NBC Refuses Pickens Plan Ad

All,

Below is a letter from T. Boone to the army, about NBC's refusal of the latest Pickens Plan ad.

We're counting on all of you to send this letter to five close friends. If you encourage each of them to invite five of their friends, we'll be able to build enough momentum to get NBC to change their mind.

You can watch the video here.

Army:

NBC is refusing to run one of our strongest ads, and I need your help in showing NBC they can't control what we can or cannot say.

The 15-second ad talks about how the government of Iran is making a MAJOR effort to use natural gas in their vehicles so they can free up $120 a barrel oil to sell to us while we are doing nothing.

I need you to click on the link, watch the ad, then send it to five of your friends. Please ask each of those five people to send it on to five of THEIR friends.
This is important. Let me know what you think.

--T. Boone Pickens

I have seen the ad. Excellent. I live in a small community in E Tx and that is about all they are drilling for around here. Natural Gas Wells.

Mr Pickens has a Great Plan,I can understand why NBC wont run his ads could it be that they are owned by some overseas company?Just a thought on my part.But it dose make ya wonder why they wont rub his ads.

It enrages me that the media is always talking about freedom of speech, but then they go and decide what opinions they will allow to be aired. It should work both ways.

Time for an update in this ad issue...
Boone, we could use another ad about the need for Natural Gas that appeals to the US market. How can it be done? Simply by holding a CONTEST to get the idea across the entire country, and the grand prize will be 50, gasoline to CNG conversions, one for every state in the Union! By doing this, your BP resources group will get positive public approval, will grow the market, and will educate the public, about the safety, ease of use, and availability of pumps in their areas.
The feedback will identify market hot spots that can be advantaged by the Army, via investment opportunities, and you can sell more Natural gas, as the market naturally rises from the national advertisement of the Picken's Plan and the opportunities of the free market, both for sellers of local NG stations, Sellers of Cars and Trucks with NG/CNG capabilities, and personal sales of related products by state and local businesses. This will in turn refuel the value of your stock, allowing you to reinvest for future ads. It is a circular business plan that will work...Gregory Smith gregors@att.net
