Re: [Marxism] Cuba policy as a U.S. domestic political issue

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Boxer brags about sponsoring S.721, the Freedom to Travel to Cuba act. I'd 
certainly be glad to see this bill passed. However, I must point out, as you 
can 
read here:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-721

that this bill was introduced on March 1, 2007 (by a Republican, by the way, 
Sen. Enzi), and has yet to even have a committee hearing, despite the fact that 
Democrats have been in control of both houses of Congress for the entire time 
between then and now.

I should also point out that there are 24 sponsors (plus the sponsor totals 1/4 
of the Senate). Senator Barack Obama...is not among them.
