Hi Alan,
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday. I plan on getting there at about 8AM to set up the extensive booth! I have found a couple of smaller tables which will complement your table. At least we will be unique.
By the way, good job on the district website!

I am seeking auto insurance for the dual-fuel CNG-gasoline used auto I recently purchased from the federal government through auction. My auto insurance company, 21st Century formerly AIG, says my VIN number is not listed. When I told them about the type of auto I purchased, 21st Century said they could not insure a modified auto, even though this CNG dual-fuel auto appears to have been right from the Chevrolet factory, because they would not know how to value a "modified" vehicle if it damaged. When I contacted my mother's auto insurance company, Amica, they searched three data based for the CNG dual-fuel VIN and could not find it and therefore could not insure it. Without auto insurance, I can not legally drive this vehicle and can not consume CNG as a transportation fuel.
Do you or any one in the PickenPlan organization have any direct leads to assist me in locating an insurance company that can insure this dual-fuel CNG-gasoline used auto?
Sincerely,

You are way to kind in your words regarding working with me. I figure your motive is to get some others involved so you can take a day or two off!! I enjoyed our day together very much and hope to do it again sometime before September. A guy I spoke to yesterday who is involved in reclamming Barnegat Bay told me that even events like duck decoy sohows (???) and other similiar events are good to exhibit at. He will let me know as they come up. I'm not so sure. Anyway, I'll speak to you soon.
Mike and Alan
You guys are the BOMB! What a great job. EXCELLENT! What was the attendance overall? Any special commentaries? It's always interesting to hear your take on the reception. Share at will. I'll be checking in as much as possible...but lots is going on.
Because you deserve it; close your eyes wrap your arms around your back and do the patting thing, that's us, expressing we are greatfull for your efforts!!!!
Best; Tom
When you have a moment please reach out and congratulate Mike Morton, DL, NJ-04 and Alan Hamilton, DL, NJ02 (NJDL Delegation) for their amazing Pickens Plan outreach this weekend at the Haneman Park, Earth Day Festival sponsored by ACUA.
They signed 168 pledges and connected with several candidates for a Pickens U Chapter., a great accomplishment (especially in near 100 degree temps) and worth a giant pat on the back from all DL's. They have a number of other events planned at venues with FREE booth space. It might be worth considering for your group. As you may know all DL's in New Jersey formed a Delegation which works together in unison to achieve joint objectives. It's been a great experience. It's a productive way to spread out the work and expand each districts capacity.
We are in the discussion stage of a Towne Hall event; something far more difficult to do without lots of help. Try it in your State.
