The Venezuela Solidarity Campaign/Alliance for Global Justice has become used to US corporate press stories that distort and lie about Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian revolution.

We cannot allow the lies, innuendos, and just plain pretentious nonsense in this article to go unanswered. The inaccuracies and outright lies – both great and small — are almost too numerous to list. Following are some talking points to help you write your own response. Responses can be posted at the end of the article on the web page or by email or postal service to:
