Help U.S. Farmers and Cuban People.

It's Time to End the Embargo

Ø Since December 2001, Cuba has bought or contracted to buy more than $250 million in U.S. food purchases.

Ø Cuba could buy as much as $1.24 billion worth of U.S. food products if restrictions on private U.S. financing of ag sales were lifted.

Ø Unrestricted travel to Cuba would increase the amount of Cuban resources available for purchasing U.S. agricultural products and increase demand in Cuba for American food products.

Ø For over 40 years, the embargo has failed to bring change to Cuba. A policy of engagement would do more to help the Cuban people.

If you are in favor of ending the

U.S. trade and travel embargo against Cuba:

Ø Write or call your members of Congress and tell them to fight for your right to trade with and travel to Cuba freely.

Visit http://www.house.gov. See http://www.senate.gov to find contact information for your Senators, or call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak to your Member’s office.

Ø Visit www.CubaCentral.com to join 8,000 Americans in signing a petition to President Bush expressing your support for an end to the embargo.

Ø Talk to your state Farm Bureau office about trade opportunities and how you can help increase engagement between your state and Cuba.
