Dear fellow citizen of the United States of America
We have created The Energy Party and the E solutions, Education, Environment, Energy, Economy, Employment, Equality, Equal taxation, Equal Healthcare, Enforcement of the law, and the Engagement of the military to protect the people of the United States of America and the EFFORTS of all of us to save our children’s future, for our future
Read and digest the words, help write the words, and lets be ready to live the words.
If for some reason or the other we can not accomplish Mr. Pickens Plan with the new congress and senate in the first 100 days after they assemble in 09, I would like to be ready with another movement that will enable us to make our own changes after the 2010 elections. We are here for a common cause that is worth fighting for and I believe will bond us together. Our economy in in shambles, our environment is threatened, all because of oil, big banks, big business and their congressional ties.
Join with me, lets be prepared to raise up and be heard and back up our words with action.
Our great nation has to become energy independent or many of us will suffer, economically stable or many of us will suffer, environmentally stable or many of us will suffer and die.
T. Boone Pickens has started this snow ball effect in the energy sector of our lives and I applaud him, and I whole-heartedly support him and his project. I have seen this snow ball of suggestions turn into an avalanche of hopes and dreams for many of you and me.
When in the course of events and with what has conspired in the past weeks, months, years with the economy and environment we must include these Efforts with energy if we would survive. I have said in other discussions on this forum, and I proudly say again, I am a nobody from the middle of nowhere. I am a husband, a father, a carpenter, a businessman. I have tried like so many of you to sway my congressman, woman, and government to work for we the people, and use the power we have bestowed upon them, truthfully, clearly, righteously, with honor for we the people. As one we are nothing to them. As many joined together in a common cause we are a powerful force to be recognized and have voice that will be heard
The failure of our two party political system to lead, protect, defend, and secure this great country is why I take pen in hand and try to set right the wrong our government has conspired with.
Therefore I create this group with the fervent hope that we the people can band together, and with justice for all improve on the words penned below. Feel free to voice your opinion, add to or subtract from the pledge. T. Boone we support you, will you support, help and guide us.
Our forefathers started an avalanche in their day, I have seen the support for our legacy sway. Please let this be our time, to this end I pray.
This pledge is taken from the greatest document ever penned “The Declaration of Independence of The United States of America.” I in my feeble and humble attempt have reworded this great document to reflect our times. Please read, reconstruct, add to or change, but do not criticize, I am very thin skinned, lets discuss energy, lets discuss the economy, lets discuss the environment, we are all in this together. If change is what they want, change is what we will give them because I am tired of waiting for them to change.
The Pledge
Of the The ENERGY PARTY and the E solutions, Education, Environment, Energy, Economy, Employment, Equality, Equal taxation, Equal Healthcare, Enforcement of the law, and the Engagement of the military to protect the people of the United States of America and the EFFORTS of all of us who have joined.
We the people of the United States of America in order to form a more perfect government and stop the insanity and greed of our elected officials and the ability of big money to influence said officials have bonded together to form the Energy, Economical, and Environmental Party with and in the Pickens Plan.
It is the right, privilege, honor, and duty of each member of our great country to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and To right the wrongs beset upon them by the presently elected two party political system.
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the people to oppose these political bandits and the corruption to which they have become connected, and to re-establish the integrity and honor of the powers of the office bestowed by their fellow man, and the respect of the opinions of the people and that mankind requires that they should adhere to the will of the people when elected.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are suffer-able, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and corruption, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these United States of America; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present two party political system is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation's, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
They have worded their campaign election laws as to hinder a 3rd parties equal participation.
They have ignored the will and happiness of the American people to better themselves.
They have sold their office to the highest bidder to better themselves.
They have altered the American economy to benefit themselves and others.
They have allowed our great country to become dependent on foreign countries to better themselves and others.
They have failed to protect our borders to benefit themselves and others.
They have governed with special interest and are governed by special interest to benefit themselves and others.
They have squandered the power given to them by the majority.
They have abandon the American labor force
They have written tax laws with loop-holes for the wealthy to benefit themselves and others.
They have acted in a manner unbecoming the office they hold.
They have let the tort system operate unabated to benefit themselves and others
They have protected their offices from the American people to their benefit
They have ruled with fear and hatred to suppress their fellow man
ADD MORE HERE
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated silence. A politician whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Criminal, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
We have warned them from time to time for their lack of governing and corruption. We have reminded them of the circumstances of their corruption. We have appealed to their since of justice with no avail. We must therefore set the record straight and fine it necessary to denounce them as a reprehensive of the people and endeavor to remove from your seat in the great halls of our government and hold them accountable for their actions.
We, therefore as the people of the United States of America in general assembly appealing to the good people of each state and district for the morality, goodness, and decency of our intentions, and by the authority of the good people of these United States, solemnly declare that if elected we will serve the will of the people we represent. We absolve all allegiance with those who would unlawfully profit from our reward granted by the people. Having been elected by the people, we establish alliances and support this declaration, and with firm reliance of the people pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred Honor
This is the heart and soul of the ENERGY PARTY and the people of the United States of America.
Past elections, past promises of change, past disappointments of promised change have brought us together to plan ahead of disappointments this time.
This is not an attempt to find a presidential candidate at all because history shows us when a 3rd party aims for the White House they fail and we take two or three steps back and stumble to the ground becoming comical fodder for the media. This is to encourage people to run for congress as a 3rd party candidate in 2010

Hello everyone;
I leave this site for a couple of months to get some real work done on my new and improved wind farm plan and the place goes to heck in a hand basket. To make matters worse someone has taken my place as resident a##hole.
Population control? Simple. You have to get a permit to have a child. The only way to get the permit is to put up a bond equal to the cost of raising the child until age 18. That would certainly resolve the problem of allowing "the youngest,least educated,least intelligent, and least economically stable to procreate like rabbits and live like rats"
Hey Larry;
How you doing?
Steve

Comment by Robert Schultz on June 2, 2009 at 10:48am - Let's keep "Big Brother" out of the population control business. Free vasectomies with every Welfare check? That's CRAZY talk! Although, if we could improve health care to make the option more available to low income population, that wouldn't hurt. But, I think the real issue lies with the need for education, and the need for some common sense.

Comment by Larry M. Aden on June 2, 2009 at 6:46am -
Our talking past each other and total disrespect of each other's opinions will forever preclude any synthesis and meaningful progress toward the one thing that we can all agree upon - our need to rely more upon domestic American energy!
We should all remember a couple of the old morsels of wisdom that my Father and Grandpa always told me, "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar!", and "Figures don’t lie, but liars can figure!"
Let us all try to remain respectful of each other's opinions, but also try to stick to the facts.
Kevin, your over-reliance upon elitist clichés and proposing that your uninformed opinion is "going one better" than absolute facts presented is probably what gets under other people's skin to the point where they feel the need to shoot you down with personal invective.
We all have faults and room for improvement.
If we would all try to develop more respect for the facts.
One of those facts is diametrically opposed to the opinion that our need for energy is doomed to rise 'exponentially' (which is the correct algebraic term here, Kevin, as a parabola is a precise geometric form with a focal point, tho' exponential, it is not haphazard and variable, like our energy consumption).
The nature of the free market in individual human endeavors is that we always find more efficient means of doing anything the longer we do them.
Therefore, if nitwits would leave individuals alone and let the market work, we would continually use less energy to accomplish the same work.
The problem is societal.
An unsustainably developing society that allows the youngest, least educated, least intelligent and least economically stable to procreate like rabbits, and live like rats in sprawling cities, will always grow exponentially, have a declining standard of living and an out-of-control energy consumption model, until, in the end, they bring starvation down upon themselves, just like Ethiopia and Somalia.
The Neo-liberal whackos running our government are hacking away at the peripheral branches of our problems, like energy use, while they refuse to face the root causes of this downward-spiraling society, because that is their growing political base. These are your political battleship builders, Sir.
Congress will never address the real roots of our problems.
Robert is right, we need to develop real solutions, and cooperatively implement them, independent of our severely mentally, and morally, deficient government.
If you have not yet visited, please visit www.push.pickensplan.com/group/amass, and read the Introduction to AMASS, to see how we can build a sustainable society by improving the efficiency of our global system of distribution of goods and services.

Hegelian dialectic, usually presented in a three-fold manner, was stated by Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus as comprising three dialectical stages of development: a thesis, giving rise to its reaction, an antithesis, which contradicts or negates the thesis, and the tension between the two being resolved by means of a synthesis.
We seem to have plenty of thesis and antithesis. Where is the synthesis of ideas? This seems to be a major problem with our current two-party system as well. What one party proposes, the other tries to tear down. In the end, We The People are left with watered down proposals that don't usually carry enough clout to do the job it was intended to do. Maybe we need to come up with solutions that will work in spite of what Congress proposes.

I remember Nixon, I was 12 when he came to open Expo '74...for some reason he couldn't attend the closing ceremonies. Back then we could buy a gallon of gas for a quarter to mow the lawn. Noticed this morning 3 gas stations within a few blocks of my house priced at $2.49, $2.59, and $2.67 for regular. Most are around $2.59 in our area.
We need to go a new direction, and that will require changing our habits. More economical vehicles, more use of mass transit, more efficient freight transport,...the list goes on.

Only one thing here to remember Oil and Coal is not forever...
we must change the way we Generate Electricity Period
Lets be overly conservative and say it will last 100yrs (science says it won't)
but just humor me for a moment...
So we will have to go another DIRECTION PERIOD
Sooner or Later.
I am just saying lets start nudging that direction NOW
in stead of waiting around another 20yrs and discuss it some more
and so on and so on and so on....
TIME FOR DISCUSSION IS OVER TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW!!!!!!!!!!

AND SAY NO...
You probably were not around then, but there was across the board 90 DAY price freezes.
My dear sir,
The Prices that as you so eloquently pointed out with your Graf’s is about 6months from reaching the pump.
WHAT YOU HAVE IS NOTHING MORE THAN GOOD OLD FASHION PRICE GOUGING AT THE PUMP....
AND THIS IS MY LAST WORD ON THE SUBJECT AND WILL NOT STOOP TO YOUR LEVEL OF COMPLACENCY!!!!!!!!!

My humblest apologies sir. I should have separated my quote more clearly. The first part was Kevin's post.
My comment was ">>Whether or not you believe carbon pollution causes global warming doesn't matter. Producing CLEAN ENERGY should be our goal for sustainability."
I would prefer to discuss Energy policy, problems and solutions. I can find sufficient sources to support my arguments, and I am sure you can find just as many to support yours. Please try to discuss differences of opinion in a civil manner. If you want to call upon Hegel for philosophical support, that's your prerogative.

They banned me for defending Obama's speech at Notre Dame, and I didn't have to resort to harsh language or insults to do it.
