Re: SWP policy on Cuba

[Laura Kamienski <tkd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I live in central PA due to personal obligations. It is a VERY difficult
choice for me and one I struggle with daily. After we moved here I tried
to maintain at large membership with the Baltimore branch until it
disbanded. I then tried to relate to Philadelphia but it was too much
and burned out. I believe that the party must consist of the most
dedicated and committed revolutionaries. Since I found it impossible to
reconcile my personal life with that commitment I was compelled to
resign. As I said, I'm not happy about it. Now there is a branch in
Hazleton, about an hour from me, and I'm happy to say that I'm renewing
my commitment. I was so excited to learn about this branch!
