My very first letter to Normy

I have mixed feelings about your letter to the Miami Herald on Monday, October 20th. I believe strongly, as you did while campaigning, that the embargo needs to end between the United States and Cuba, I think we could both agree that trade with Cuba would be beneficial for both economies. In the letter that you wrote, you said that you would not support trade with Cuba, unless their human rights records are improved. I completely agree with your stance on this, I think the United States has the economic might to punish states that violate human rights. I think that you should take these convictions a step farther, and demand that the United States stop trading with nation that are also human rights violators. What a strong message we would be sending to countries like Saudi Arabia. Tell them that we won't buy their oil until they treat women there like human beings. I'm glad that you are taking a stand for human rights, more Senators need to. Senator Coleman, I expect you to be consistent on the issue of human rights, I expect you to actively campaign to improve human rights around the world so that I know that this new position isn't just a partisan one. I'd like to thank you for taking the time to show that you care more about human rights than about trade.

Sincerely,
