- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- I don't have personal experiences with alternative energy; I know that our country needs to move in that direction very quickly. I want to help in any way possible and find out how I can make immediate and long term changes to impact our energy sources. I want my children to have a better place to live without foreign dependency.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- I know that the people CAN make a difference; it just takes a little action on everybody’s part to tell our leaders what we want and why it is so important. It's time the people became more involved in shaping our future instead of letting government drag their feet.
- What do you want to do to help?
- I want to help spread the message, get my friends and family talking about this important issue. I would like to make changes to my home and lifestyle to show the effects, now if it could be a little more affordable that would happen a lot quicker.

I know that we are friends, and you get email updates from me, however, I think this is so important, I am reaching out one at a time.
I am looking for members of the 100CLUB... members that have faxed in 100 or more signed pledges.
We have the mechanism to build our numbers, we need to use it. It is the easiest ask- Boone has done the hard work. All we need to do is hitch our wagon to his horse and plow to the finish. I have sent in 240 so far.
It comes down to.... Do we have the fortitude? I hope so. We aren't asking folks to take up arms. But this IS our revolution. And we have a very small window to get it done. I would like your help.
I am also waiting for tools to help us define our efforts :
1. the list of who has signed the PLEDGE and who has NOT- Governors and Legislators.
2. counter/tickers on the site of how many emails have been sent to Congress.
3. counter/ticker of how many PLEDGES have been signed by citizens.
Glad you are here. Are you in?
Best,
Kim
So I got the communication people to list all the current Idaho groups on the list "find a group by state" that comes up on the main PickensPlan site. Before there were none, now there are six. We all should be getting better response now.
This letter is going out to all members of all the Idaho groups.
I am John Leigh, from Boise. Is anyone in Idaho doing anything to raise awareness of the plan? I have joined all the Idaho groups to try to be advised. Do we get together for talk sessions or to organize for a town hall visit by T. Boone? Do the Idaho groups communicate with each other?
I guess I'm asking Do we DO something or just sit and watch?
I have set up an email address that I hope becomes the Pickens Plan Idaho newsletter. All Groups and everybody interested can subscribe. I an based in Boise so that is my focus but we all should be aware of anything happening in Idaho (So we could discuss what to do about things like our Idaho groups NOT being on the list under Idaho.....took me 4ever to figure out who to talk to)
So if you want to be on the list just email PickensPlanBoise@cableone.net and you will recieve updates as I get info from around Idaho, and maybe we will have coffee someday and plan how to put Idaho on the world map.

Go to groups, there should be one there for your area. Thanks for joining. Friend me so we can keep in touch. Good luck. There is a lot of information on the site- town hall meetings., etc.
There is also on the LA TImes site a video of Pickens in front of Congress a few weeks go. Really good.
Best

Here's how you can help.
PLEASE email the Pickens Plan video to everyone you know. www.pickensplan.com. Ask them to JOIN. Ask them to pass it along. Time is of the essence. If every member had 10 friends join today, we could put the number of members over 1 million very quickly!
If we can not get critical numbers how can we take advantage of this golden opportunity? High gas prices have "woken up" America to our plight and a paradigm shift like not other is in the wind. We need to do this now.
So many new members write "I want to help, what can I do?" This is a start. We may not get to the next step if we can not get this one done. Our leaders can not ignore millions of members of the Pickens Plan. We are not there yet. .
If you have a connection to the press- get them to cover this.
If you know someone who blogs- get them to cover this.
If you can write a letter to your Representative or Senator- get them to act on this now.
We added 2,000 members yesterday.... it should be 10 times that!
Want to learn more? Check out the Topeka, Kansas Town Meeting video (on the right hand side, in blue, on the home page). Very informative.
Have a nice day. Please let me know how it goes. Feel free to friend me.

Here are is an excerpt from Thomas Freidman's Sunday article in the New York Times:
Pickens made clear to me over breakfast last week that he was tired of waiting for Washington to produce a serious energy plan. So his company, Mesa Power, is now building the world’s largest wind farm in the Texas Panhandle, where he’s spent $2 billion buying land and 700 wind turbines from General Electric — the largest single turbine order ever. The U.S. could secure 20 percent of its electricity needs from wind alone.
But Pickens knows he’s unique. Unless, he says, "Congress adopts clear, predictable policies" — with long-term tax incentives and infrastructure — so thousands of investors can jump into clean power, we’ll never get the scale we need to break our addiction.
If only we had a Congress and president who just sit down with Boone and Shai and asked one question: "What laws do we need to enact to foster 1,000 more like you?" Then just do it, and get out of the way.
What a beautiful photo!
