Cudo's to 7-11, now they need to fire all of their Venezuelan help.[:D]
But not all Venezuelans. Some of my favorite people are from Venezuela.
Magglio Ordonez
Carlos Guillen
Placido Polanco

wasn't Lucys husband Ricky Ricardo a venuezalean?
Not even close. He was Cuban.
Venezuelan government is sole owner of Citgo Oil Company
Venezuela Dictator Hugo Chavez has vowed to bring down the U.S. government. Chavez, president of Venezuela, told a TV audience: "Enough of imperialist aggression; we must tell the world: down with the U.S. empire. We have to bury imperialism this century."
The guest on his television program, beamed across Venezuela, was Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar activist. Also, Chavez recently had as his guest Harry Belafonte, who called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world."
Chavez is pushing a socialist (Marxist) revolution and has a close alliance with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Regardless of your feelings about the war in Iraq, or your feelings about our President and his political affiliation, the issue here is that we have a socialist dictator vowing to bring down the government of the U.S., and he is using our money to achieve his goal!
The Venezuelan government, run by dictator Chavez, is the sole owner of Citgo <http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO.jsp> Gas Company. Sales of products at Citgo stations send money back to Chavez to help him in his vow to bring down our government.
Take Action.
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?
Very important, please forward this to your friends and family. Most of them don't know that Citgo is owned by the Venezuelan government.
Effective March 1st 2006, Continental and Delta Airlines can not fly into Venezuela, and American Airlines flights are restricted.

don't you mean cooban
... China's looking for more oil sources ... it'd be easier for them than drilling off Cuba - which they are going to do directly - look out for higher gas prices if the Venezuelans
go their own way![8D]
Sure it will Zip, think about it -- aren't we a lot closer to the source than China? Costs more to ship, no matter who's paying the freight!
Besides, it's the principle of what 7-11's doing; they used to own Citgo -- and now are denying Chavez an outlet he has taken for granted.
I predict that more and more companies will distance themselves from that crazy. Pat Robertson got it right about Chavez.
Kinda tough and stringy.
I think I will go buy some gas at 7-11 as soon as they complete the switch just to show my support in their decision to drop citgo.
NOT! 7/11 is anti-gun [xx(]
