Good Afternoon!

We are smack dab right in the middle of August Recess. Members of Congress (MOC) are back in their districts, holding events and Town Hall meetings. This is our time to shine army! While the majority of the current Town Hall meetings are focusing on Health Care, other issues are covered as well. I would encourage you to attend your MOC Town Hall and ask them a few quick questions:

1. What is your plan to end our dependence on foreign oil?
2. If you don’t have a plan, do you support the Pickens Plan?
3. If so, would you sign the Pickens Pledge?
4. Are you a Co-Sponsor of HR 1835, “The Natural Gas Act of 2009?” It’s a vital piece of legislation that, for the first time, gives the right incentives for natural gas to become a viable transportation fuel alternative to foreign oil. It currently has 77 bipartisan Co-Sponsors in the House – split almost evenly between Republicans and Democrats.

To find out where your MOC is having their next Town Hall meeting, visit their website and email/call their office for more information. You can do that here: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml or by calling the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Also, don’t forget about your Senators! S 1408 is the sister bill of HR 1835 and we need to make sure all 100 members of the United States Senate have signed up as Co-Sponsors! You can check out where your Senators are having Town Halls in your area by emailing/calling their offices for dates and locations. You can do that here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm or by calling the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Together, we can end our dependence on foreign oil. But it is going to take all of us working together. The effort we put in today will give us the secure energy future we want for tomorrow!

I am home!

Tell me how well you did during the Virtual March...

Did you email your state reps? Your congressman? The President?...

Have you heard any noise about the Virtual March on your local or state news networks?

Please advise.

VIRTUAL MARCH DAY 2 - Boone Needs YOU

The Department of Energy has released the oil import figures for the month of March 2009. The data shows we imported 386 barrels at a cost of $18 billion. While we are importing less oil because of the recession, the percentage of oil we are importing is remaining disappointingly stable. The March numbers show we imported 65% percent of the oil we used.

Over the past 12 months, America has had to import nearly two-thirds of the oil we need. In 2008 that amounted to $475 billion dollars. Keep in mind, this is not a one-time payment like a stimulus package or a bail-out bill. This is an annual cost of over $400 billion per year.

CLICK HERE TO EMAIL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TODAY AND ASK THEM TO TAKE ACTION TO REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCY ON FOREIGN OIL.

As you know, today is the start of the Pickens Plan Virtual March on Washington. I included some messages below that you should feel free to use when trying to get friends and family to participate.

This is going to be my Facebook status over the next three days:

“Boone Pickens, Rock the Vote and I urged policy makers to pass energy legislation. You can too: http://tinyurl.com/c6b53s”

This is what I emailed my friends, family and neighbors – and then sent to all of my Facebook friends:

“Join me, Boone Pickens and Rock the Vote in telling Congress and the President: Help improve our environment, economy & bring us toward energy independence by passing energy legislation now! Be heard today! http://tinyurl.com/c6b53s”

April 1-3 is going to be an exciting time for the Pickens Plan and everyone involved! We have over 4.5 million people participating in this March with us. The more folks who contact Congress, the more impact we have on the debate.

For the first time in our nation’s history, we have millions of people converging on Washington, speaking with a unified voice, and demanding a viable, sustainable energy policy that ends our dependence on foreign oil.

It’s Go Time! Contact your member of Congress today!

Boone is counting on you. Visit http://www.pickensplan.com/virtualmarch/ today and let your voice be heard!

The Pickens Plan "tool", located by clicking the red image below, automatically composes a subject line and email for you AND...

Automatically locates and emails it to:
YOUR respective U.S. Senators,
YOUR U.S. House Representative,
and
YOUR President ( mine turned out to be Barack Obama ) lol

IN JUST 3 EASY STEPS!!!

It even automatically ads your name and contact info where it should go, worded the way Mr. Pickens suggested that it be.

We are a large region, spanning over many newspapers. So, I am going to ask all of you to email your local newspapers with a brief blurb about the upcoming Virtual March and this web site. Something like this one I sent today to the editor of Lockhart Post-Register
===========================================================

To the editor of Lockhart Post-Register,

I am a leader of Texas-25th Congressional District for the Pickens Plan on energy independence. I would like to submit the following for release before and as many times as possible for this march on Washington that is as important as any in our time.


We need to keep focused on any and all methodologies that will extricate us from the clutches of "foreign oil" ... and DEPENDENCE ON...foreign oil. How does that make you, a red blooded American, feel? How do you like to be DEPENDENT on anyone who hates your guts? It sticks in your craw doesn't it. What are you going to DO about it? We CAN become independent but it will require making some changes. We must begin generating our electricity with TRULY clean fuels like wind and solar the Pickens Plan calls for.

Op-Ed:

I have chosen to support the Pickens Plan for energy independence and urge you to do the same. Did you know we import almost 70% of our oil? This is sending Hundreds of Billions of Dollars overseas every year and creating the greatest risk to National Security in the history of this country. The time is now to break this dependency and develop our own sources of clean, renewable energy. Washington needs to know that we, the people of America, want this. On April 1st-3rd please join us, and 1.9 million others, in our virtual march on Washington where we will call and email our Representatives, Senators and the Whitehouse and make it known that we are ready to become energy independent. Please, join us at www.pickensplan.com. The time to act is NOW. Join this army of nearly 2 million and let us make a difference for America today and tomorrow.

Pickens Plan District Leader / Texas-25th Congressional District
