Dear Rep. Wasserman Schultz

The Cuban political dissidents were not forcibly deported and they have NOT been banished from their homeland. Please stop listening to South Florida Cuban-American hardliners who are intentionally misrepresenting the facts daily in a desperate attempt to advance their political agenda. Get the facts, madam, before you misrepresent them yourself. Your colleagues, constituents and the Cuban dissidents themselves deserve nothing less.

In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger.”
