Letter to NoCastro.com

I am not a Cuban and I cannot even begin to believe that I can understand the tragedies that the Cuban people suffer, I am an American, but ... I believe I can feel the despair and longing that they feel.

From the first I have had the "gut feeling" that Elian should be allowed to stay here in the United States.  His mother died bringing him to this country and I know that in her heart she realized the dangers of the trip, but she wanted a chance for her son.

I have spent most of the day today reading the articles here on your website... and I will admit, I have cried most of the day.  My heart goes out to these strong willed, brave people.  And my wish is that in someway I could help.

My prayers are with them all... and with Elian... and if our government is what it is proposed to be... built on the strong foundation that our forefathers gave their lives to build... then I do not see how anyone in their right minds could send an innocent child back into the hands of that criminally sick man.

My prayers tonight and everynight until he is allowed to live "free" will be for Elian and the others.
