It Does Make a Difference

Carlos Rios Otero, a Cuban dissident participating in the non-cooperation campaign, has made a plea to be allowed to send a taped message to the Miami program "A Mano Limpia." Some interesting stuff surfaces in his letter.

Discussing how they are publicizing their resistance campaign against the phony upcoming elections, he points out they need our air and radio waves. Let's not forget that due to information restrictions, we in the United States know more about the dissidents than their fellow countrymen do. He states

por la radio estamos trasmitiendo cosas de ANN y la campana por el NO para toda Cuba. Ellos son la VOA, Radio Marti y Radio Mambí y la Poderosa.

over the radio we are conveying info [about the campaign]. They are the VOA, Radio Marti [You know the one we're wasting money on] and Radio Mambi and the Poderosa.

The most interesting thing is the feedback about the recent publicity. Apparently, the Real Cuba stuff has made it to the Real Cuba. He is so fired up to get the word out because

En estos dias vimos uno sobre la crisis de la salud en Cuba del que se han estado repartiendo copias y que se comenta en toda la Habanna.

These days we have one over the health crises in Cuba, copies of which have made the rounds and are the subject of commentary in all Havana

Ain't it something? Those enterprising Cubans seem to have found a circuitous route around the information embargo. Check it out here. There's a link to the actual text of the letter here also. Gracias, Rafael.
