The Clinton - Gore record on Cuba speaks for itself

 

In 1994 over 30,000 rafters set out to cross the Florida Straits. Rafters were intercepted by the US  where they were mistreated and kept in limbo at Guantanamo.
On July 13, 1994, 41 men, women and children were murdered by the Cuban government for attempting to leave Cuba aboard the tugboat “13 de Marzo”.  Even though the savage aspect of this event was known, the Clinton administration actively sought a migration agreement with the Castro regime.
Throughout the last 8 years Clinton-Gore have continued to state that there have been no changes in policies toward Cuba.
Four men, which included 3 U.S. citizens, were murdered by Castro.   U.S. interceptors were not deployed to deter MiGs in international waters, in breach of standard operating procedure related to the "trigger line".
Cuba vs Orioles : People to people contact the Castro way. Another example of the  Clinton-Gore agenda to normalize relations with Cuba. This was one of the  events which caused pain and anger in the exile community.
The result of the 1994 immigration accords with Cuba : Inhumane treatment towards Cubans fleeing Castro's tyranny.   These policies have failed as an increasing number of rafters continue to flee Cuba.
Under the table negotiations in the Elián case. The Clinton-Gore administration puts Castro's interest before the Constitutional rights of  US citizens.
Brain washing in the U.S.  Elián wears a neckerchief that is part of the uniform for the Pioneers, the youth communist league. In contrast to the principles on which the US was found,  communism indoctrination takes place on U.S. soil.
All of these events  confirm that the Clinton-Gore  administration has spent the last 8 years collaborating with Castro.  In an insensitive act, Clinton becomes the first US President to shake the bloody hand of Castro.

The United States needs a President that will not cater or bow down to the threats of a Communist regime. Use the power of your vote and elect George W. Bush as our next President. 

For the first time, a political party includes support for the internal opposition against Castro in its' platform.

``In Cuba, Fidel Castro continues to impose communist economic controls and absolute political repression of 11 million Cubans. His regime harasses and jails dissidents, restricts economic activity, and forces Cubans into the sea in a desperate bid for freedom. He gives refuge to fugitives from American justice, hosts a sophisticated Russian espionage facility that intercepts U.S. government and private communications, and has ordered his air force to shoot down two unarmed U.S. civilian airplanes thereby killing American citizens.

``U.S. policy toward Cuba should be based upon sound, clear principles. Our economic and political relations will change when the Cuban regime frees all prisoners of conscience, legalizes peaceful protest, allows opposition political activity, permits free expression and commits to democratic elections. This policy will be strengthened by active American support for Cuban dissidents. Under no circumstances should Republicans support any subsidy of Castro's Cuba or any other terrorist state.

``Republicans also support a continued effort to promote freedom and democracy by communicating objective and uncensored news and information to the Cuban people via U.S. broadcasts to the captive island. Finally, Republicans believe that the United States should adhere to the principles established by the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act, which recognizes the rights of Cuban refugees fleeing communist tyranny.''
