"Sarah Stephens of the Center for Democracy in the Americas, who said that the first letter could be “a game changer” in convincing members of Congress to vote for the letter, said in an e-mail June 17 that, “Obviously, we believe that ending the travel ban and increasing food sales to Cuba is in America’s interests, and it’s significant that 74 of Cuba’s most prominent dissidents, those who confront Cuba’s reality every day, agree that this is also the right thing to do for the Cuban people.”The e-mail goes on: “What [Rep. Diaz-Balart] and the other defenders of the status quo can’t deny is that our policy has not produced any progress toward democracy or human rights, and it is now time to move things forward by changing the policy, ending the travel ban, selling Cuba more food, and sending more American visitors to Cuba’s streets to meet the hunger of average Cubans for more information and contact.”"
Sarah must think that because sanctions are working with Iran & North Korea, perhaps it's time we trade freely with those two countries as well. Clearly, if she thinks it will help in Cuba, why not Iran?
