Valle de la Pascua 22.09.06 – Two of the most important cities of Venezuela´s Llanos saw impressive levels of support in rallies for opposition candidate Manuel Rosales. The first in San Juan de Los Morros and the second in Valle de la Pascua was, according to local resident Orlando Vale, the biggest rally the city had seen in many years. ¨What we saw today we hadn´t seen since the days of the first campaign of Carlos Andres Perez¨ said Vale, who added with emotion ¨and there are even more people today!¨

The rally started in a chavista neighborhood known as Las Garcitas. From there roughly a 3 km walk ended with an emotional speech in which Rosales appealed ... by assuring producers that the current policy of massive staple imports are to end as soon as he reaches power.

This government is decimating the country´s agricultural sector. Producers can not compete against a phenomenally wealthy administration that keeps on favouring foreign producers rather than Venezuelan ones¨ Rosales claimed.

The poor condition in which most access roads are was another issue celebrated by the locals. The most remarkable moments ... were when Rosales touched upon the right that those who have lived in and worked the land have with regards to its property. One of the pillars of Rosales´ ticket is to transfer the property of the land to its rightful owners ... for the current practice is to grant leases or sort of production rights -while the government maintains titles of ownership- ... Rosales is offering complete transfer of property to campesinos.

... I will put all of you to work by guaranteeing property rights within a legal framework that will encourage local and foreign private investment which will turn into jobs creation and wealth.

I hope and pray that Mr. Rosales has good security.

He needs prayers, for sure. He's got a bullseye on his back

A neighbor of mine is from there and he said everyone hates Chavez and that he will lose the election in early December. My neighbor also said they voted for Chavez 'cause they were tired of the two party system. But, now they regret electing him. BIG time!

Chavez spent a lot of time in France and reads a lot of French intellectuals.

That may explain his non-Americas derogatory slander of 'cowboys'. Either that or someone else wrote that entire diatribe for him. Gee I wonder what author that could have been ? Here is perhaps a good Jeopardy question. Bob, I will take plagiarism for $20. The answer is 'Hugo Chavez 2006 Speech to the UN General Assembly'. ...BUUZZZZ. The question is..... 'Name a plagiarized orally published text that Noam Chomsky has not claimed he was plagiarized on.' Oh I am sorry. That is an incorrect question. Hugo actually did make sure everyone saw the REAL authors name. No doubt for legal reasons !

Someone like that doesn't let go of power easily.
