HELENA, Mont. - CITGO Petroleum Corp. came to the rescue of thousands of American Indian families in the Great Plains this past winter with a donation that assisted with the cost of heating homes during a sometimes brutal winter season.

Help for the American Indians was specially requested by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

The Rocky Boy's Reservation in Montana, which received $141,000 from the Venezuelan corporation, sent an open letter praising Chavez for helping more than 500 families survive the cold.

Many reservation homes in the Great Plains were without power, propane or heating fuel at a time when the temperatures plummeted to below zero and winds drove the cold to more dangerous levels.

1. Gotta luv it!! In the most powerful and rich nation on Earth

the least economically secure fraction of the society is dependent upon the largess of foreign nations. We have evidently forgotten how to care for our own.

2. Didn't you get the memo? "Chavez is a Commie and way 'Too Lliberal'"

Besides them Injuns should'a just waited for Compassionate Conservatism to kick in.
