Thanks mmmike for bringing the NUMBERSUSA methodology to the attention of this group. I agree with you wholeheartedly. We need this NOW! Does anyone have programming talents that could add this feature to this page? If so DO IT!

NumbersUSA has been VERY effective in organizing grassroots actions utilizing their Action Bulletinboard and a massive fax campaign. One may agree or disagree with their position; but you have to agree that it has been effective in getting Congress to act. The Picken's Plan needs to study the NumbersUSA methodology and adopt something similar.

i have been burning up the e-mail lines i have written most every senator, representative, and both of the presidential candidates and the speaker of the house have only heard back from one so far i also left a message on the line of the speaker Pelosi to do something and get going and get this to a vote (hr5984)

Bill Mollring sent me the following. Read it and jam the switchboard!

Aloha,
In two weeks the 30% Federal Tax credit on new Solar and Wind installations will expire. Without this incentive the alternative energy industry will have a major setback. Congress can renew this credit, but they are bickering and may let it expire and then go on their summer break. Now is the time to contact your representatives in Congress and let them know this important bill has to be renewed.

Nancy Pelosi could bring this issue up for a vote, but she has stalled on this bill and will not call for a vote.
Her phone number is: 202 225-0100 I urge you to call her and let her know we want this tax credit and it needs to be voted on. It is time to let Congress know we want action.
Thank you.

Thanks, John. I added link to AWEA to group links above.

I have sent letters to Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) concerning the action Congress must take to extend government support for alternative energy. I also sent letters to Corzine in New Jersey where I also have a house, and to Nancy Polosi, Speaker of the House. All of this is very simple. You can go to the AWEA website and get form letters if you like and also forward them real easily, or you can use the links up above.

Jason,

I will send correspondents to my congressional leadership.

Call to action: The Production Tax Credit was rejected by the Senate. Please contact all federal representatives to support this legislation.

Using the instructions below, when you get to the page with "Elected Officials" , just click the link under "Action Alert" to tell our members on Congress to extend the PTC.

Thanks for your help.

Hi
If you are interested in sending email to your state and/or federal representatives to push for legislative action, particularly for the Production Tax Credit (PTC) that ends in 2008, then please read on. The American Wind Energy Association has done us a HUGE favor by creating a one stop shopping site to allow a person to enter their email content and their zip code, and the site will take care of emailing your federal or state reps. It appears you have cut and paste the your email template twice - once for feds and once for state. But the nice thing is no researching the contact data and sending individual emails. Here are the steps to access their site:

Go to ->

http://www.awea.org/legislative/

Click "Legislative Action Website"
Click " Elected Officials"
Enter your zip
Click "Go"
Then Click "Federal" or "State" (you can do both but not at the same time).
Enter your email and click "Send Message".

I hope this helps.
