The notion that the US Government should usurp authority over <br>
the mobility of sovereign citizens is absurd.<br>
<br>
The whole idea that the Federal Government or any other government
should <br>
say to a person "you can't leave here to go there because we dont
like them" ought to be<br>
recognized as the shameful nonsense that it is.<br>

<div>Davis on right side of Cuba question</div>
<div>Mon, 12/22/2014 - 3:39am | The News-Gazette</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was glad to see our representative, Rodney Davis, take
a strong stand in support of President Obama's move to
restore diplomatic relations with Cuba and ease the U.S.
embargo on Cuba ("Davis praises Obama's action; says it will
help families, farmers," Dec. 18.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Rep. Davis has long advocated easing the blockade to make
it easier for Illinois farmers to export to Cuba, as your
article noted.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, hostile Republican reactions like that of
Sen. Rubio got the most national press attention. But other
Republicans joined Rep. Davis in welcoming President Obama's
move, like Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake and Utah Rep. Jason
Chaffetz.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope Rep. Davis will work vigorously with both
Republicans and Democrats in Congress to end the embargo
completely, eliminating restrictions on the ability of all
Americans to travel freely to Cuba. As Rep. Chaffetz noted,
"we should allow all Americans to make those choices. You
can travel to North Korea, you can travel to some pretty
awful places, Americans should be able to make those
decisions all by themselves."</div>
