If only our<br>
government's intervention was as benign as ours.<br>
But I think caution warranted so I<br>
will inquire more of NV and while I would put my own name to<br>
it, I am heeding the counsel of my colleagues and change my<br>
vote to <br>
Abstain<br>
Until I see if there is more<br>
information to commit the organization's voice to<br>
it.<br>

If, in fact, I can verify<br>
this information, I am mostly in agreement with asking the<br>
US government to apply political pressure. My concern on<br>
that measure has to do with who is running the US<br>
government.<br>

As I alluded to before this email ballot came out,<br>
I am having difficulty with this. According to this<br>
motion, they were targeted for their activism, and are<br>
unjustly detained. I suspect this is true, but I need to<br>
see evidence of this before I can endorse this party making<br>
such accusations against a foreign nation. While nations<br>
often unjust detain people, it is also true that<br>
libertarians can, sometimes, commit crimes. As of this<br>
moment, I do not even know what charges, if any, have been<br>
presented, so it is hard for me to say that these charges<br>
are false or trumped up. <br>
I previously asked for more<br>
information, and Mr. O'Toole (thank you) forwarded a<br>
blog post from Mises. I have nothing against Mises, and I<br>
have respect for the Institute, I spent many summers there,<br>
and the Institute supported me through some difficult times.<br>
(Full disclosure: I do strongly disagree with the<br>
political tact that many associated with Mises have chosen.)<br>
But a blog post from them simply isn't the kind of<br>
information I am seeking. Do we know of any sources that<br>
can verify that they are being held for their<br>
activism?<br>

Motion: The Libertarian National<br>
Committee condemns the unjust detention of libertarian<br>

agents of the Castro regime in Cuba on February 2, and<br>
demands the immediate safe release of these political<br>

ask the U.S. government's State Department to place<br>
diplomatic pressure on the Castro regime for their release,<br>

contact their elected officials toward that end.<br>
