I could not agree more with this post! Today, January 10th 2012, it is cristal clear that the opposition and Venezuelans that do not support the regime are not capable of showing that what is happening is the worst constitutional violation ever! Venezuela is in he hands of Chavez and Cuba. It is time for Venezuelans to really show that they believe in democracy and freedom.
