Salute to ‘Militant’s’ 75th
As a longtime supporter of the Militant, I was honored and moved by Luis Miranda’s tribute to the paper on its 75th anniversary (Dec. 22, 2003, issue). I don’t know Luis Miranda personally. I know him as so many defenders of the Cuban revolution and fighters for Our América know him, in New York and internationally: as a stalwart, unapologetic and unbending defender of Cuba and the Latin American revolution, and an ally of those struggling for these goals. He is much like the unbroken revolutionary fighters he recognized in his salute to the Militant— from Rafael Cancel Miranda over two decades ago, to the five Cuban patriots imprisoned today. What testimony to the historic achievement of the Militant and its supporters to have produced, for three-quarters of a century, the fruit that sustains such fighters in the prisons of the empire—a true badge of honor. Please accept this contribution towards publication.

Pleased to find you online
I’m so pleased to find you (the Militant) online! I was deeply involved during my undergraduate years (1987-1992) at West Virginia University in Morgantown. I learned things from your organization that have made me the person I am. I went to the White House orchards to unionize the apple pickers, and saw living conditions I thought only existed in “other, poorer countries.”

I hate G.W. Bush, and the direction he is taking our country in. I don’t want to see Bush re-elected. What are you doing toward this end? Who does the Militant suggest we vote for?
