The US-Cuba Friendshipment caravan will attempt to cross into Mexico on July 21st. And we will attempt to re-enter the US on August 3 at the Texas/Mexico border. We have an alert system for supporters and will send out email alerts if we are not able to get through. The messages will come from Pastors for Peace and will be forwarded far and wide so that people can help by making calls to Congress.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">In the past, it has often been these calls that has made the difference. We are all going to be there on the border, but we may need to rely on friends around the country to help by getting the message through to Washington. </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">It's time to end the blockade against Cuba. It;s time to stop using food and medicine as weapons to control another country. It's time to end travel restrictions. It is time to establish normal, respectful relations with our neighbors. President Castro has repeatedly called for talks with the US administration. President Obama has said that he wants to be open to dialogue. Let's help him make that happen.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Contact info follows for our Maine representatives:</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Rep.
