Draft Joe Garcia

I'm sure you've already heard that our good friend, Joe Garcia, is thinking of running for Congress this year. As a lifelong South Floridian, this is definitely exciting news because we all know how badly our community needs leaders that aren't in it only for themselves and will serve the people. Let's help make this decision easier for Joe by letting him know he has our support.

Esquire Shuns The Diaz-Balart Brothers

Esquire got into the political endorsement game in its recent issue, and some incumbents in Congress who are seeking re-election perhaps wished the magazine hadn''t. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart and Alcee Hastings were among the eight members of the Florida Congressional Delegation who failed to win the magazine's endorsement.
The Diaz-Balart brothers drew the editors' ire for failing to move beyond their apparent political reason for being: Fidel Castro........here

What kind of impact the men's magazine endorsement will have is anybody's guess.
The Diaz Balart brothers are in tight races and could be swept out of office in a landslide Democratic vote.

Joe Garcia, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, And Al Jazeera

A new flyer looks to cast a wide enemies net around Democrat Joe Garcia. It's apparently not enough to link him solely with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez........here

FL-25: Real Trouble For Mario Diaz-Balart

Diaz-Balart (R) 45
Garcia (D) 41
These are awesome numbers. Diaz-Balart is well under 50 percent, which of course is a danger sign for any incumbent. But Diaz-Balart is also fighting against the changing trends in this district and a blockbuster Obama operation...........here

Joe Garcia: Ask Him A Question, And Take A Seat

Over the weekend Real Clear Politics ranked Joe Garcia as the South Florida candidate most likely to defeat an incumbent and the Miami Herald's Naked Politics Blog was quick to pick it up..........here

Joe Garcia Endorsed By Bob Graham

Some history lessons leap out at you with road signs. Well, today it was a sidewalk sign saying this building in the center of Miami-Dade College was the Dante Fascell Conference Center, and this was where Sen. Bob Graham was going to issue his endorsement of Joe Garcia for Congress in FL-25........here

Joe Garcia Is Here To Win

Things happen when, after so many years of a family holding political power, all of a sudden, there is fatigue of the repeated speeches, the passing of days, generational shifts or the moment of political realignment in the country sounds several alarms that warn that the trendy word, change, is not only coming to the White House, but to the Congress as well........here

The South Florida Trifecta

Will Democratic challengers in the three "Cuban" congressional districts of South Florida loosen the stranglehold that old-line anti-Castroism has had on presidential politics and Cuba policy? That's a question that can be answered only in the byzantine maze of Little Havana politics.......here

Joe Garcia: Welcome To S. Florida, Sen. McCain

One of eve of John McCain's major speech on Latin American policy and trade in Miami, Joe Garcia, the former executive director of the Cuban American National Foundation and a candidate for Congress, held a conference call to deride the Republican hard-line stance on Cuba, and to warn that South Florida's robust Cuban-American community isn't the GOP bastion it once was........here

Joe Garcia - Best Miami Politician

In South Florida, the notion that there's such a thing as a first-rate politician is hard to swallow. But Garcia is simply good at what he does........here

The Life and Times of Joe Garcia

While there have been many Independents, Libertarians, and Greens running for office in the Elections that are being held in the United States of America in 2008, there are some people within the Democratic Party that are worth mentioning. One of them is Joe Garcia and the upcoming elections for the 25th District of Florida.........here

I'm A Joe Garcia Small Dollar Contributor

I'll take this opportunity to make the record clear--I'm a Joe Garcia small dollar contributor. No secret there, and hardly a cover up. How about you? Is your donation being "covered up"? Let's show Diaz-Balart what good, patriotic American small donors can do in defense of our country--electing serious men and women who will fight for us on the real issues facing the country today, not the bogeymen from decades past........here

My Dinner with Joe Garcia

Joe is the former Executive Director of the Cuban American National Foundation and is a well known figure in South Florida and a leader within Florida's Cubano community........here

Matthew Yglesias On Joe Garcia

For a few cycles now, I keep hearing talk that South Florida may be ready for a somewhat more enlightened approach to Cuba than the "starve them until they give us back our confiscated property" model that's done so very little to drive Castro from power over the past 50 years.......here via.....flablog

Blue America Welcomes Joe Garcia

50's style red-baiting has become as salient as... hula hoops -- except in Florida where McCarthyite tactics are frequently on full display. Extreme right politicians are never shy about tarring their opponents as "Communists" and "commie-dupes." If you check over at ActBlue, you'll notice that Blue America's latest endorsee, Joe Garcia, has more contributions than all the other candidates in the entire state -- combined........here

Joe Garcia Takes On The Miami Cuban Mafia

Joe Garcia has been fighting this corrupt Cuban mafia for years. This corrupt group is a major source of funding for the Florida Republican Party, and it flexes its political muscle via the three south Florida Cuban Republicans -- Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen -- and Democrat Debbie Wasserman-Schultz........here

Joe Garcia on Republican Dirty Tactics

My pro-Democracy in Cuba credentials are solid. Before my opponent was in the Florida State Legislature I was marching and meeting with US lawmakers in DC advocating for democratic change in Cuba. This, however, will not stop them from disparaging my record. Similar to how they attacked national heroes like Max Cleland and John Kerry for being unpatriotic, they will try to label me as a communist sympathizer.......here

This, however, will not work for them in 2008.
