1. We do not wish to comply with an unjust law. Instead we wish to have the
laws that enforce the embargo on Cuba repealed.

2. Most Americans wish to see the embargo ended (85% according to a recent
poll). Yet these people are unaware that legislative attempts to overturn the
laws against sending food and medicine to Cuba have been thwarted by the
Miami exiles. We would like to draw attention to this situation and bring
citizen pressure to repeal these unjust laws.

3. Charitable donations are an act of friendship and generosity. But a
country cannot run a modern medical system on donations alone. Cuba needs to
be able to purchase medicine and medical supplies.

4. U.S. licensing of shipments to Cuba is granted at the pleasure of the U.S.
Customs office. There is no guarantee that any shipment will be approved.
Shipments to Cuban government agencies are often denied. Yet it is the Cuban
government that has enabled the country to have such exceptional health
indicators, and it should be noted that most Cubans are supportive of their
government.

5. The United States requires licensing of shipments only to "enemy" or
"terrorist" states, for example, Iraq, No. Korea, and Cuba. Cuba has been
declared by the Pentagon not to constitute a military threat. There is no
national security justification for this policy; it is simply mean-spirited.

Let Cuba Live seeks to end the U.S. embargo of Cuba by working with Congress,
educating our fellow citizens, and using civil disobedience if necessary.
Forty years of this embargo is long enough. The current Administration
appears prepared to prolong it further.
