Subject: Citgo becomes Petro Express: Boycott Urged
To:


Subject: : Verified with SNOPES







[blockquote]We all need to stay informed! SCARY - Read ALL in this email!!!

Verified with SNOPES--this is unnerving

AT A CITGO STATION RECENTLY REGULAR WAS PRICED AT $2.82 PER GALLON BUT
HAD NO CUSTOMERS.
HOWEVER ACROSS THE STREET IT WAS SELLING FOR $2.85 PER GALLON AND
ALL PUMPS HAD CARS WAITING TO FUEL. HERE'S WHY!!!!

Have you noticed how the Citgo signs have been disappearing in the past
7-8 months?
Very clever move by Chavez. But guess what...........
CITGO IS CHANGING ITS NAME...this is serious Americans...make sure you
read:

NEWS FLASH:

Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin. The
RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in
Venezuela , to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups
Throughout the Americas.
Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for
Him. It is likely only a matter o
f time, if not already, before Chavez
Has Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types
Aimed at: Guess Who?

CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to PETRO EXPRESS due to
The loss of gasoline sales in the USA due to the recent publicity of
ownership by
Chavez of Venezuela .

Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be
Used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will
Start wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of
millions.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of
Revenue from his holdings. HE OWNS CITGO.
This is a very important move that everyone should be aware of.

ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY, CITGO, BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO
U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM "CITGO-CHAVEZ", HAVE STARTED TO
CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: "PETRO EXPRESS"
DO NOT BUY FRO
M "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!!
"PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY "CHAVEZ."

KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.

BOYCOTT "CITGO" AND "PETRO EXPRESS"

PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS IS PASSED ON TO EVERYONE ON YOUR E-MAIL LIST IN THE
UNITED STATES AND OUTSIDE OF AMERICA[/blockquote][/align]

This isn't exactly true (I read the report on snopes.com). Petro Express is a private US company that used to sell Citgo gas, but they are phasing it out. This is a quote from Snopes...

"Both Circle K and Petro Express are privately-owned chains of convenience stores, the former an international property of Quebec-based Alimentation Couche-Tard, and the latter based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Neither is owned by Citgo or the Venezuela government. Although Petro Express outlets did sell Citgo gasoline, the company announced in October 2006 that the chain was phasing out sales of Citgo Petroleum Corp. gasoline and by 2007 would no longer be vending the brand.

It is not uncommon for independent stations and chains to switch fuel suppliers from time to time. Occurrences of independents' dropping Citgo in favor of other suppliers are often misinterpreted by the public as attempts on Citgo's part to "switch names" in order to fool consumers into continuing to purchase Citgo gasoline. "

We COULD finish it real fast, but after the last 4 years or so in Iraq...I really don't believe that we WOULD.. We aren't badazz enough to go in an do what needs to be done. The Politicians are wimps and refuse to untie the hands of our military

This is NOT a slam on our fighting forces...its not thier fault that the politicians are ignorant.

Citgo refineries are in the USA. The employees are Americans. The largest part of the income is staying in the USA. I will buy Citgo products if they cost less than the other foreign oil products.

I cut my Citgo Credit Card in half months ago and then burned it. That butt head can kiss my azz andI would'nt **** on his head if it was on fire. People who continue to buy his product are blind to the amount of damage that Di*k Head will do toour country in the long run.
