Hello group, I have some exciting news. I have been talking and emailing a legilative assistant for representative Hunter of the Texas state legislature regarding Energy Independence Savings Bonds initiative at the state level. I spoke to him on the telephone and he encourages anyone from Texas, no matter what district in TX, to email him about Energy Independence Savings Bonds for Texas. He stated he will happily forward all correspondence received to the correct representatives in Texas. Representative Hunter is an attorney and Caleb said there are two other attorneys working for Rep. Hunter. It is interesting to hear there is question about the legality of a state level savings bond program similar to the federal level. They are actively working on it and this is great news! Please feel free to pass on this information to anyone from Texas. Here is Caleb's email:
Mr. Kendall,
I am glad you sent this to me, I have visited with the representative and I am working with the state to see the legality of state bonds versus having it go through the federal government. I will keep you posted on the developments.
Thank you,

Hello and Happy Holidays to you and yours. I just want to let you know that we are organizing the New Energy Army by Congressional District so we can take action locally to make energy independence for America a reality. If you live in District TX 01 Please follow this link to join our group for the Congressional District TX 01

Our Goals as a group:

• Work with other members of the New Energy Army in your Congressional District
to set a goal of signing up 500 new members by Inauguration Day 2009.
• Host meet‐ups with other members of the Army in your Congressional District to
discuss ways you can take action and Push the Pickens Plan.
• Get an op‐ed or letter to the editor placed in your local newspaper telling everyone
why you support the Pickens Plan.
• If your Governor, U.S. Senators and U.S. Representative have not yet signed the
Pickens Plan Pledge, then ask them to sign today! Visit
http://www.pickensplan.com/district-leaderboard to find out if your elected
officials have signed the pledge.

When I volunteered for the TX 01 Congressional District to help organize the members, I wanted to know exactly where the members of that particular district were located. I found these maps online and they gave me a starting point. I wanted to share with ya'll so here is a link to the maps of each District of the 110th Congress of our fair country (January 2007-January 2009). As stated on the website: "These maps of the individual districts cover half of an 8.5- by 11-inch paper when printed. Designed for easy reference, they show the Congressional District overlaid on top of State and county boundaries along with interstate and US highways, selected streams and waterbodies, and major cities. The maps were created for use on the World Wide Web but print well using your home or office printer."

The maps are great and can easily be saved and added to each of your district groups page and provide a valuable tool for identifying the geographical areas where our current and prospective members reside; and making it easier for U.S. to search the site here and gather our teams together on a local scale.

If you live in District TX 01 stop by and join the group! If not, find which District you are in and check out those groups! Thanks!

For a larger pic of our or any other district map on your computer just go to the link above find your District map and you can preview it online in larger format.

I look forward to working with ya'll! Write me with any comments or suggestions Please!

In reply to Charles Reed: There are many reasons why it will take years to see the oil if we start drilling now. You are right that it only takes a short time to drill, but that's on dry ground.

What will take a long time is the offshore and ANWAR drilling. Right now, from available news sources, there are no available drilling rig ships. All those in production are presold, and new orders will have to wait their turns. Also, the oil companies have no concrete information on what areas will produce, and how much they will produce. That, too, takes time. Then there is the situation of laying pipelines both offshore and on land.

So, it's not just a matter of "Drill, drill, drill". It takes time.

Hello,
I live in a small town in East Texas, not far from Kilgore (The Oil Capitol). I was just wondering why there are so many pumping units (oil & gas) that are capped off and not producing. Thank you.
