1 Whoa looks like the FBI should lok into this or maybe the State Dept should it sound serious that americans could be construbting to a potential enemy and screw jimmy carter

2 trackback isn't working

3 Richard-- I'm just the night manager. I can't get into the vault.

4 No problem, I'm a fellow JR poster but don't have a key either.

5 Hugo Chavez....another castro in the making...mini-me you can say....Fidel must be so proud of his creation....why does it seem so many South American and Central American countries have such a huge problem with ruling themselves peacefully???...always has to be so many overthrows and dictators and , well, such a freakin mess...i guess they just like it that way...and than they bring their problems here...time to mine the border

6 Gosh, I never thought of just mining the border. Now that's a great idea. I suggest bouncing bettys and trip-set cluster bombs. For large groups, perhaps an occasional MOAB would serve to discourage crossing into our country.

7 well its either mines or a piranah filled moat Rich...which would you prefer to keep out illegals who might and do bring in diseases and the terrorists with bombs???...i kind of like the moat...self feeding

8 You can't boycott Citgo. Half of the fuel in Lake Charles LA is refined at the Citgo refinery. Do you know where the fuel you bought at the Texaco station this morning was bought? No you don't. In New Orleans only the Mobil and Murphy gas refineries are shut down. Motiva is awaiting power and personel to get back on line but in the mean time there is no fuel for any stations that normally get their loads from this area. Refineries and loading racks sell fuel that gets additives blended as it loads to make it that branded fuel you put in your tank.

9 " Still, a widespread boycott could bring the share price down low enough that an American interest can buy it back." Is it even publicly traded?

10 See-Dubya; Either you did your homework or you're revealing your age with the knowledge about Citgo once being Cities Service. I'll point out my age and tell you that the Mobil gas stations where I lived all used to be Sinclair (the dinosaur logo) and gas, when I was 10 years old, was $.22 a gallon. Cigarettes were $.28 and a loaf of bread was about a quarter. My dad used to send me to the corner store to buy his Pall Malls for him when I was in 6th grade.

11 Of the top oil producing countries in the world, only one is a democracy with a president who was elected on a platform of using his nation's oil revenue to benefit the poor. The country is Venezuela. The President is Hugo Chavez. Call him "the Anti-Bush." Citgo is a U.S. refining and marketing firm that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company. Money you pay to Citgo goes primarily to Venezuela -- not Saudi Arabia or the Middle East (if you buy from texaco or other american owned oil company). There are 14,000 Citgo gas stations in the US. By buying your gasoline at Citgo, you are contributing to the billions of dollars that Venezuela's democratic government is using to provide health care, literacy and education, and subsidized food for the majority of Venezuelans. Instead of using government to help the rich and the corporate, as Bush does, Chavez is using the resources and oil revenue of his government to help the poor in Venezuela. A country with so much oil wealth shouldn't have 60 percent of its people living in poverty, earning less than $2 per day. With a mass movement behind him, Chavez is confronting poverty in Venezuela. That's why large majorities have consistently backed him in democratic elections. And why the Bush administration supported an attempted military coup in 2002 that sought to overthrow Chavez. So this is the opposite of a boycott. Call it a BUYcott. Spread the word. Of course, if you can take mass transit or bike or walk to your job, you should do so. And we should all work for political changes that move our country toward a cleaner environment based on renewable energy. The BUYcott is for those of us who don't have a practical alternative to filling up our cars. So get your gas at Citgo. And help fuel a democratic revolution in Venezuela.
