“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.” - Mary Ann Radmacher

To My Fellow Cuban Americans:
We who have loved and lost an entire nation by our own hands... The widespread corruption of Batista's government opened the door to the things the nation suffered under the So Called Revolutionary government. We must uphold with special strength a perserverance the ideals of INTEGRITY of this nation that gave us welcome and provided us with every opportunity to prosper within its borders and Laws.

Search your hearts and minds for the God given courage, integrity and goodness that is Every People's inheritance.

Fellow Immigrants:
We have been the beneficiaries of the whole hearted integrity and openness of a nation who offered us their representative liberties and gave us refuge in our darkest hours. We share a debt of gratitude to this nation, that has come due. You have friends across this nation in every industry. Call them. Remind them of the good fortune we are all inheritors in. This nation must mean to the generations of the distant future the same that it has meant to us, a refuge and a haven of Liberty, Hope, Law, and Opportunity in a stormy world of uncertainty. We must today uphold with particular vigor the principles of integrity and diligence in private and public affairs that the forefathers espoused and have guided this nation for over 200 years.

Tomás Estrada-Palma: LocaAnnapolis, MD, United States’‘ Let entrepreneurs into Cuba, keep the tax low and watch the economic explosion happen. Whenever there are more jobs than workers the wages and benefits are driven upward. That's because entrepreneurs compete for a limited supply of workers. Those who lose the competition will not be as successful because they can't grow without more laborers. Finally, the first modern society on the planet will be populated by people who are neither slaves to the pharaohs of industry nor government. Cuban workers will have the best job security in the world!' http://adamsmithslostlegacy.com/ASLLBlog.htm

Andy Garcia and screenwriter Guillermo Cabrera Infante knew full well that "the working poor" had NO role in the stage of the Cuban Revolution ... The Anti-Batista rebellion was led and staffed overwhelmingly by Cuba's middle -- and especially, upper -- class. In August of 1957 Castro's rebel movement called for a "National Strike" against the Batista dictatorship -- and threatened to shoot workers who reported to work. The "National Strike" was completely ignored. Another was called for April 9, 1958. And again Cuban workers ignored their "liberators," reporting to work en masse.
