Ending a Vicious, Cruel and Wicked Law Imposed on Our Families

By Dr. Alberto N. Jones
Senior Political Editor

The bold decision taken by the Miami-Dade County Democratic Executive
Committee in defense of the Cuban American family values is without any
doubt, the most courageous political decision taken in this city since
1959.

The arbitrary and cruel decision of the White House, that pretended to
dismember, redefine our family structure and restrict our visits to
only once every three years, have brutally backfired on the miniscule,
isolated gang of senile, vindictive, ultra-right wing Cuban-Americans,
masterminds and proponents of this monstrosity.

Taken in the belly of the anti-Cuba monster, deserves a massive and
public Thank You, from all of us, defenseless victims of a few sick
minds.

Justice has prevailed with this resolution, but the Spade of Damocles
continues to hang over our heads and the wellbeing our families.

It is imperative, that this first step be followed by more decisive
actions, until this social aberration is wiped out of our society. We
have been bought, sold and duped by all Presidential hopeful in the
past, by dining black beans at a known joint, saying a few words in
Spanish and promising, if elected, our triumphal return to Cuba.

In this new Presidential era, all or most candidates will be coming,
especially to Miami, in search of money and political support. We know
and have identified who are with our families and who are against them!
They must be challenged publicly on this moral issue. No hair
splitting, double talk, sound bites or ambiguity can be accepted from
anyone seeking our support. 

We know where the most evil candidates live and sleep. It will be an
absolute betrayal to our mothers, fathers, sisters and siblings, not to
vote them out of office as we can. We have had enough of the Ros
Lethinen, Diaz Balart, Mel Martinez, Bob Melendez, most of those State
and County elected officials and who they represent, to be fooled once
again.

All of those who rejoiced over the pain and suffering of our families,
all of those who have clamored for the perfect storm to wipe Cuba off
the map, must be remembered when casting our vote. Although it was used
for a macabre purpose, President George W. Bush said it before; you are
with me or with the terrorists. Those named above and many more,
actively terrorized our family with their political and legislative
actions.

History will be taking note of them and us. With this, Joe Garcia has
done more than his rightful share. It is up to each of us, to decide on
what side of history we want to be the day of judgment.
