Shunning Citgo


After Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez stood at the United Nations podium and called President Bush “the devil,” I determined that I would never purchase Citgo gas again.

Why? Because the refining company is wholly owned by Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela. Whenever Americans purchase gasoline at Citgo stations, portions of that purchase return to enable Chavez, a man who has vowed to take down the American government.

I am not willing to purchase gasoline — no matter how cheaply it may be being sold — from a company that is owned by a nation whose thuggish leader sneered at and mocked our president (while on U.S. soil, no less).

I was pleased to see that 7-Eleven recently decided to discontinue its association with Citgo at its 2,100 convenience stores. However, a reported 12,000 Citgo stations continue to operate nationwide.

Others are beginning to get sick of Chavez, as well.

After Chavez’ UN tirade, Gov. George Pataki (R-N.Y.) said, “This person has no right coming to our country to criticize our president.” Gov. Pataki said he would no longer buy Citgo gas.

The news in Venezuela is even more distressing when one considers that Hugo Chavez, who says America is preparing to attack his nation, is leading an arms buildup in the nation.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said earlier this week that neighboring countries are concerned by the buildup.

“I can understand neighbors being concerned,” said Mr. Rumsfeld.

I believe it’s time Americans do their part to cut off as much money as possible to Hugo Chavez and his regime. (Sadly, there are efforts by leftist groups urging their supporters to go out and purchase Citgo products.)

We need to show this crazed dictator that the American people will not tolerate his type of dangerous activities. The best way to accomplish this is to immediately discontinue purchasing Citgo gas.

I am urging the hundreds of thousands of subscribers to Falwell Confidential to join with me, and a growing number of Americans, in determining not to purchase Citgo

will go to the cheap gas station no matter what........

:nopity:

It resides in NY, but has nothing to do with the United States except its membership. I personally wish they would move that meeting out of America.

#2. Wasn't it just Falwell who was quoted saying Hillary Clinton is worse than the Devil.

#3. What is so bad about a state run oil company giving subsidies back to its people's. Personally, I wish more money came back to American's from the depleted sources big businesses steal from its land... Mining, water resources, oil, etc.

#4. Seriously, if you don't want to buy Venezualan oil, China will. And then you stupid Americans will buy the goods produced in China via Venezualan oil. Wake Up Freeper world.

If you really want to be American, support America.

deceit and obfuscation over climate change issues.

In addition, the thought of any of my money going to Lee "Fat Bastard" Raymond is far worse than the thought of it going to Chavez.

environmental disaster in 1989.

I don't have any Citgo stations near me, but I buy from them whenever I can.

go to really helping us. :sarcasm:

the bush administration is neither a friend of mine nor of america's.

Just a couple of days ago. Said just that. That those were the reason's I make a point to buy at Citgo.

always go Citgo. Besides, they sponsor the local college football team's broadcasts and everyone knows how popular University of Tennessee football is around here.

Citgo says GO!

:)

leader: maybe no nation should buy a drop or ounce of anything from a nation led by a sneering thuggish leader.
