My electric bill has been jumping between $180 & $300 per month and we're not even there! Fuel surcharges I'm told... we gotta do something!

Greetings:

Across the United States, we have seen what ordinary citizens can accomplish. A number of elected officials are supporting the Pickens Plan because their constituents asked them to.

There are a number of crucial elements of the Pickens Plan which are now before Congress. The Pickens Plan is a comprehensive effort to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. We want to stop the hundreds of billions of dollars from flowing to foreign governments and keep it in the United States and recycled through OUR economy.

Please reach out to your elected officials and ask them to support:

- Incentives to build out our clean, and renewable domestic energy production capability especially wind energy in the Great Plains and solar energy in the Southwest;
- A 21st Century electricity transmission grid to move that energy from where it is produced to where it is needed;
- A national Renewable Energy Standard so utilities, producers, and consumers can plan on a system-wide scale rather than dealing with confusing and contradictory state-by-state regulations;
- Strong incentives to refit older homes and commercial buildings and to outfit new construction to increase energy efficiency. Energy we don’t use is energy we don’t have to import.
- Leadership in increasing the use of DOMESTIC natural gas especially in heavy trucks – 18-wheelers – and fleet vehicles which are used in a local or regional area and go back to the same central facility each night. Express delivery trucks, buses, refuse and recycling trucks and campus/municipal vehicles are examples.

Legislation on all of these items is currently moving through the House and Senate. Now is the time to get it done. Please write, call, email, FAX or make any appointment to meet your representatives today!

Please take action by clicking HERE.

Hi Islanders,

Let's get some organized ARRA initiative going... With WAPA charging what it does, we should be able to get some traction...

BTW, this ids the new logo that we'll be seeing more of:


The Light is Green!

I am excited to introduce you to your District Leader--Emmett Hansen II. Emmett will be responsible for directing specific actions of the group and will answer any questions you may have. He will take over communicating with you at this point but I am ALWAYS available for assistance.
There are 3 activities we are focusing on right now:
1) Continue to recruit as many supporters as possible to the Pickens Plan. We have a goal of 500 new members PER district. The larger the group the easier it is to get those signatures. In order to make Pickens Plan a reality we need the numbers! Sign up sheets are available for download in the District Leaders resources and notes section of this page. Go ahead and ask everyone you know to start signing up!

2) Make sure to sign up for the Virtual March happening April 1-3. You can sign up and find out more information by clicking HERE

3) Submit an op-ed or letter to the editor about why you support the Pickens Plan and why others should to. I can help you draft this or create one yourself.

Thank you again for all of your help!

Hi everyone,

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to my St.Croix friends. You can also find me in CT-04 when I'm not on island.
