I have some very exciting news for you. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) just announced that our campaign has been added to its «Red to Blue» program.

By adding us to this «Red to Blue» list, the national party has expressed its confidence that Joe Garcia will be the next Congressman from Florida.

Its a reflection of what we have known for a while: that South Florida is hungry for change, that Joe Garcia is the man to deliver it, and that Mario Diaz-Balart is extremely vulnerable. We can, and we will, beat an incumbent that many thought was untouchable.

And we couldn’t have gotten to this place without you.

But now isn’t the time to celebrate — its time to roll-up our sleeves and get to work. Please help us build on our momentum today.

Can you ask three friends to join us?

Thanks for everything you do,

I would like to thank everyone who came out and supported the movement we are creating this past weekend. We had motivated and determined volunteers committed to changing Washington that vigorously canvassed neighborhood precincts. Voters were enthused about the prospect of changing politics as usual and finding real solutions to the problems voters face in their day to day life. This weekend I would like to again reach out a hand in partnership. Two separate walks will be hosted this weekend. We will be launching a new phase in our grassroots campaign!
Please come and join us to help kick-off our Walk for South Dade this Saturday at 12.45pm at Loren Roberts Park, 627 NW Sixth Ave. in Florida City. We will be knocking on people’s door finding out the challenges they face and their hopes for a better tomorrow. If you have any questions regarding the Walk for South Dade please contact Eddie Garza at 305.972.6779.
I would also like to remind you we are continuing our outreach to the residents of West Kendall. We will be meeting at Hammocks Community Park located at 9885 Hammocks Blvd. at 10am on Saturday and on 12.30 pm on Sunday. If you have any questions please contact Alex Deus at 305.588.2656.
Please come and join us at one of these events on Saturday and walk with us on Sunday. Remember, you support is pivotal in delivering the victory we need this November and to show the country that South Florida is ready to change the direction of our country! I hope that you all will be able to attend our walks!
Best,
Joe

On Friday, George W. Bush is coming to raise money for his favorite South Florida rubber-stamp, Mario Diaz-Balart. The media is not invited and the event is far, far away from our community.

Apparently, Mario Diaz-Balart likes to vote with President Bush and take his money, but he doesn’t want to be seen with him in public.

This isn’t the first time Mario Diaz-Balart hides from you. A few weeks ago he skipped a debate with Joe Garcia that had been on his calendar for over a month.

I can’t blame him for hiding. What excuse can he possibly give for picking partisan politics over basic principles and the needs of our community? Like all his votes for the Iraq War – spreading our military thin and making our country less safe in the process – and then opposing a new GI Bill and funding for our troops.

Mario can run, but he can’t hide.

With your help, our campaign will hold him accountable. Make a donation right now and let’s show Mario Diaz-Balart what a people-based campaign looks like:

Unlike Mario Diaz-Balart, Joe Garcia isn’t afraid to stand up for our families and offer common-sense solutions to the problems we face. Joe has a record of working across party lines, helping regular, working folks and being an independent-minded leader in our community.

He has a plan to reduce our dependency on foreign oil, pass a health care plan that covers everyone and lowers premiums, and provide tax-relief to working families.

All Mario Diaz-Balart offers is a record of rubber-stamping the failed policies of George W. Bush over 90% of the time, being ranked the 406th most effective member in Congress (out of 435) and dead-last in bringing home funds to his district.

We know we can do better. Our families deserve leadership in Congress that shows up to lead on the issues, not just to vote.

Make a contribution now and let’s bring real change to South Florida and Washington.
