We are so proud of our fellow Cuban-Americans right now!
One of the most prominent Cuban-American organizations in the United States, the Cuban American National Foundation, has just endorsed Barack Obama for President!
That's huge news! Especially considering that they are known for being adamantly Republican.
The CABF's chariman, Jorge Mas Santos, has just written an article, titled How to Win the Cuban American Vote which was also published in The Washington Post, where he emphasized that the better choice for President would be Obama.
Santos says, "The overwhelming majority of Cuban Americans expect the next president to abandon today's failed "wait and hope" policy and adopt a policy of support and engagement directed toward opening new avenues of freedom for the Cuban people as well as enhancing stability in the United States."
But the best part is when Santos says, "Both presidential candidates have made clear that they want to help the Cuban people achieve freedom. But Barack Obama’s forward-looking and proactive approach toward empowering the Cuban people is more in line with these proposals than John McCain’s vow to continue the Bush administration’s policy."
And there you have it.
This is a great indicator that even people who consider themselves solely Republican can still make the right choice and vote for the best candidate.
Just because you're part of a party, doesn't mean you need to vote for that person, especially if they're the wrong choice.
Let's hope the next president brings about some good change for the future.
