US President George W Bush is in the midst of preparing an anti-democratic transformation from socialism to capitalism in Cuba, after (or before) revolutionary Cuban leader Fidel Castro's death. Castro, whose heroic revolutionary movement overthrew the US-supported dictator Fulgencio Batista and replaced the suffering of millions of Cubans with a socialist governement providing free health care, literacy for all Cubans and one of the best infant mortality rates in the world (only 8 deaths for every 1000 births) an above-average life expectancy rate and a doctor for every 146 inhabitants as well as being the country to send the most doctors to third-world countries. The revolution in Cuba must be perserved for the sake of millions of lives, all those who believe in progress and social justice, all those who believe in the right for socialism to exist and all those who believe in the true meaning of democracy: power to the people, please sign this petition. Communism is not a privilege, it is a right of the people, it is the rising of the exploited against the exploiters, it is the ultimate proof of liberty and democracy, because property does not mean liberty, power does not mean justice, and capitalism does not mean democracy. This is the first fight in a long battle, against the United States' foreign policy of oppression and exploitation in Latin America, in Africa and in the world and now particularly in Cuba. For all those who still believe that America is a free and democratic country that believes in the well-being and justice of other people in the world, here is an abridged, approximate list of dictatorships supported by America over the years (taken from http://www.omnicenter.org)

Is this foreign policy acceptable for a country that proclaims to be encouraging democracy in the world? This is not democracy. So we ask you, fight with us, fight for Fidel, just as he fought for the Latin American people in the Sierra Maestra with the Comandante Che Guevara, whose ideal of spreading socialism in the great exploited lands of Latin America and Africa we still believe in!And so this petition argues for the US governement to let the Cuban People decide for themselves and to stop any kind of military, economic or political intervention after or before Fidel Castro's death. Fight with us, in the name of social justice, in the name of democracy, in the name of the freedom to exist and to be, a revolutionary socialist governement.

HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!

because it is true. I want to fight for a better world. I want to believe in a world where the justice and freedom that America intends to portry into their flag and fails miserably become a reality. I will fight for a Mexico free! This is my country, a land of liberty and pride, that has piece by piece been taken away by the Americans! I will fight for Cuba, the first but never last victory of the Revolution! I will fight for the world! For those who wish a better life, with equality, education, culture, and health!
