Barack Obama is for easing two important restrictions on human relations between the United States and Cuba. In an op-ed essay in Tuesday's Miami Herald, the Illinois senator wrote that he would grant "unrestricted rights" to Cuban Americans to visit relatives in Cuba and send remittances.
The Herald also published a news story on Obama's position, noting that he is the only one of the top contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination to opt to ease these restrictions. Hoever, Sen. Chris Dodd is on record, as a commenter reports in this blog's previous post on Cuba policy. The Herald has relegated Dodd to the also-rans, though on this issue he's running ahead of the pack and favors abolishing all restrictions on travel to Cuba.
Only four days until Obama will be in Miami for our fund-raiser Saturday afternoon. Do you have your tickets?
