Setting the Record Straight (Again)

Whether the focus is a Republican or a Democrat, we will always set the record straight from any false accusation regarding Cuba policy.

In a column in The Tampa Bay Times, Daniel Ruth writes the following:

"So [Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Paul] Ryan has served in Congress with Ros-Lehtinen and the Diaz-Balarts for years, while voting to oppose the embargo, and only just recently concluded he was really against it before he was for it? Where have we heard that before? And his "I've seen the light!" moment occurred at about the same time he was invited to join the Romney ticket?"

This is simply not true.

Paul Ryan changed his voting position on Cuba in 2007, when he opposed an amendment to the Farm Bill seeking to ease travel and financing restrictions towards the Castro regime.

Ryan voted NO.

That was when Barack Obama was just starting to run for President, so a Vice Presidential bid 5-years later was unlikely to be on Paul Ryan's mind.

Ruth should correct his column.
