In the United States, we are especially asking for people to CALL EXXON MOBIL'S CORPORATE OFFICE on March 3rd and demand an end to the freeze of PDVSA's assets.We're asking communities to participate in the week of actions in a variety of ways. We've prepared a leaflet--( please go to VSN website to download)--that people can pass out as an educational tool, and to build for the call-in day on March 3rd.The phone number (Irving, Texas), is (972) 444-1000.Below is the text of the International Call to Action:Following is the text of the call to action being sent out internationally:US/Exxon - Hands off Venezuela - STOP ExxonMobil's THEFT FROM THE POORSupported by Australia Venezuela Solidarity Network, Venezuela Solidarity Network (USA), Venezuela Aotearoa Solidarity Network (New Zealand), Hands Off Venezuela-Internati onalAn international week of protest to:* Support the Venezuelan government's efforts to defend and extend the Venezuelan people's common ownership and control over Venezuela's natural resources, and defend the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela's right to assert its social, political and economic sovereignty. * Condemn ExxonMobil's economic blackmail against Venezuela and call for it to immediately withdraw its legal campaign against PDVSA. * Reject as illegitimate and immoral the British, US and Dutch courts' order to freeze PDVSA's assets. Only Venezuela, through its own courts and in accordance with its own Constitution, has the right to decide the ownership and control of the resources in its territory. So-called "international arbitration" on Venezuela's resources via courts in the First World countries is colonialism.* Stand in solidarity with the protest actions of Venezuela's people, trade unions and social organisations against ExxonMobil and the US government's economic and political thuggery, and commend the words of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: "They will never rob us again, those bandits of ExxonMobil".To add you organisation or name to the call, send an email to:jodybetzien@ venezuelasolidar ity.orgTo add your name to the Sign on Statement to Exxon, go to this link:http://venezuelasol idarity.org/ ?q=node/2397
