American Indian Nation Opposes Venezuela ‘Terrorist’ Resolution
Indian Country Today, Posted: Apr 09, 2008
INDIAN ISLAND, Maine – Penobscot Indians are leading the opposition to a congressional resolution to label Venezuela as a terrorist country.
Penobscot leaders say that House Resolution 1049 threatens to stop free heating oil that Venezuela has supplied to hundreds of American Indians and low-income people for the last three years. James Sappier, former Penobscot chief, said it was not true that the Venezuela government supports the Colombian guerrilla group, FARC, designated by the U.S. as a terrorist group. Sappier and others are urging tribes to contact their representatives to urge them to vote against the resolution.

Have you read the papers about the man? Or whats going on in that country?
He has threatened the USA several times, not including placing a embargo on the oil.
Personally I refuse to buy anything from Citgo.

How do we know Venezuela is a terrorist country? We can't pick a fight with half the world. Until we find alternatives, we need oil. Personally, I would like to know what it would cost to use a windmill for electricity. Probably couldn't afford it because my retirement ran out because of the current economic conditions. But I would like to know. Thanking you in advance.
