Joe Kennedy and Citizens Energy

I was visiting family in New York over the holidays, when I saw an advertisement by Joe Kennedy and Citizens Energy.  They provide discount heating oil to the poor and elderly households in 23 states.  While wages have remained stagnant, oil prices have increased.  It is a financial burden on these family, who have to choose between heating their homes or buying food.  I find the program laudable, but it interesting who supplies the oil - Venezuela!  American oil companies are making record profits and continue to receive tax subsidies but will not donate oil to this program.  I find it appalling that Citgo, an Venezuelan company is the only donator.
