Andy Garcia, Hollywood's Hero for March

From Drudge and Corriente Latina.com.
"HUMAN RIGHTS SOLIDARITY MARCH LED BY ANDY GARCIA
By: Corriente Latina | 03.24.2010

Sunday, internationally acclaimed actor Andy Garcia will join hundreds across the country in a symbolic march in solidarity with victims of repression in Cuba. In Los Angeles, the march will take place in Echo Park at 2:00pm following the culmination of a 12-hour fast in honor of the late Orlando Tamayo Zapata. Tamayo was an Amnesty International prisoner of conscience who died earlier this month after an 85-day hunger strike protesting the deplorable conditions in Cuban prisons.

“We are walking in silence, dressed in the white—the color of peace and absolute freedom—to show solidarity with the Cuban people, and especially the women in white (Damas de Blanco) suffering the abuses and injustices perpetrated by the repressive Cuban government, not only onto themselves, but also towards their husbands and sons, the imprisoned political dissidents fighting for human rights and democracy in Cuba.

Please join us in this march in support of the long-suffering Cuban people who deserve to enjoy the liberties that we so cherish.” –Andy Garcia "
HUMAN RIGHTS SOLIDARITY MARCH LED BY ANDY GARCIA | News

I first have to say I did not know Andy Garcia except in Oceans 11,12,and 13. Yea I know, I don't watch a lot of T V. He sure sold me on him being an evil greedy guy. After seeing him as the grand marshal at the Fontana NASCAR race and now seeing him doing this



I will confess I was wrong.


To be a actor on the left coast, he seems to not hide his opinion on what is right and what he bekieves in. Looks like Georgie Clooney cannot hold a candle to Mr. Garcia. With all the wacko leftie kooks from hollywood it's good to see Mr Garcia stand up for what is right and not what will get him another job on the left coast.

No I don't have a Hollywood hero of the month but if I did, Mr Garcia would be it for March.
