Alert! Senate votes on travel ban MONDAY!

Senator Byron Dorgan plans to force a vote in the Senate on Monday, October 17th, to end the ban on travel to Cuba.

We want you to raise your voice and tell your Senators to support the Dorgan amendment.

The Dorgan amendment will be offered to the Treasury/Transportation bill.

We urge you to contact your Senators to legalize travel to Cuba and to help foster a fresh start for relations between Cuba and the United States. Sizeable majorities across our country already favor ending the travel ban. Americans and Cubans should have the right to travel back and forth across the Florida Straits, without asking their governments’ permission.

Here’s what you need to do.

The most effective step is to call your two senators (find their contact information at www.senate.gov , or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121) to urge them to vote for the Dorgan Cuba travel amendment to the Transportation-Treasury Appropriations bill. Make sure your senators know that you are a constituent; then make your opinions known.
