Citgo Pulling Out

[Stonewall2002]

IMHO, I have a hard time watching a BASS event on television and have not paid any membership fees in some time because of the CITGO sponsorship. CITGO is controlled by the Venesualan government which is second only to Cuba in this hemisphere in their anti-Americanism. Their president, Hugo Chavez, is a socialist thug and I refuse to help line his pockets with American Dollars, even if its in an indirect manner. I wish that BASS would wake up and smell the coffee and look for another sponsor. If they leave, I say good ridance.

Keep on Chuckin.

P.S. I hope that this dosnt get deleted for its political content.

Mr. Stonewall you took the words right out of my mouth. Good ridance is right and don't let the door hit you in your Arse Chavez.

There's an article about FLW and BASS and where there are with the oil companies on bassfan.com . Sounds like FLW might land BP and CITGO is slowly leaving the US which would limit there exposure for BASS.
