Mr. Speaker, this Sunday, Colombians in my Congressional District will go to the polls to vote on the Colombia- FARC deal, deciding whether to hold the narco-terrorist organization known as the FARC accountable for its innumerable crimes committed over more than 50 years. Yet, in a deal brokered by the duplicitous Castro regime, the FARC members may soon get off scot-free--no jail time and no compensation to the family members of their victims. FARC members will even be allowed to run for office. Good grief. This is a bad deal, Mr. Speaker, and it should not be financed by American taxpayers. The only things the FARC and its criminal backers in Havana are interested in are more opportunities to continue running drugs, lining their pockets, and destabilizing Latin America. Colombians in my district can vote on the deal in either Coral Gables, Hialeah, or Kendall, as well as many other places surrounding Miami. For more information on voting locations, they can contact the Colombian consulate in Miami. ____________________
