Others are
beginning to get sick of Chavez, as

Gov. Pataki said he would no longer buy Citgo

“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

activities. The best way to accomplish
this is to immediately discontinue purchasing Citgo
gas.
I am you to join with me, and a growing number of Americans, in determining
not to purchase Citgo .
