Cindy & Chavez
VenezuelaDictator Vows To Bring Down U.S. Government

Venezuela government is sole owner of Citgo gasoline company

Venezuela Dictator Hugo Chavez has vowed to bring down the U.S. government. Chavez, president of Venezuela, told a TV audience: "Enough of imperialist aggression; we must tell the world: down with the U.S. empire. We have to bury imperialism this century."

The guest on his television program, beamed across Venezuela, was Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar activist. Chavez recently had as his guest Harry Belafonte, who called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world"

Chavez is pushing a socialist revolution and has a close alliance with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

Regardless of your feelings about the war in Iraq, the issue here is that we have a socialist dictator vowing to bring down the government of the U.S. And he is using our money to achieve his goal!

The Venezuela government, run by dictator Chavez, is the sole owner of Citgo gas company. Sales of products at Citgo stations send money back to Chavez to help him in his vow to bring down our government.

Take Action

Please decide that you will not be shopping at a Citgo station. Why should U.S. citizens who love freedom be financing a dictator who has vowed to take down our government?

Very important. Please forward this to your friends and family. Most of them don't know that Citgo is owned by the Venezuela government.

Well, unfortunately, Citgo seems to be the cheapest as to gas but we still do not buy from them. The U.S. does not have many countries that like us other than England, Australia, Israel and Canada maybe. We do not have many allies. I would say we are the most disliked country, that is for sure.

Isn't it funny how nobody likes us except when it comes time to dole out foreign aid and when they are looking for a place to get an education or relocate to? :bang:

I think Barbados pretty much likes us as well :lol:

Right, and there is plenty of oil in England, Australia, Israel, Canada, and Barbados. :funn:

Again, this Citgo/Venezuela situation is only a symptom of the actual problem. The real problem lies with the fact that our politicians' pockets are lined with money from big oil and big motors.

Heck, buy gas anywhere in Walton County, and no matter who the retailer is, chances are that the gas came from a Citgo Terminal in Niceville or Panama City, so it's not like you can ever really avoid the company in these parts.

This is true. And the trucks refill at Murphy Oil in Freeport, so it's not even really Citgo then.

If it is a Chevron truck, they then zip around to the south side of Four Mile Creek to add the Techron...bottom line is, it is all the same.

However, we have started buying our gas at Chevron...filling up at the Tom Thumb at 331/98 drives me :pissed:

crazy anyway. I think they purposely turn off pay at the pump when they see me coming.

Excuse me for not reading this entire thread, but I have been to Venuzeula prior to Chavez's "dictatorship." Anything I can do to help that economy I will, including buying their oil. Truth is, every oil company has dirty laundry, and you might be surprised to learn about the malfeasances of any "westernized" conglomerate.
Citgo often has the lowest prices around so I AM THERE. We are all Americans by chance, you could have just as easily been born in some South American ghetto...wouldn't you want to push some oil then???
