Weren't just about the same folks now calling for a boycott of CITGO
demanding that everybody smash all of their Dixie Chicks CD's a couple
of years ago? The DC's seem to be back stronger than ever now

Nope. The Dixie Chicks had to cancel numerous concert dates across this
country due to poor ticket sales, and replace them with concerts in Canada.





, and
whatever one might happen to think of GWB he is no better or worse
president as a result of Natalie's on-stage insult *or* the boycott by
furious GWB fans.

But here's a practical suggestion for you. I would suspect that, unlike
roadside filling stations, CITGO probably doesn't own very many of the
fuel docks. It would be more likely that the fuel docks are privately
owned and buy fuel from CITGO wholesale (so part of your money supports
an independent American small businessperson who probably votes a lot
like you do- see how complicated this can get?) If you have a privately
owned fuel dock selling CITGO fuel and you *really* feel strongly about
the situation, get up a petition signed by yourself and several other
people on the dock *requesting* that the fuel dock owner switch to a
different brand of fuel.


Why get a petition? He'll get the point more effectively when he sees
declining fuel sales.
