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.
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?
Alert friends and family; most of them probably don't know that Citgo is
owned by the Venezuela government.

YOU CAN VERIFY THIS ON THE CITGO WEB PAGE.

I'm not clear on why Chavez bothers you. His speeches are no different than
Bush's. "Bring it on!" Remember? He is complicit in the murder of 2712 of
our soldiers, while blissfully ignoring the Afghanistan-Pakistan border
area, where the real problems lie.
