U.S.-based oil firms such as Exxon Mobil, ChevronTexaco or ConocoPhillips, or others such as the Dutch-British Royal Dutch/Shell and the Spanish-owned Repsol YPF, together have more than $25 billion invested in Venezuela. PDVSA owns the U.S.-based Citgo chain of gas stations and refineries. This is the reason I don't use 7-11

Lie down with dogs and get fleas...
A good start would be to boycott Citgo. I don't believe I've ever gotten gas there.

This is nothing new. Didnt the Arabs do exactly the same thing? We find and drill for the oil then they take it?
Why dont they call Jimmy Carter to work this out , he and Chavez get along well.

Incredible but true. The thug has told us what he thinks of us and he intends to drive the point home. This thug has got to go.
