Over the past week or so, I have been working on putting together a blog focused on American policy towards Cuba for Mauricio Claver-Carone, Executive Director of Cuba Democracy Public Advocacy, Corp. Today, the blog was officially launched to the public. Check it out at CapitolHillCubans.com
Here is the press release Mauricio sent out announcing the launch of the site:
NEW BLOG BRINGS "INSIDER'S VIEW" ON CUBA POLICY
www.CapitolHillCubans.com to Provide Daily Analysis and Criticism
WASHINGTON - As the world's attention turns to the Congressional debate on Cuba pursuant to President Obama's recent policy announcement, a new Washington D.C.-based blog will provide up-to-the minute information and analysis on the important issues and deliberations facing U.S. policy towards Cuba.
"Cuba policy is subject to a great deal of speculation and misinformation," said Mauricio Claver-Carone, Founding Editor of CapitolHillCubans.com. "Media attention remains fixated on the Castro brother and sanctions. Our goal is to explain the reality of and rationale for U.S. policy, but more importantly to introduce the D.C. community to the exciting developments amongst Cuba's courageous pro-democracy movement, such as their use of underground music, technology and culture as tools of dissent," added Claver-Carone.
Prominently featured on the blog are "Do's and Don'ts of Cuba Policy," a summary of White Paper findings for the Obama Administration and the U.S. Congress; a "Campaign for Freedom," which highlights various pro-democracy movements and campaigns on the island; and a "Congressional Hall of Shame," that singles out Members of Congress that travel to the island to solely meet with the Castro regime and its officials.
