Cuban, you who have had to leave your land and today you feel the need to leave it, missing every second the smell of your home, the noise of your neighborhood and the laughter of your family and friends; you who see your country bleed day by day, mute before the bestiality of this regime because our land has been suffering for a long time because of its oppressors receiving the scourge of those who, in their weakness, have led our nation as if it were their personal finances, it is time to say “Enough is enough”.
Remember your thousands of brothers who have left this country in search of lands of freedom willing to freeze or drown before tolerating the agony of dying in life. Remember the men and women who are serving an unjust prison today for loudly claiming in the Cuban streets rights not only ours, but of an entire people. Remember those brothers like Laura Pollán, Pedro Luis Boitel, Orlando Zapata, Oswaldo Payá, among many others who have lost their lives throughout history pursuing this wonderful cause for freedom and democracy in Cuba.
