Relations with Cuba should never be normalized until all of the convicted cop killers and other low lifes living there as political exiles are extradited back to the USA. MY Father, a retired NJ State Trooper, had one of his fellow Troopers (Werner FORESTER) murdered in cold blood back in the 70s. Joanne CHESIMARD, who was convicted of the murder, escaped from prison and is living under the name Assata SHAKUR in Cuba as a revolutionary celebrity. Maxine WATERS is one of her backers. After reading what just happened in Staten Island and this article, it reminded me that the scumbag CHESIMARD was still living free and Cuba is still our enemy.

U.S. lawmakers request public meeting in Cuba*** HAVANA - (AP) -- Eight American lawmakers working to change U.S. policies toward Cuba said Monday they will ask the communist government to let as many as 25 U.S. Congress members hold a public meeting with the Cuban people later this year. ''It would be a demonstration of American democracy,'' said U.S. Congressman William Delahunt, a Democrat.

Ideally, Delahunt said, the gathering -- commonly known in the United States as a ''town hall'' meeting -- would be broadcast live on Cuban television and radio across the island, just as former President Jimmy Carter's speech to the Cuban people was aired live last year. ''It is time to forget the rancor, the bitterness of the past,'' Delahunt told a news conference. He said it was time to ''have a civil and respectful discourse'' between the two nations.***
