellor		AU	As most people know, this economic blockade against Cuba is illegal and immoral. Cuba has helped so many people in the world whe they are in need. They have the right to be helped as well.

993	Judi	Lynn			KS		The travel to Cuba ban is shameful, unforgiveable, and a deep insult to U.S. citizens. There are far more citizens in the United States to acknowledge and respect beyond the Cuban American "exile" lobby in South Florida. Please realize Americans do NOT want this small political faction dictating their own freedom to travel.

996	Ruth	Hooke	retired	Episcopal Peace Fellowship	MA	US	This temporary lifting of the embargo is critical at this time; a permanent lifting is also needed as soon as possible.
