In an article Tuesday entitled "Boycotting Hugo Chavez", Political Advisor Dick Morris joins in the efforts.
In the article, Mr Morris states, "Yet a goodly proportion of his revenue comes from us when we buy our gasoline at a Citgo station. Why continue to subsidize the Chavez regime and its anti-American activity? That is a question each of us must answer each time we gas up."
Other points he makes on Chavez:
- "Your friendly neighborhood Citgo station is really the branch office of Venezuelan strong man Hugo Chavez's government"
- "In Nicaragua, he is backing former Sandinista dictator Daniel Ortega for president in the presidential election - and Ortega is likely to win. In Ecuador, he's funding the presidential candidacy of Rafael Correa, the frontrunner in recent polling."
- "Chavez sponsored and funded the election of leftist Evo Morales in Bolivia. And his endorsed candidates for president of Mexico and Peru - Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and Ollanta Humala - narrowly lost at the polls in elections this year. He has lent more than $1 billion to the leftist government in Argentina after it was shut off from IMF financing because of its default."
- "At home, he has gradually eroded civil liberties and now threatens to run the nation for the next 20 years."
