SUBJECT: Good Reasons to Join the Pickens Plan for Energy Independence
G'Day All --
There's a good reason to consider signing up with the Pickens Plan for Energy Independence, even if matters pertaining to energy are not among your top personal priorities.
The Pickens Plan effort provides an outstanding case study on how the Social Networking type of web site can be used to encourage active citizen participation and grass-roots support for a worthy cause.
Individuals who join will be able to see how the site works, and learn how the same kind of site might be put to good use for other worthwhile purposes to benefit your organization and its programs.
As noted in the previous post, a general purpose Networking site of this same type was established to serve Civic Action Free University participants several months ago. The capabilities it provides can be utilized in support of a wide variety of constructive public service, educational, social, cultural, or recreational activities by any responsible individuals and/or organizations that wish to sign up and take part:
The Civic Action Free University Networking Site
http://civicactionfreeuniversity.ning.com/
After gaining a little experience with the Pickens Plan site, you will be well-equipped to join, and put its capabilities to use in support of your favorite interests, causes, and activities.
*****
AND -- anyone who *does* have a strong interest in U.S. Energy Independence will find the Pickens Plan site "awash" with resources and opportunities to become involved and start moving forward.
Take a look, join, and participate !!

In addition to Groups for specific Congressional Districts and local areas throughout the country, here are some in the "general interest" category that you might like to consider joining:
The Obama-Biden Energy Plan
Solar Power
USA Wind Energy
Rural Americans for Energy Independence
Energy Party
Alternative Energy Professionals
Sustainable Community Development
... and, of course, many many more !! The wide range of activities and opportunities to take part is most impressive !!
If this seems right for you, don't put it off. Check it out and get crankin' !!
