Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, after delivering a speech at the UN in which he insulted President Bush and the US, offered to provide millions of dollars of oil to poor Alaskans. Many of the Alaskan villages have accepted the offer, but many others have rejected it, to send a message to Chavez about their patriotism and loyalty.
Does anyone know how I (and others) can send a contribution to those villages that have bravely declined Chavez's offer? Thank you.

I do not know the correct answer to this question, but I can tell you for certain where NOT to send it. Joe Kennedy. Rep.Joe Kennedy is conspiring with Hugo Chavez to bring communism to MA. Well, I suppose that with MA, there was a considerable head start before Hugo Chavez!

Hugo is trying to show that rich countries use OIL for $$ while he uses oil to help his people. If he can do it, in other words, why dont' we (lower prices).
Because the oil companies in the West would lose BILLIONS. See, sadly, the economy is more important than the citizens/people. It's as though the corporations and other non-human entities are the COW BOYS for the elite in the West at the expense of mom/pop and single-mom who need to drive to work. MONEY over humans.
Go Hugo Go, show the west how to have some HEART and GUTS.
But watch your back Hugo, they'll probably blow your head off and/or fund some dumb pricks in your country to do it; then we'll all celebrate in church and should "All hail democracy"

Your question is somewhat baffling to me as my understanding is that Alaskans do not pay state income tax, they get a rebate through resource extract fees.
On the Chavez part of the question, I'd love to get him to send oil to "poor Americans" which we could stockpile in the event of real trouble with OPEC in the future.

many circumstances. when I first began status up for myself, those i became status up hostile to, would continually tell me that I stay in my personal little international and that i have a tousled memory... no remember if I had information or no longer. yet finally I discovered to stroll far flung from those who reject my actuality. Now... the purely human being who rejects it really is me... yet it really is purely even as i'm having a really undesirable day
