Dear Friends

I have a Plan

Im going to get a little personal about me with you.
I Just finished a Drywall & Paint Job and realized the awesome earning potential I have within my grasp If I had 10 or more people just like me we could increase profits 10 fold maybe more. Im not saying this to soloist anyone or sell anything this is just a possible solution to raise capital to advance our projects like Energy Bonds Green Jobs and promote the best of our best Ideas. For 30 years I have been meeting all my family needs within my means with just the help of my wife.
My thought is this lets all network with one another our jobs what we do best refering one another for work and taking 10% or what ever of the job refered and put 5% into a We the People Account & the other 5% to the one who refered the job.
Mr. Pickens has spent over 50 Million of his own Money, Tell me why we all can't pull together and do this. I think most of us here part of the 77 Million Baby Boomers, I have 10-15 years left in me to sucure our Grandkids Furture.

So what do you think ?
Am I Dreaming :o} Or can we or are we willing. The only Power the Government has over us is what We the people Give them.
I'm really afraid of what I'm seeing where they are going.

Dear Mr. Fernald:

Thank you for contacting me with your views regarding the economic stimulus package. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

Every day, we hear more reports of massive job losses, and Maine is no exception with an increase in its unemployment rate to seven percent. Congress must work with President Obama to get the economy moving again. I believe, however, that it is critical that Congress pass an economic stimulus bill that achieves the right balance, right size, and right mix of tax relief and spending programs to ensure that any stimulus legislation will actually boost the economy and create jobs, not just add to the soaring deficit.

In that regard, I have serious concerns with the $819 billion bill that has been approved by the U.S. House of Representatives. I am working with Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE), on a bipartisan, compromise plan that would result in a smaller and more targeted bill that would help get our economy back on track.

In addition to infrastructure investments, the stimulus should include funding to help states avoid cuts in essential health care programs, tax relief for low and middle-income families, tax incentives to help small businesses, and investments in energy conservation to help create jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Again, thank you for contacting me. I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to come up with a final stimulus package that is bipartisan, targeted and effective.

Sincerely,
Susan M. Collins

United States Senator

Kim Anderson just sent us an email asking us to participate in a FOX News survey on the question of what must be done first. We need to do that.

The email is americas-talking@foxnews.com

Here is my contribution:

When a family looks at their expenses, they often have to decide whether to continue the membership in the club or cable TV. The nation has a huge discretionary expense in the way we provide for our energy needs. At present we send $700 billion/year to other nations. If we stop doing that by substituting domestic energy sources we can drop that by $300 billion almost immediately. How soon depends on Congress and the new administration. The only practical plan for making this happen is The Pickens Plan.
The 1st priority should be the adoption and implementation of The Pickens Plan.
That will give us the shot in the arm to solve all the other problems. Millions of "green" jobs will be created. Families will be able to pay their mortgages and their healthcare costs. Lenders will feel the relief through the private sector and soon some of the $700 billion bailout will be repaid to the US treasury.

A chemistry professor I had in college said that things happen in nature because it is easier for them to happen than for them not to happen (he was talking about chemical bonds).
This is also true when it comes to alternative energy. Most people will not start using alternative fuel until it is easier them to than not to. Sure, some people do it because it is the right thing to do and some people will do it because it is the 'IN' thing to do but, society, as a whole will not change to alternative fuel until it is easier to change than not to change.
We need to make it easier for this country to use alternative fuels than it is to use foreign oil. This is the most important thing we can do for our national defense, economy, and environment.

We have a Dream..!!!

Gems ~ Xtreme Makeover ~ Earth Edition

It all began with a formula and a hypothesis and now Gem Energy is proven power which emits a very low frequency and produces several forms of energy, including Alternate Current, Direct Current, and Pulse Power…!

G.E.M. Technologies has completed 4 rounds of testing on its Self-Sustaining Energy Process and has now proven Gem Energy to be safe, clean, and sustaining. Further research and testing is required to further define and evaluate this breakthrough energy process and delivery system.

By tapping into this inexhaustible unified field of energy we not only revolutionize the world's economy, we restore the Earth's atmosphere, water sources, and air quality, while simultaneously protecting and preserving all forms of life on our planet for future generations to come...

G.E.M. Technologies is seeking potential partners and/or investors to fund additional testing & prototyping for the development of this technology. Omega Energy Cell are visionary products. Once designed these energy cells will be inexpensive to reproduce, will never need recharging, and will produce zero emissions.

Would anyone like to consider passing out the pledge, and information about the Plan, at a public place? They can either sign it right there and we'll mail them in bulk to Dallas, or potential participants can take them home. I'm thinking in front of Walmart, or PetCo, maybe leave some at Waffle House so they can sign up while waiting for breakfast! Anyone know any store managers? I wonder if HomeDepot or Lowe's would allow us out front? It could do their image some good.
Even passing to friends. If we 29 members get 10 friends to sign up...... I'll certainly have 10 signed in the next couple days. My family alone can cover that.

I'll keep you all posted. Maybe some will join this site.

Hi folks, I encourage each of you to send a letter like this one to each member of our congression delegation. I just FAXed it to my rep and both Senators. If you do not have a fax machine, subscribe to the service at www.rapidfax.com. $7.50 per month for 150 pages with first month free.
"Re: Support, co-sponsor, and vote for the American Energy Act

Dear Senator name :

We are just starting a long journey into energy independence and we do not yet know all the roads we will have to take to reach our destination but the American Energy Act is an excellent start and I urge you to support it enthusiastically and vigorously. There will be many temptations to be distracted but this is a long term project that will require long term focus.

Our economic strength and even our national security will erode to the point of beggary and embarrassment if we do not assure our energy independence. No other program or objective at the national or state levels can be funded for long without solving the energy problem.

Solving the energy problem will involve enabling rather than hindering every manner of innovation that the fruitful inventiveness of the American people can and will devise. We are depending on you to “grease the wheels” of bureaucracy to allow the market to choose which technology will best serve our needs. Make sure that competition is fair. Keep the playing field level so that little guys are not stomped on by Big Oil or other sectors with mountains of money to spend. Make sure that no inventions, with potential to benefit the average American, gets purchased and pocketed (taken off the market for interminable study). A new fuel cell membrane that is 100 million times more efficient at separating hydrogen from oxygen than existing technologies has been developed at MIT. Be sure this gets high priority for development. We could be closer to independence than we ever thought possible.

We want clean energy: wind, solar and hydrogen. Give these guys a lot of elbow room. Help them with development and infrastructure. We still need petroleum and lots of it while new technologies are developed. Let’s do drill and drill now but make sure we protect our natural resources while we do it.

I believe that the oil companies have benefited egregiously from recent (and current) exorbitant prices and that they should be required to invest those profits in the infrastructure to fuel vehicles with CNG and Hydrogen. Any windfall profits that are not absorbed in infrastructure should be devoted to a fund to retrofit all existing vehicles to use the new cleaner fuels. Some believe that they would just find ways to add that cost to the cost the consumer is already paying. I believe you can find people who are smart enough to devise regulations and monitoring systems to assure that they do not engage in such practices and I encourage you to do so. As justification for denying them arbitrary increases in price to pay for these investments, I believe they should own the infrastructure their money pays for and benefit from its use. This should satisfy investors who own so much oil company stock in their pension funds.

Sincerely,"

Please encourage your group to contact their congressmen and discover what each is doing to promote America's energy resources. I've contacted the Lt. Governor's office here in Georgia and received assurances from his associates that there will be no barriers from the Public Service Commission or any other bureau or agency to adopting CNG for use in all state vehicles. School buses are a priority. Thanks for any assistance.
