Political Quotes

“certainly today has been a very important day in the lives of the enslaved Cuban people, people who daily cry out for freedom, for democracy, and for justice, because today we are going to have the privilege of inviting family members of the four pilots who were mercilessly cut down, shot down from the sky by Fidel Castro with his Migs. Together with the chairman of the Committee on International Relations, the gentleman from New York Ben Gilman and the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee chairman, the gentleman from Indiana, Dan Burton, I have invited the family members of the four deceased pilots murdered by Cuban tyrant Fidel Castro aboard the Brothers to the Rescue aircraft to testify before a congressional hearing of the Committee on International Relations which will take place this Thursday, February 29, at 10 a.m. I think it is important to put a human face on this barbaric act so that the international community and Members of Congress understand that Castro's brutal act will forever leave a mark on the loving memories of these pilots who gave their lives to help bring freedom and democracy to Cuba.”
