PickensPlan

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

Typical media doing what they think is best for the public.
The media is run by special interests and not in the public interest.
Lets protest NBC by telling them we are not going to watch they programing.
I just went to the main NBC website and emailed them that I will not be watching their stations.
Writing to NBC is good. Also, complaining to the FCC (the gov't agency who licenses the airwaves to them) can be effective. To submit a complaint go to the webpage below and complete the form.

Networks and TV stations hate this because each complaint about them is officially logged and used when they try to get re-licensed.
Great idea - I will do the same.

Pickins is heavily invested in the motor maker & the lng co. . What is the co's name & ticker tape symbol ?.
My sense is that we will waste a great deal of time and effort unless we embark on an action plan which is coherent and relatively easy to participate in for the average american family. I would not waste my time at this point on talking with the networks, I would instead focus on the practical reality of getting the average american to participate in an energy saving or alternative energy generating application. I don't know if any exist but what about an affordable, simple to install, home wind turbine that is reasonably priced which has a cash payback in 2-3 years, or solar array with the same qualities. If we all can get going and realize that this is not difficult or overly expensive then the idea will catch on with the average americans attention and participation. Are subsidizes available for these small private systems. If these systems are not available, why not fund research into the development of these or some other systems where new IP can be developed so that we can all participate. Imagine 100 million participants, all generating small amounts of alternative energy. We do not generate hot water for our homes on a large scale but instead by millions of individual hot water heaters. Why not millions of simple to purchase and install systems that generate fully or subsidize existing systems that can be legislated to be installed in all homes and buildings throughout the US?

Come on lets get going! Is there such a fund which can be accessed by small or large companies or individuals that can be used to generate ideas for possible mass production that can be applied by the millions throughout the US? Where does one currently go with alternative energy or energy saving ideas?

Also, the utilization of mass production has always propelled America through crisis and change - lets set up a system whereby all american families can afford to participate then sit back and watch a miracle happen - once again!

Mr. Pickens, name is george ruby, I have been trying for the past 3 years to convince anyone to look
at natural gas as an energy for Transportation vehicles, what you are doing is something that i could
never accomplish. I also believe that natural gas is RENEWABLE and I also believe that we have
more natural gas in the USA and the world than anyone ever believed. Energy is our number ONE
Problem, but just as important is that sooner or later we will have to look at a new way of doing
business not only in this country, but the world. Would love to send you what I call the New World
Business Plan to read and comment. Keep up your good work, we the average american
supports you and your efforts.
I was puzzled when I received the letter from T. Boone on August 31st when I had earlier found this:

NBC, the Pickens Plan, and the Army

On Wednesday the Pickens Plan Army engaged in a battle against NBC.

The network had refused to run our 15-second ad talking about how Iran–IRAN–is moving quickly to CNG-powered vehicles so they can free up their oil to sell it to us at $120 per barrel.

Guess what: We won the battle!

By Wednesday evening, NBC had re-examined its position and told us they WOULD allow our ad to run in its original form.

...........

The Wednesday evening being referred to was August 27th and this discussion was started that same evening.

Curious....what is the current status with this?
Hello ! Senator Meeks asked students to boycott first day of school to call attention to school funding inequities ! Saveourschoolsnow.com ! Inner city schools need your support ! It's an American catharis ! Roger that ! Salem Baptist Church in Chicago ! "The federal government can not require a state or a school district,:to spend funds or incur any costs not paid under this act." NCLB ! US COURT OF APPEALS for the 6th district ! 10% funding didn't work so well but we are in the process of re-authorization. Are the copy machines working today ? Do the students have enough books,paper and pencils ? "Ain't no mountian high enough !" Read Chicago Sun Times for updates ! Did NBC open lines of communications for Energy Independence and National Security ?
Whew! Until that last line you had a great non sequitur going for you.
Sending this to friends is easy, but how does this change NBC's mind? We need to have a way to reach NBC and make them support this plan. How about a website or name to forward our views to? Also, we need to be forwarding support for the plan to congress.
What a great Idea you thave their ,more Please !
lol, those are all promotional videos trying to get your money. As the old saying goes "A fool and his money are soon parted."
