Cuba needs our help.

Early reports on the impact of Hurricane Dennis indicate severe damage: 16 dead, nearly 150,000 homes and buildings damaged or destroyed, over 1.5 billion dollars in material destruction and climbing. For many Cubans, who struggle economically even in good times, the need for assistance is real.

What help can the United States provide to help our neighbors in Cuba recover?

We call upon President Bush to set aside the restrictions he imposed last year and allow, even on a temporary basis, Cuban-American families to provide unlimited cash assistance to their families and friends in Cuba. They should also be permitted to travel to the island freely to help with post-hurricane recovery and relief.

Let President Bush know that you support allowing Cuban-Americans to provide assistance and support for Cuba. Take a few moments to send a message to the White House to ask the President to be a good neighbor and a Good Samaritan.

Because the messages are slightly different, we created a specific letter for Cuban-Americans and a letter for everyone else. If you are Cuban-American and would like to send a letter to President Bush, click here. If you are not Cuban-American and would like to send a letter, click here.

Sincerely,
