ANOTHER ASPECT OF THIS GOVERNMENT IMPOSED SHUTDOWN WHICH PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO DISCUSS IS THE LOSS OF CIVIL RIGHTS.
AT FRIDAY’S PROTEST RALLY IN PASO ROBLES, AN IMMIGRANT FROM VENEZUELA TALKED ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER BY SOCIALIST DICTATORS AND WHY WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF CIVIL RIGHTS IN OUR COUNTRY, HIS NAME IS CARLOS AND HE HAD A MESSAGE FOR THE PROTESTORS.
CARLOS SAYS WE CAN LEARN FROM HIS EXPERIENCE. VENEUZUELA WAS ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST NATIONS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE WHERE CIVIL RIGHTS AND BASEBALL FLOURISHED. THEN, SOCIALIST DICTATORS TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY AND NATIONALIZED THE OIL OPERATIONS, MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THEMSELVES BUT DRIVING THE ECONOMY INTO THE GROUND. THE ECONOMY COLLAPSED AND SEVERE SHORTAGES OCCURRED. TO GET FOOD, MANY STARVING VENEZUELANS USED THEIR BASEBALL BATS TO KILL RATS TO EAT. CARLOS TELLING HIS STORY LAST FRIDAY TO THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE PROTEST AT THE DOWNTOWN CITY PARK IN PASO ROBLES.
