By 2018 most of the Castros will be really gone, and the US will surely argue that there is no longer a need for this law which was meant to protect persecuted Cuban born citizens. A merger with Venezuela will make the law inoperative because Cuba will have ceased to exist. Besides, 2018 is a mid-term election year in the US, and the votes of the Florida based Cuban-American community will not be critical to the incumbent president at that time. Not to mention the fact that Cuban-Americans sympathize in increasing numbers with the Democrats and will not punish a Democratic candidate for killing this law.

It was weird. <br /><br />I can hear chavistas now.....the CIA is responsible.

I have a 412 and a 414. Interestingly I got my Chavez message on the 412 but not on the 414 (which is, by the way, a corporativo so maybe those were spared)Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-91335928041970653232011-12-28T01:42:09.796+01:002011-12-28T01:42:09.796+01:00Cerdita,

I wasn't going to be very polite with man thou :0<br /><br />Daniel, as you, I find it very intrusive. If anyone wants to know my cel number they have to ask me. It's not like there's a cel phone white pages!! My number is private!<br /><br />But I understand that the message is not about wishing us a Merry Christmas, but the fact that the regime does control the cel companies and can do whatever they want. OTOH... this dirty propaganda works very well in the barrios. I bet a lot of people were very happy and amused with their personal mensajito from Hugo.<br /><br />Mark my words. They will use again this method to make people vote for him.

Chavez keeps taking little steps and every time he is losing support while oppo gets more popular. <br /><br />I still think that Hugo will lose....but will do everything to stay. He will stop at nothing to cling to power. Him and his cronies have passed the point of no return. Will it take a civil uprising to protect our votes after the sure fraud and cheating that will be in this election. Will we make it to an election? Its not a question of if he loses... its a question of how we make him leave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
