2008 Candidates Travel: Ron Paul Talks Cuba, Too

November 14, 2007 at 1:00 PM | 2 Comments

With all the talk about Cuba among the candidates for President, maybe CNN should consider holding a debate at Guantanamo Bay. First Obama talks travel in Miami, then Chris Dodd brought it up. Now almost-a-libertarian candidate Ron Paul, an obstetrician and member of the U.S. House of Representatives from East Texas, has made his pro-friendship Cuba policy the subject of his weekly newsletter.

While Paul is not a front runner--he recently nabbed 5% of the vote and 6th place in a CNN poll of Republican candidates--his campaign has drawn a fair share of attention due to its grassroots Internet efforts and for the $4.2 million he raised in one day last week, breaking Mitt Romney's one-day fundraising record. Paul will be in Cedar Rapids before heading to a college football tailgate in Iowa City, Iowa on Saturday. Next week, he'll take a page from the Democrats and travel Nevada.

    Push Congress to End Cuba Travel Ban

    Ron Paul is one of 120 members of the House (and 24 in the Senate) to cosponsor legislation to end restrictions on travel to Cuba (HR 654, S 721).

    Americans who want to regain the Constitutional right of freedom to travel should make sure their elected reprsentatives are included, and that the Congressional leadership get these bills voted on!
