We further ask that the Cuban government for their immediate release should such information and assurances not be forthcoming. We encourage Libertarian Party members and supporters to contact their elected officials toward that end, and further ask that the IALP join us in applying diplomatic pressure for the Castro regime to release information related to their detention and call upon the national and international media to join us in these efforts.</b><u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183455"><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183457"><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183395"><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span><br clear="all"><u></u><u></u></span></p><div><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span>-- <u></u><u></u></span></p><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183394"><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183393"><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183392"><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183391"><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183390"><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183389"><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183388"><div><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt">In Liberty,</span></b><span><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div id="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809m_8664890279895014596m_-2226310759678224948m_-8755001683416024946yui_3_16_0_1_1488007345784_183405"><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Caryn Ann Harlos</span></b><span><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="m_-7069575409931489586yiv8584374809MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:7.5pt">Region 1 Representative, Libertarian National Committee </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt">(Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:Caryn.Ann.Harlos@LP.org" target="_blank">Caryn.Ann.
