Dear Congressman Kennedy:
I am both angry and saddened that we have to write we again to titillate that we immediately stop your new ad campaign in support of Venezuelan world-class tyrant Hugo Chavez, a male who suppresses a simple tellurian rights of his people and has a vital troops fondness with Iran that threatens a confidence of a U.S. in a possess backyard. Using a nation's bad and disadvantaged as domestic collection to allege a means of Hugo Chavez is shameful.
Given a tighten ties of Hugo Chavez to a supervision of Iran, your means usually furthers a destabilization of a Middle East and a reserve of Israel as Chavez is one of a largest providers of polished gasoline to a supervision of Iran.
Subsidizing a nation's impoverished with hurtful petroleum is conjunction a prolonged tenure mercantile nor a inhabitant confidence resolution a republic needs.
Instead, we should join with me in advocating for a building of a Keystone XL pipeline, that would discharge any need to for America to squeeze oil from Venezuela. Keystone not usually would yield America with oil from a fan Canada, though also yield an evident 20,000 private zone jobs to a frail economy.
Only we can answer a doubt as to because we continue a pro-Chavez campaign: for a money, for a longing for a spotlight? we would suppose there would be many avenues during your ordering to assistance a needy instead of allying yourself with Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Hugo Chavez is currently shipping dual cargoes of gasoline per month to Iran in approach defilement of Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Disinvestment Act of 2010, so in outcome what your debate purports to do is spin a blind eye to U.S. law and use a increase of a sale of gas to Iran to account your pro-Chavez debate and line your pockets. This is positively not a Profile In Courage.
The American people and we anxiously wait your finale of a pro-Chavez debate and instead ancillary a construction of a Keystone XL pipeline.
Sincerely,
CONNIE MACK
Chairman, Western Hemisphere Subcommittee
