American corporations pay foreign countries for rights to extract oil, gas, and minerals from within their borders. Those governments have done nothing to regulate oil company practices that pollute the environment and otherwise endanger the lives of local residents.

The Bush administration, in their typically arrogant, misguided, neocon, "corporations-can-do-no-wrong" attitude, have turned a blind eye to how U.S. corporations (as representatives of our country) have done little to provide for the locals needs and security.

The security for these U.S. corporations are local military who use villagers as forced laborers and freely rape local women and children. U.S. corporations, stalwarts of democracy and human rights that they are, also turn a blind eye as long as they can keep their bottom line healthy.

Chevron has production arrangements with some of the worst human rights offenders. Anyone who purchases or otherwise provides an income to Chevron is facilitating their part in these human rights atrocities.

We need to boycott Chevron and all of their subsidiaries.

We protested against the Iraq War on the principle that there should be "No Blood For Oil". This situation is no different.
