In all the uproar over the Mohammed cartoons and the values of freedom of the press and freedom of speech many of us have forgotten that the Islamofascist are not the only people who want to dictate what others can say, read, and print. The communist government of Cuba, for example, dictates what is and is not printed and what is and is not read, right down to the internet.
Guillermo Farinas Hernandez, an independent journalist in Cuba, is on hunger strike to get unrestricted access to the internet. Here are the details. Our, U.S. media has not noticed this story, and it needs to be noticed if anything but starvation is to come of this hunger strike.
Please contact your Congressman, your paper, or anyone who can get this story out. God alone knows how many men and women like Hernandez are out there.
