End the Trade Embargo with Cuba 
Not much coverage in the domestic media (no surprise), but the Canadians have it covered:
Stop Cuba embargo, UN tells Americans

CBC NewsAlmost every country in the United Nations General Assembly urged the U.S. Tuesday to end its four-decade-old embargo against Cuba.
The vote, held for the 14th year in a row, was approved by 182 to 4, with one abstention.
The resolution demanded that the U.S. lift its trade, financial and travel embargo and stop penalizing foreign firms that deal with the island nation.
Siding with the U.S. were Israel, Palau and the Marshall Islands. Micronesia abstained, while El Salvador, Iraq, Morocco and Nicaragua did not vote.
When will this utter stupidity end? Cheney's Halliburton was happily concluding multi-million dollar contracts with the fundamentalists in Iran while trade with this poor Caribean nation is illegal!
