Some members of Congress are

promoting a law that changes the

current policy towards Cuba. The

proposed law would re-establish the

same restrictions on family travel andremittances that existed in 2004. This

law would restrict Cuban American

family visits to once every three yearsand it would also restrict remittances to

the island. Would you favor or oppose

such a law?
