Here is our next important task! > >As the House Agriculture Approrpiations legislation (affecting the sale >of food and medicine to Cuba) makes it way toward consideration on the >House floor, it must now go through the Rules Committee, likely >Wednesday this week. There are several issues/obstacles in this >committee. The Agriculture Appropriations bill, including the >Nethercutt provision allowing for the sale of food and medicine to Cuba, >could reach the House floor this Friday, May 19, or early next week. > >ACTION: Without going into the complicated list of alternatives that >opponents to this legislation could choose, there is a simple message >that we're asking you to urgently convey to your Representative and any >additional Representatives with whom you may have influence: > >1) Support the Nethercutt language on unilateral food and medicine >sanctions in the House Agriculture Appropriations bill. > >2) Oppose all efforts to weaken the food and medicine sanctions >language. > >3) Oppose a Cuba "carve-out." Ensure that the Cuban people remain >beneficiaries of this measure. > >Please call, e-mail, fax your Representative early this week with the >above message. We have seen that constituent pressure does make a >difference in the votes of our Representatives. Please keep the >pressure on! This is a critical week. > >Sincerely, > >Mavis Anderson >Latin America Working Group > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Best friends, most artistic, class clown Find 'em here: >http://click.egroups.com/1/4054/0/_/30563/_/958417349/ >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >Cuba SI - Imperialism NO! >Information and discussion about Cuba. >Socialism or death!
