Suppose an american wanted to write hugo chavez a letter...
would the FBI show up at my door, search my pad when I wasn't home, marvel at the fact that I haven't scooped the kitty poop only to send me to an undisclosed location for "questioning" later?


Where would I send it?

1. I thought the same thing
I wish we could some of the world leaders, Like Putin and Tony Blair, to chime in, this is such a disgrace. Putin did not seem to be very excited about standing next to * at the press 2 question conference.

3. From their embassy

"The only way that President Chavez gets your letter is having you send it to the Embassy and we will forward it directly by air mail. Thanks for your inquiry."

5. I doubt it. I wrote to the Soviet Union & East Germany when I was a kid
I read about some kid who had letters from all over the world. Basically, he just wrote to some head of state and their office replied with an aknowledgement letter. So, I thought I'd give it a try. I was about 10 I guess. Anyway, I wrote to everything I could see on my little map. You know, it's funny because this is before the internet and somehow I managed to come up with all the addresses. Now that I think about it, I have no idea how I did that!

So, I wrote to the USSR, DKP, France, West Germany, etc... I got all kinds of letters back. Sometimes they sent a little travel brochure. It was neat. My parents were like, "what the fuck?"

8. glad you brought this up
because I am now going to write a letter to him @ F**K IT if the FBI does anything.

Its about time we stopped being cowed by our own government. They are the criminals, & if they want to waste $ on chasing me around or intimidation of any type (which I doubt, they are just too overwhelmed by their own criminal activities & ineptitude on every level of operation)--- then I say

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm mad as hell & not going to take it any more! See you in Washington next week Agent Mike-- you are going to be REALLY OUTNUMBERED
