Caravan to Cuba
July 2007
5:30-7:30
WONDER WHY GEORGE W. DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CUBAN PEOPLE?
Find out in July! Come meet this years caravan members:
* A cultured people who receive free education at all levels. Who have produced many outstanding scientists, artists, scholars and sports stars. Yet they cannot get access to many basic supplies, because of a 45 year long economic blockade by the U.S. government.
* A healthy people, with free health care, who live on average to age 77 – the same as the same as those in the U.S. – yet some die prematurely and many others suffer unnecessary pain because the blockade denies them access to many of the world’s medicines.
* A proud and humane people who share what they have, including sending tens of thousands of their doctors around the world to provide free health care to others in need. - yet when 1600 Cuban doctors were ready to fly to New Orleans to help out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Bush administration wouldn’t let them in, just like it tries to stop US citizens from visiting Cuba.
