There is a undercover bill being floated during the same exact time as the stimulus package is being pushed through Congress. It is called the Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act which was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on Feb. 4th. The bill was initially brought by Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass. This bill IF passed would also lift limits on travel by Cuban exiles residing in the U.S. Co-sponsors to the bill include representatives Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., Sam Farr, D-Calif., and Ron Paul, R- Texas. No idea if this will pass or not - but stay tuned we will continue to cover the story! I would imagine if it did pass the Cuban embargo on exports couldn't be far behind.

One person who was a big advocate of bills very similar to this was Congressman Christopher Shays R-Conn. This would have been a bill he would have very enthusiastic about. Unfortunately, after 21 years of excellent bi-partisan leadership he was voted out of office, losing only 4 towns in the district, substantially carried by "first time" voters... Shame
