I had the same thought, but it's treaties they're not allowed to sign, not business deals. Nevada's frmr. Gov. Miller a few years back went to Mexico to work on a tourism deal something or other.

States are allowed to cut their own deals with foreign governments? How is that constitutional?Comment

Yeah, but one of the few things that the Constitution says that states cannot do is conduct foreign policy. It sounds like a state has just negotiated a private arrangement with a sovereign foreign power. I'm really surprised that's allowed.Originally posted by Zkribbler

I am a latin american lefty populist
but poverty has actually increased during the chavez government, he is not a good administrator
venezuela is blessed with lots of oil, and the prices are ridiculously high now, he should be spending the money in venezuela investing in education, science, why not some mega projects, like dams, you know those things, but he wastes his money in propaganda crap like this.
he has a great chance to do great things for venezuela, he has the money, dont waste it doing this to irritate the americans, or giving castro free oil, or buying bad argentine bonds to be latin americanist friendly.I need a foot massageComment

It's a 40% discount (from $2.00/gallon to $1.20), available at local Citgos only. The Citizens Energy Corp is a non-profit co-op who currently has a large number of agreements with local small businesses, people who supply the local residents with oil. According to the Left, this is apparently how the co-op model works, with government helping small businesses stay small.
Do me a favor. Click on the above link, then click on "Oil Heat Program", then click on "Oil Dealers." See those smiling faces, those small business owners with their shiny new truck, the epitome of the American dream? See that list of over three hundred small business owners, people who sell already-subsidized heating oil to middle and low-income families?
Well, Bill Delahunt just ****ed them over to the tune of a 40% discount given to a Communist multi-national so he can make a statement about the Iraq war. Good going, Bill! That's "protecting your own"!

If you dont like Chavez, you will not like Evo Morales once he becomes president of Bolivia.
Although you may find him hilarious
"
Thanks to Pachamama, Mother Earth, thanks for the Coca Plant.
We, Aymaras and Quechuas, original nations of the Andes, have survived the onslaught of the white man until today thanks to our coca leaf. From the moment the white man came to our land he has tried to control our leaf for his own enrichment. He has abused it here and now he is abusing it everywhere else. Since it has escaped his control he is intent on destroying it.
He has labeled our sacred plant a drug, to be prohibited and eliminated under universally binding drugs conventions. With these conventions the United Nations have offended and betrayed the Aymara and Quechua Nations.
Under the cover of these conventions and after impoverishing our people with their neoliberal policies, the United States government, foremost enemy of the Indians, has used its dollars to bribe the officials of Bolivia, corrupt its institutions and pit white Bolivians against us. Recently the United States Embassy in La Paz has funded a mercenary force with orders to eliminate the coca plant and the Indians defending it.
Coca is not a drug!
This lie has to be called. The moment has come for us to stop the menace of anihilation of the coca plant and our communal ways of living.
The coca plant has sustained us through all adversities until today and we will strive, with all our might and with her help, to thwart the white man's wicked plans.
Like other plants coca is a medicine, a holy plant. Thanks to coca we have withstood the untold sufferings brought upon us by the white man's unholy war on drugs.
Therefore, the United Nations should respect our coca leaf and take it off their prohibitive lists.
Therefore, the United States should get all their drug war personel and equipment out of Bolivia. They have abused their stay. Let them go home to fight their own countries drug war.
Therefore, the white men should stop their war on drugs and accept that we live peacefully with the coca plant. They should consider reports from Harvard University, their most cherished academic institution, about the beneficial uses of our plant.
But this will not come about without our active intervention. We have to rise to the occasion.
The moment has come for the original nations to take power in our own hands.
The moment has come for us to redeem the coca plant.
We have learned to treat the plant with respect and she has generously rewarded us
From now on we will no longer tolerate any foreign powers harming our plant. We will be her sovereign guardians.
Those nations that accept this will be our friends. We will help them treat its abuse.
Those that will continue to repress our plant will be our enemies and the predictions of sickness and misery proferred by our yaquiris, as recorded by legend, will certainly befall them.
As long as the American invader fights us, we, the original nations, won't forget our war cry, born from the pain of our people:
Causachun coca! Wañuchun yanquis!
Long live coca! Yankee go home!
!
YANKEES GO HOME
