by the Floriduh pols / Cuban Americans pols?

There must be some documentation in the form of donations to groups like the Cuba Democracy Pac.

It looks to me, at least from what is researchable, that the interests are mostly Cuban American. Apart from that there is equal pro and con from agriculture for instance.

I'd say the proof of the pudding is what money is being donated to pro-embargo groups or pro-embargo efforts. What other entities or groups are there and how to they funnel money?
