The travel restrictions that have long separated families are finally being dismantled. This shift in policy proves that steady persistence can move even the most entrenched political positions. We should remain attentive as these changes take hold to ensure they lead to the lasting progress we envisioned.

Dear Senators Obama and McCain, We applaud your pledge, Senator Obama, to permit unrestricted Cuban American family travel and remittances and to hold bilateral negotiations without preconditions. We are dismayed Senator McCain, that your statements on Cuba echo and prolong the counterproductive and anti-family policies of President Bush. We ask each of you to pay less attention to the declining minority of a special interest group in Florida and more to the two-thirds of Americans who favor normal relations with Cuba and freedom of travel. Current US travel policy encourages disrespect for the law and isolates our country. Significant change will be warmly welcomed in our own hemisphere and by traditional allies The US and Cuba should both honor international human rights principles by ending illegitimate restrictions on travel of their own citizens and by providing normal visa entry to the other

Stop the embargo. It hurts normal people and helps nobody. Time to move on and open up the borders.
The Florida political machine is holding the rest of the country hostage. Let us travel!
FREE TRAVEL NOW! enough with the cold war nonsense.
Should have done this years ago. Stop punishing cuban families just because of old grudges.
its been way too long. let families visit each other already. totally ridiculous we still have these outdated rules.

Finally someone said it. US policy toward Cuba is just plain backwards and embarrassing at this point.
