From 1958 to 1998 two political parties dominated and controlled the Venezuelan political scene. For the most part of those 40 years Venezuela was considered a model and stable democracy. However, it was all an illusion.

Since December of 1998, there have been a total of 14 major elections in Venezuela. Hugo Chavez and his supporters have won 13 times, 12 of them consecutively. His opponents have won only one. They claimed they won the last one also but that is a matter of interpretation. In any case, there is one significant fact in these elections: the Venezuelan people have elected Chavez as their President in three consecutive occasions. And that is besides his victory in the presidential recall referendum.
Certainly, there have been accusations of election fraud in Venezuela. However, all of them are unjustified. Simply put, Mister President, there are two telling facts about the “election frauds” in Venezuela. One is that the opposition considers fraud all the elections they have lost. The other one is that they consider legitimate only the two they say they have won. You can make your own conclusions.

I really believe that change has come to America. Just fifty years ago, anybody that looked like you was not allowed to sit in the front seat of a public bus. Now, you are the President! I celebrate that. Take advantage of this historical opportunity and make it also a change for the rest of the world. Stop supporting the minority in Venezuela and every where else as President Bush did.
Mister President, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a democracy. Hugo Chavez is our chosen President. Lend your support to the Venezuelan government, support democracy, support the majority of the Venezuelans.
