El Noticiero de Alvarez Galloso

The momentum just keeps on growing!

Joe picked up a major endorsement yesterday. The world’s most widely read political blog, the Daily Kos, endorsed Joe’s candidacy. We were also endorsed by Blue Majority, a coalition of the most influential political blogs in the country.

By making a contribution you will directly impact this race and help turn South Florida around. Joe has the vision to lead, the courage to ask the tough questions and the character to represent our community with the respect it deserves. Show him your support and keep up the momentum.

In the first month and a half of 2008, Governor Crist took off more week days than he worked – showing up less than 50% of the time.[Governor’s Public Schedule, Jan. 1-Feb. 13, 2008]When Charlie Crist ran for Governor in 2006, he spent millions on infamous “Empty Chair” television ads to attack Democratic candidate Jim Davis. These ubiquitous ads, which featured an empty chair rolling along the streets of Washington, DC, were largely credited as Crist’s most memorable attack on Davis.

The Republican Party of Florida even brought back the “empty chair” concept to attack Democrats in late 2007.

Unfortunately for the people of Florida, the real empty chair – Charlie Crist – won.

These days, Floridians are more likely to see their Governor’s perpetually sunny face in the background of a McCain campaign press conference than working to deal with the state’s economic crisis.

In 2006, Charlie Crist ran for Governor on a populist platform, pledging to be the “People’s Governor,” offering glimpses off a bright future for Florida on the horizon.

But now we learn that he hasn’t showed up for work even half of the time. Where is Charlie Crist when we need him? His fellow Republicans have run amok in the State Legislature. Empty Chair Charlie’s absenteeism and lack of leadership is a disservice to all Floridians.

We’ve had enough of the endless electioneering and infinite photo ops. Contrary to GOP delusions, we’re now mired in a Republican Recession. The Governor has been getting a free pass from the media, but his hypocrisy is apparent.

He said he would come to work every day, but he doesn’t. And we’ve got real problems to deal with in Florida. I don’t know about you, but I’m concerned about rising insurance costs and living in the state leading the housing industry meltdown. I make sacrifices every day to make sure I can provide for my family, pay for gas, and afford healthcare.

I’m certainly in a different position than Governor Crist. I don’t have access to lavish private jets and can’t define my own hours. But I do know the difference between hard work and hardly working.

I know Florida can’t afford to adopt a three-day work week. Charlie Crist shouldn’t be able to get away with doing so, especially considering his promise to work hard for the people.

Enough with Empty Chair Charlie Crist

-In the first month and a half of 2008, Governor Crist took off more week days than he worked – showing up less than 50% of the time. [Governor’s Public Schedule, Jan. 1-Feb. 13, 2008]

-Charlie Crist relentlessly attacked his Democratic opponent in 2006, Jim Davis, by saying “Jim, as you know, you can’t govern from an empty chair.” [Gubernatorial Debate 10/24/06] The accompanying ad campaign should offer enough proof that Charlie’s memory can’t be that bad. We need to hold him to the standard he once claimed he would exhibit.

-Another famous Republican thought he could effectively govern while taking extended hiatus trips. We all saw just what George Bush cooked up while tending to his Texas ranch: a disastrous recession, the never ending war in Iraq, and a full slate of domestic and international problems that don’t look to be settled anytime soon.

-Right now, Florida is facing serious problems in most aspects of our society. This full-fledged Republican Recession requires hard work and solutions – not rhetoric. What has Governor Crist offered in terms of relief to our insurance, housing and recession woes? Where will he direct us in regards to education, healthcare and the immediate state budget crunch? As we scream for solutions, all Governor Crist offers are express travels on the John McCain tour.

The Florida Democratic Party has picked up nine house seats in the State Legislature and dozen of other local municipal elections. Democrats now seem to be the clear pick as the people’s preference.

Los Democratas de la Florida rechazaron la propuesta para una primaria por correo. Estamos en veremos con lo que sucede. El Partido Democratico de la Florida estan buscando una solucion para la situacion precaria de los delegados en la Convencion,

According to WFOR 4 News in Miami Florida, the Democratic Party of Florida voted NOT to repeat the Florida Primary saying it was unrealistic. Now there is an attempt to placate the Obama and Clinton Factions in Florida. The Obama Faction says NO to delegates from Florida going to the Democratic Convention while the Clinton Factor says “Yes”. This soap opera never seems to end but it is enjoyable.

Parece que el Gobernador de Nueva York Spitzer con problema. Despues de luchar contra los prostibulos, parece que lo cogieron con las manos en la masa. Debe renunciar.

En el 2007, politico republicano de Idaho Larry Craig que lucho tanto contra los homosexuales lo cogieron con las manos en la masa en un aeropuerto en Minnesota. Todavia no renuncia pero el pueblo de Idaho pasa por el aeropuerto para honrar un acto a favor de la inmoralidad.

Considero la crisis de los delegados de la Florida y Michigan concerniente a las primarias nulificada por el Partido Democratico una muestra de la falta de respeto del Comite Nacional Democratico hacia la voluntad de los votantes.  La Crisis comenzo a prinicipios de 2008 cuando el Partido Democratico de la Florida y Michigan adelantaron las fechas de sus primarias desafiando las reglas establecidas por el Comite Nacional Democratico.

La razon de la Florida y Michigan en adelantar sus primarias fue basada en el temor que los votos de los dos estados no tendran validez despues de Super Martes.Como respuesta, el Comite Nacional Democratico fallo en nulificar los resultados de las primarias y negar el derecho de los delegados de Michigan y la Florida la representacion en la Convencion Nacional Democratico. Los votantes militantes del Partido Democratico en la Florida y Michigan hicieron sacrificios heroicos para depositar su voto a pesar de la respuesta negativa del Comite Nacional Democratico en reconocer los resultados. Ahora con el final de las Primarias, existe la posibilidad de una primaria repetida en la Florida y Michigan. Parece que el Comite Nacional Democratico como los Republicanos perdieron contacto con el pueblo de los Estados Unidos. 

Considero un acto de hipocresia del Partido Democratico y el Comite Nacional Democratico sus acciones contra los votantes de la Florida y Michigan. El Partido Democratico y El Comite Nacional Democratico habla de la democracia y los derechos humanos pero no lo quiere practicar con el pueblo de la Florida y Michigan. El Partido Democratico y El Comite Nacional Democratico habla del derecho del voto y la necesidad de votar para ser respetado. La respuesta del Partido Democratico y el Comite Nacional Democratico hacia la Florida y Michigan es una bofetada a los que depositaron sus urnas. Quiero retar a las altas esferas del Partido Democratico y el Comite Nacional Democratico en resolver este problema respetando los resultados de las Primarias de la Florida y Michigan del principio de 2008 o quitar el nombre Democratico de su partido. La tonteria del Partido Democratico y el Comite Nacional Democratico contra los votantes de la Florida y Michigan sirve como un resfuerzo de que gracia a Dios, soy Independiente. La terquedad del Partido Democratico y el Comite Nacional Democratico sirve como resfuerzo de la necesidad en abolir el concepto de las primarias y el Colegio Electoral.

The controversy of the Florida and Michigan Delegates started when both states

held their primaries ahead of schedule and against the decision of the Democratic

National Committee. The Florida and Michigan Democratic Party thought that their

vote would not count in the case of other states primaries. The Florida and

Michigan Democratic Party received a stern warning from the Democratic National

Committee of not having their delegates recognized if they held their vote. The

Democratic National Committee also warned that their primaries would be non

binding. When does the Democratic National Committee suddenly decide that a

vote is valid or not? It is sheer hypocrisy that the Democratic Party has promoted

the concept of freedom and human rights around the world but decide that the  

Florida and Michigan Votes are worth nothing. It appears that the Democratic Party

and The Democratic National Committee have lost touch with the common people. 

The Democratic Party of Michigan and Florida is willing to hold another Primary

before June 2008 but the fact that people braved rain, snow, winds, taking the day

off from work, or even forming lines after work in order to exercise their right to vote

the first time around should mean that the earlier Primary Results should stand as

they are and be accepted as valid. The Democratic Party and the Democratic

National Committee should accept the results as they are and accept the delegates

from Florida and Michigan or drop the name Democratic as their party name. The

Democratic Party and The Democratic National Committee should take into

account their members who voted in these Primaries because holding another

primary may eventually question the legitimacy of the Primaries, Caucuses, and the

Electoral College.  

The fact that the Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee have

decided to hold hostage their followers in Michigan and Florida as to whether their

vote counts or not reveals that they are the party of democracy and freedom when

its suits their interests. I am talking about the same Democratic Party and

Democratic National Committee who blames Ralph Nader and the Green Party for

their defeat in 2004 when in fact that the votes did not even affect the outcome of

the 2004 Election. I am also talking about the same Democratic Party who

collaborated with the Republican Party in Ohio in 2004 to nullify the 57,000

signatures in a petition by the Libertarian Party to place Michael Badnarik on the

Ballot for President of the United States. I am also talking about the same

Democratic and Republican Party who have held the nation hostage with their talk,

no action, and lots of loss of freedom. I challenge the Democratic Party and the

Democratic National Committee to grow up, practice the art of freedom, respect the

vote of Florida and Michigan, and allow the delegates of Florida and Michigan to

take their places amongst their fellow delegates or drop the name “Democratic”

from their party name.
