"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
Back in 2009, Pres BO turned his back on the people of Iran. They rose against the regime over a stolen election but Pres BO went mute.
Today, people in Venezuela will vote in the most important election in recent US-Latin America history.
On one side, Hugo Chavez is running for reelection by rigging the elections. He does not have a record. He has mismanaged Venezuela and destroyed a country. He has also stuck his nose in elections all over. He is keeping the Castro dictatorship afloat with oil subsidies. Last, but not least, he has developed friendships with characters in Iran, Syria and every other anti-US corner in the planet.
On the other side, Henrique Capriles represents a candidate who believes in free markets & focusing on making Venezuela a better country. Pres Capriles will not interfere in elections or use the nation's "petro-dollars" to create anti-US relationships.

We will sit back and watch Venezuelans vote on Sunday.
The good news is that people will vote. The bad news is that the Chavez regime has rigged things to such an extent that fraud may actually be the real winner.
Nevertheless, I am optimistic because Venezuela is a country desperately in need of change and honest leadership.
Hugo Chavez has been a disaster. He has mismanaged the nation's resources. He has interfered in other countries' elections, such as Bolivia, Peru and even Mexico.
Hugo Chavez represents a threat to Colombia, a friend recovering from war and slowly turning itself into a real success story in Latin America. (We thank Pres Uribe for his courageous leadership)
Hugo Chavez has invited Iran, and some of the world's worst elements, into the country. This is a disaster for Venezuela and a direct threat to the national security of the US.
Last, but not least, Hugo Chavez is the latest "sugar daddy" of Cuba's corrupt and failed dictatorship. (It would be more appropriate to say "oil daddy" since the Chavez regime maintains Cuba with cheap energy)
We encourage our friends in Venezuela to support Sr. Henrique Capriles-Radonski, an alternative to the crony capitalism, corruption and mismanagement of the economy.
