On the front
page of last week's East Hampton Star was a story of East Hampton Town
Supervisor Jay Schneiderman's and East Hampton Town Board Member Diana
Weir's trip to Playa, Cuba. The story states that Mr. Schneiderman
signed a "letter of intention" with a member of Cuba's version of a state
assembly. We at BONAC.COM think that Mr. Schneiderman's actions were
presumptious at best and he should have sought buy-in from other East Hampton
Town organizations prior to committing our town to a relationship with
a foreign country whose government is based on communist principles.
As a review, communism is defined as:
A communist
country is not a democracy. Its' officials are not the freely elected
voice of the people. They use, and have used, intimidation, torture
and murder to further their misbegotten ideology not only on their political
adversaries, but to any "citizen" voicing an opinion other than the "official
position". Mr. Schneiderman met with Edel E. Correa Mijares, Playa's
Municipality Assembly of People's Power.
