[CottonBear]

17. Mr. Rodriguez, the head of CITGO in NOLA.

Chavez is going to send us lots of gas plus extra heating oil for the poor. CITGO's giving LA a million dollars too!

[demo dutch]

18. Like I said brilliant move against Bush on the part of Chavez

[Nikki Stone 1]

14. Yes. It could only help

Maybe Oprah could come out too.

[CottonBear]

13. That made me feel better to hear that he is there & hear his voice. n/t

Now the head of CITGO (Venezuela) in NO is speaking (Mr. Rodriguez)

He's giving a million dollars and is "emotional and sentimental" and is talking about praying to God for support and how much CITGO values its relationship in the US and its connection to the US and NOLA and he will maintain supply to the US.

Jesse back on adressing $6/GALLON gas in Atlanta, GA.

Chavez is committed to send 66,000 gal per day of heating oil to the poor.
