Venezuelans Continue to Suffer Under Chavez

Once again, Hugo Chavez is hurting his people. The Venezuelan leader has instituted electricity rationing policies, with various punishments for those who dare violate Chavez’s rules.

I hope our federal government allows the building of nuclear power plants and domestic drilling very soon. Chavez is America’s fourth-largest supplier of oil, and by buying from his country we give him the economic power to continue to hurt millions of people.

I no longer own a vehicle- it’s not necessary in the DC area- but when I did I refused to buy from Citgo gas stations as the company is owned by the Venezuelan government. If millions of people in this country instituted that policy in their lives, the free market would help to break the back of Chavez’s dictatorship and give his country’s people the freedom they deserve as human beings.
