Support Cuban Bloggers

Many people want to do something to help the bloggers directly. The most important thing is to read them, talk about them, comment on their blogs, share their blogs with others,

keep them IN THE PUBLIC EYE, 

which is a shield that helps to 
protect them.

If you want to help with a donation, one way to do that, from the comfort of your home, is to 
put money in their cell phone accounts.
This allows them to KEEP communicating, Twittering, making and accepting calls and text messages within Cuba and overseas. info

SHRIMP DOCKS KITTY RESCUE PROJECT

Hello,
My name is Christina and I am a law enforcement officer in Tampa Florida. Several months ago I discovered a colony of over forty cats and small kittens in an area where I work. I learned that some people feed the cats when they are around but that is not constant because they are fisherman on shrimp boats. Although their intentions are noble, I have never seen fresh water put out for the cats so they drink out of rain puddles in the parking lot when available. As a result, everyone is dehydrated and almost all suffer from some sort of cold or upper respiratory infection. I am seeking assistance of any kind to help me with food and other necessities to carry this out. Most will need veterinarian treatment as well. Anything will help and I thank you for taking the time to listen to their story!

Jon Rector: Put Christ back in Christian

The GOP (Government of the People) 

is anything but "...of the People." 

And, this so-called Christian nation of ours that the right-wingers thump their holy book of fables about is anything but Christian. Now there is some serious hypocrisy for you.

Now, a little holiday cheer. I saw this on-line the other day: Instead of putting Christ back in Christmas, how about putting Christ back in Christian?

MARCO RUBIO IS A HYPOCRITE

Hypocrisy is nothing new to Florida’s Junior Senator.  Time and again we have seen he has contradicted himself on one issue after another. Rubio knows little about foreign policy yet consistently sounds off on the subject.

We celebrate the release of the Cuban 5

political prisoners held by the U.S. government for 16 years. Their freedom also marks a positive change in relations between the U.S. government and Cuba. 

The Cuban Five are heroes who came to the U.S. 

to stop terrorist attacks against their country. 

By secretly joining the most reactionary groups in Florida, 

the Cuban Five put their lives at risk in order to stop attacks on Cuba and its socialist system. Freedom for the Cuban Five and the plans to normalize relations with Cuba announced by President Obama are to be applauded. 

Thank you again President Obama here
