Yesterday, President Obama announced that he’s moving to restore full diplomatic relations with Cuba and to ease the half-century U.S. embargo on Cuba. President Obama urged Congress to end the embargo completely, calling the embargo a failure.
Not surprisingly, Republicans like Senator Marco Rubio attacked the President’s diplomatic initiative. That’s why we’re pushing back, urging Americans to contact Congress in support of President Obama’s call to end the embargo. You can a our MoveOn petition to Congress here:

Republicans like Rubio got a lot of media play for their criticism of the President’s move. But Rubio doesn’t speak for all Republicans. Many Republicans support getting rid of the embargo – that’s a key reason that this is a winnable fight.
I documented Republican support for ending the embargo in a piece just published at Truthout. You can read and share that here:
