Proclamation Restricts Rights of Boats in US Waters

A Proclamation made by US President George W. Bush on February 26, 2004,
authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to take virtually total
control over any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters of
the United States, if the authorities feel that vessel "may be used, or is
susceptible of being used, for voyage into Cuban territorial waters".



You have a problem with that? Why?

Because it has nothing to do with homeland security or stopping drug smuggling
and everything to do with a small group of wealthy, politically connected
Cubans in Miami to which both the Republicans and the Democrats kowtow to.

Capt. Bill

Because it subverts my rights under the law, to be assumed innocent until
found otherwise. You whiz bang lawyer, you.
Even then, what is possibly accomplished by keeping the ban on visiting Cuba?
We may need pointers on how to live on zero income some day soon if 'ol dubyah'
stays the course, and they might be a good resource!

If you were piloting a boat in time of war in the US.....and your boat was
needed to thwart an attack.... and you resisted....you may very well be
dead.

Jim,
The BS law that's the subject of this thread makes no more sense than when
the US was making threatening noises towards countries conducting business
and allowing travel to Cuba. It has absolutely nothing to do with security.
From following your posts, I can see that you really don't understand the
actual reason behind this law. It's the very loud Cuban-American voting
block and the fact that the rest of the country doesn't care enough to get
the 40 year old (failed) embargo lifted.
We're now "pals" with both Russia (which has sent us all their worst
criminals) and China (who has almost done away with US made goods); yet we
still have a hard on for Cuba? Give me a break.
There's a saying, "Unless you're the lead sheep, the view is always the

I know of a few people up in Maine that don't think that's too bad a view.

Apparently, over 50% of our country has that very same opinion.

The same people that are screaming about this, and that it is Welcome to
1984 folks" had no problem when Billy and Hilly were using the FBI files
to spy on private citizens. Plus they don't know the difference between
loose and lose.

Translation: If the "authorities" believe for any reason that you are
THINKING about or are able to visit Cuba, you loose your boat. Yup...the
authorities are now MIND READERS. And once they read your mind they act
accordingly. I would venture to say that ANY boat is "susceptible of
being used to visit Cuba, wouldn't you?

Don't believe it? Here's it is striaght from the horses ass...err...mouth

Welcome to 1984 folks.

Dear Jr Gilbreath,

1) I don't give a rat's ass about politics. Bush, Gore, Clinton, I
simply couldnt care less. I am neither democrat or republican. You can
try to turn this into a Dems vs. Rep. issue if you want to...doesn't
change the law one bit though.

2) OBVIOUSLY since I typed an extra O when spelling lose..the entire
statement made is negated. OBVIOUSLY that extra O completely erradicates
any opinion offered. OBVIOUSLY, the law as posted on the whitehouse web
site doesn't really exist, since I acidently added an extra O to word
lose. By the way Jr Gilbreath, just in case you are as thick as your
post suggests, try a google of the word sarcasm).

It's remarkable what you, who feel that you need to be RIGHT in spite of
the obvious FACTS presented (
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...040226-11.html ), will accept
as proof that you are right.

Here Jr Gilbreath, let me help:

In spite of the fact that lawyers no doubt spent months writing and
rewriting this law, in spite of the fac that Resident GWB signed this
into law, he doesn't really mean it. You can tell because I added an
extra O to the word lose. OBVIOUSLy that proves that the law as written
and published by the whitehouse is meaningless. They are just kidding ok?

Feel better now Jr Gilbreath ?
