Got this sent via email, any validity?

Subject: Citgo Changing Name
Worth reading!
Subject: CITGO CHANGING NAME...this is serious Americans...make sure you read this e-mail

NEWS FLASH:
Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin.
The RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in
Venezuela, to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups throughout
the Americas.
Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for him.
It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has
Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed
at: Guess Who?
CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to PETRO EXPRESS due to
the loss of gasoline sales in the USA due to the recent publicity of
ownership by Chavez of Venezuela.

Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be used
against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will start wars
here in the Americas that will probably be the death of millions of free
people.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of
revenue from his holdings.
HE NATIONALIZED (took it) CITGO. This is a very important move that everyone should be aware of.
ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY, CITGO, BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO U.S.
CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM "CITGO-CHAVEZ", HAVE STARTED TO CHANGE
THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: "PETRO EXPRESS"
DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!!
"PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100% CONTROLLED BY "CHAVEZ."
KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
BOYCOTT "CITGO" AND "PETRO EXPRESS".............MAKE SURE THIS IS PASSED ON
TO EVERYONE YOUR YOUR E-MAIL LIST IN THE UNITED STATES AND OUTSIDE OF
AMERICA
TIME TO DRAW THE LINE IN THE SAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is totally bogus. Petro Express is one of our customers where our work (we do software for C-stores)-- they were recently acquired by The Pantry (who operates Kangaroo Express convenience stores). They are phasing out the Citgo brand and are switching to something else.

This is just BS to push a cause.

[Vlyrock]

By the way, Petro Express is a store name, not a brand of gas. CITGO, SHELL, TEXACO, EXXON, MOBIL, etc are brands of gas.

Even though the email is bogus don't buy gas from Citgo. Don't support South American communist dictators.

Petro-Express is an American company that now refuses to do business with Citgo. They should be supported.
