Quite the contrary. No one is advocating trade sanctions on Cuba or sending the Marines to Havana. Instead the LP would be calling international attention to a human rights violation. There is very little we can physically do for Herrera and Velazquez—even Edward Snowden is still a refugee—but we can at least ensure that neither these libertarians nor Mises Cuba are abandoned."</i></div></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I couldn't agree more, and hope we will do the right thing for them.</div><div><br></div><div>Love & Liberty,</div><div> ((( starchild )))</div><div>At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee</div><div> (415) 625-FREE</div><div> @StarchildSF</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>On Feb 23, 2017, at 1:36 AM, Zach Foster wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Hi all.
