Boycott Citgo Gas

[Rambit]

I found this post over at www.srt10forum.com from this past March. Basically what it's saying is that Venezuela Dictator Hugo Chavez has vowed to bring down the U.S. government. This madman is the SOLE owner of Citgo. I'm not an American, but if I was I'd definately be boycotting this company.

I agree. I heard about this a while back and have been boycotting Citgo ever since. Thanks for reminding and informing, Rambit.

That discussion on srt10 forums is a reflection on one of those chain letters that make their way around the internet.

There are more than enough truths in the Urban Legend link to make me still want to boycott that company if I were American. I suggest everyone check this link out.

No easy solution and the owners of Citgo service stations are caught in the middle. Well maybe they'll have another coup down there. I say we boycott Harry Bellefonte now...haha, and send Cindy over to Iraq to live. She's used to living in a tent and could find a job herding goats in the desert.
