Seeing how the Hispanic American community grows day by day here in Port St. Lucie is a source of pride for all of us who once emigrated in search of new dreams in this land of Freedom.
Preserving this freedom is how we integrate into the workforce, capable of creating businesses, generating jobs, and building a better world for future generations.
I am Cuban, I left a country where these kinds of opportunities do not exist, where tyrants in the name of social equality have plunged the people into misery.
Here, I not only found freedom of speech, religion, and association; but by becoming a citizen of this country, I also gained the right to vote and participate in the political life of this society.
When I was studying in Cuba, they told me that this nation’s power lay in its weaponry.
It wasn’t until I arrived here that I understood that this nation’s true power has been its freedom, the strength of its institutions, and the republic our Founding Fathers gave us.
Preserving and strengthening that legacy will be our greatest contribution to this nation we already love.
That’s why become a citizen, vote, and get involved in the political life of your community, so that together, we can make America great again.
