Whereas the Cuban people have suffered under an authoritarian Communist regime in Cuba since 1959; Whereas the Communist regime in Cuba has advanced a violent system of censorship, detention, torture and murder of political opponents, repression of pro-Democracy efforts, and severe restrictions on movement and emigration; and Whereas the Cuban people are entitled to a representative government that fundamentally respects freedom, democracy, and human rights: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives stands in solidarity with the people of Cuba and their fight to achieve freedom, democracy, and human rights.
