Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from the state and other similar under the name of "freedom of travel to Cuba 2015", sponsored by Senator Jeff Flake the neighboring state of Arizona, reports CatholicCulture.org digital site.
"We hold that the way to promote religious freedom and human rights in Cuba is through dialogue and reconciliation between the US and Cuba and in Cuban society. To achieve this, the trade and travel embargo should be lifted. We share the view of the Catholic Bishops of Cuba that compromise is the way to greater democracy and respect for human rights," he added.
