Venezuela's Political Disaster - November 3, 2006

Dear Journalists,

Chavez was his ordinary-boisterous and threatening self today in front of the press supporting the undemocratic speech of his Energy & Petroleum Minister intimidating oil workers to vote for Chavez as reported in the Union Radio link below:

Who has the authority to verify that Venezuelans indeed may have democratic elections? Are Venezuelans doomed to have more years with Chavez?

All the cooperation of good willing international organizations is urged to please allow democratic elections in Venezuela. Please do not have the Carter Center involved because Venezuelans do not trust the Center nor former President Jimmy Carter.

Cordially,
