What is this Virtual March all about? It's banding together in a common goal, at a set time to show just how many people are determined to move this country forward in the drive to end our use of foreign oil. There are huge numbers involved in this drive, and we need to make sure that marginally interested citizens and members of our government and infrastructure are aware of that. This isn't a few disgruntled people, it's a large portion of the population with a well conceived plan. April 1 - 3 we are forming a cadre of people and activity to show our intent. We won't have feet on the ground in D.C. but will be using our voice and the power of our numbers to drive home this intend: We need powerful energy legislation to stop our use of foreign oil.In order to accomplish that we are incorporating as many individuals and companies to join our voice.
Do you know someone who will join our campaign?
Can you approach a company to take a part?
Will you help write or talk to our district, state and federal legislators and local media about this issue?

Let's see what each and everyone of us can do to make this issue so prominent that it has to be considered. Our real power is in our numbers and the diversity of talent we bring to this topic.

We're finally here! The new Administration and Congress have been sworn in. Legislation is perking up everywhere. We will soon have legislation promoting the Pickens Plan. We have been working the past seven months for this - the next 100 days!

We need everyone's help.

If you haven't already, please host a meeting among the District group to see how your district can keep moving the Pickens Army forward.

Please continue to recruit new Members. Members have found success (and new acquaintances) by setting up a table in front of a store such as Wal-Mart or at a local park.

Write an op-ed or letter-to-the-editor to your hometown newspaper. Send that op-ed or letter to ALL the papers in your district.

Send a note to your Member of Congress that you want them to support the Pickens Plan when it becomes legislation.

And please report what you have done. A weekly report gets sent to Boone with figures such as how many op-eds and letters to the editor have been submitted, published, meetings held, etc. He follows our district activities every week.

Hi CA-52,

Please take a moment and introduce yourself and let your fellow district members know how you are able to help your district leader, Tim, achieve our district goals:

- recruit 500 new members
- get letters to the editor and op-eds published in local media
- contact elected officials and get them to sign the Pledge

Welcome again. I look forward to everyone's support. Together we will make the Pickens Plan reality.

Also, if you have contacted your Member of Congress or Senators, submitted an op-ed or letter to the paper, please let me know about it. Thanks.

I encourage you to attend the San Diego International Auto Show, December 31 - January 4.

Ask the manufacturers when they are going to bring CNG cars to the American market. Given the current situation with the auto manufacturers, this is a great time to ask the question.
