Pawtucket shelter gets heating help from Kennedy effort

U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy joins his cousin Joseph Patrick Kennedy II, a former Massachusetts congressman, today to present a check for heating assistance at a Pawtucket shelter.

Citizens Energy, run by Joseph Kennedy, provides heating oil to families living in poverty and shelters. Today the organization will present the New Hope Shelter with a check to help cover electricity and natural gas costs.

New Hope caters to families in Central Falls and Pawtucket. Last year almost 50 families spent time at the shelter.

Citizens Energy was founded in 1979. Its biggest crude oil supplier is CITGO, the national oil company of Venezuela.

The announcement is scheduled for 11:30 at the New Hope Shelter, 4 Branch St., Pawtucket.

Joe Kennedy actually believes that the oil he gets from Venezuelan dictator Chavez really IS "from the people of Venezuela." The people of Venezuela have no more say over that oil than you or I do. It is completely controlled by a an oppressive government that allies itself with supporters of terrorism.
