    I've seen the commercials here in NY. It's a far better PR move than anything else he's done.

    Joe Kennedy runs this. Despite critics that claim that he should not accept Venezuelan oil, he's helping a lot of families.

    I'm not questioning his motivations in the matter.

    Isn't interesting that most (if not all) of those listed are Blue States? [​IMG]

    Chavez isn't doing this out of any sort of altruistic reasons - he knows his (potential) audience

    Hopefully, the heating oil is better quality than their gas.

    I have not filled up @ 7-11, which uses Citgo, in years. Its lousy.

    Does anyone know what it takes to qualify for this "gift"? I'd be interested to know.

    Vote for Joe Walsh and everyone gets free gas!

    In 1979, Walsh announced his campaign for President of the United States, promising "free gas for everyone" if he won (he didn't.) The Eagles' final studio album, the chart-topping The Long Run, appeared that same year.

    If you can't afford your own, I'm sure it works well enough.

    The Citizen's Energy site doesn't explicitly say what the requirements are, but the ads would say its living at the poverty level where you have to chose eat or heat.
