DAMN!!!

If the Czechs can do this, why can't we get a coordinated national effort amongst all the support groups in the USA to start an awareness campaign here in the USA.

Select key USA cities and with key landmarks, on a set date, with the identical set up as the Czechs have done.

GREAT idea!

It is beyond sad, not to say deeply shameful, that the Czechs would do this sort of thing but Spain, Cuba's "mother," has behaved and continues behaving like a heartless bitch when it comes right down to it. All my ancestry, as far as I know, is Spanish, but it makes me sick.

Maybe we should do the same thing but protest at a MSM building demanding why they do not cover the story in more detail or at all. We can set up a jail cell and maybe blow up pics of the liberal reporters and write guilty under their faces.

Just might get some national news coverage especially if CNN is protested. Any comments?????

Guajiro that is a great idea. We can do it in front of the Miami Herald to make sure at least they cover it!

I knew there was a reason I've always wanted to visit Prague. This is a moving protest by people half a world away. Cuban-American should be applauding the efforts.

Not to turn this into a right-left argument, but why don't we see the public outcry for imprisoned dissidents that we see for those that have been captured and put into Gitmo?

Doing this in Miami, even in front of the Herald building, wouldn't be that big of a news story. It would be more of "there go those crazy Cuban spics again" than it would be "wow, they have a point".

I've thought maybe we should take a page out of the major advertising agency in our backyard and run what would amount to a guerilla marketing campaign to raise awareness about the issue. Maybe set up a website and print up some visually captivating stickers that could be placed all over the country. If nothing else, Cubans have done a good job of placing themselves in every major (and a lot of minor) cities across the US.

Maybe it's time to crack open Photoshop.

The Czechs are unrelenting. They keep pushing for a common position at the EU thats is more in line with the US'position as do the other Eastern European countries that were once in the Warsaw pact. And the Zapatero gov't continues to push the other way. Don't forget Cuba has now been in a communist dictatorship for aprox 3 years more than those European countries had to endure communism. The regime is very afraid that the EU is going to turn on them.

Me gusto mucho lo de hacer fake carceles en varias ciudades de EEUU y en PR . I remember we did one here in front of the Baseball stadium for the World Baseball Cup....we should have permanent jails so that people can go in and out as long as they want...Also se pudiera cobrar a simbolic fee ( donation) for entering and utilize that money for LAS DAMAS DE BLANCO Y SUS ESPOSOS... thats the group right now that deserves our most attention ..

How long will any of you last inside one of those simbolic jails?

My hat is off to the Czechs, and a big thank you.
Their attitude towards the Castro regime reminds me of something I read about Alexander Solzhenitsyn on his book “A warning to the West”. If I remember correctly he said: only those who have experienced and lived under Communism understand the nature of the evil it represents. This in my opinion says it all. The Czechs know very well the nature of the system having lived under it since 1948 t until they were free again. The Poles too have shown solidarity with the Cuban people for the same reason. Right now the Czechs are a thorn on the side of the Castro regime because they have tried to rally the European community and made them aware of their position of complacency and ignoring the plight of the Cuban people. As for the Spanish Govt. I would not expect much from them in the way of criticizing Castro. Rather they are his accomplice in many ways. Besides with Zapatero as their president one cannot expect much criticism of Castro. In fact they are so fond of him that Mr. Moratinos is not even meeting with any dissidents during his upcoming trip to Cuba. He simply refuses to rock the boat because Mr. Castro may retaliate against his business deals in Cuba. And their anti-Americanism is such that they refuse to see their nose in front of their eyes. But then what do you expect from those who are trying to rewrite the history of Spain for the last 60 years to suit their ideology and are in bed with the Islamic world and the terrorists of ETA? Not much I guess.

One of the biggest problems with mobilizing first generation Cuban Americans is that they are too comfortable. The Czech's still have firsthand recollection of what they suffered. Some not all, first generation Cuban Americans will be hard to mobilize as its is oftentimes a romantic if you will memory of stories passed down. The rpoblem with that is that if they don't fight for it from over here they will soneday be fighting it over here.
