What is it about the Olympics and other sporting events that makes them so compelling? Let’s face it; it is the original ‘reality’ television and anything can happen. You never know the outcome, so it suspenseful. But, what I think we gravitate to is the pursuit of excellence. The most decorated athletes are examples of the incredible potential for human achievement. The most memorable are those who develop, not only their talent, but, their character.
There are profound lessons we can learn th…

My name is John Orben.
I will be working with the Pickens Plan as the Ohio District 1 Leader.The first congressional district spans much of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and Southwest Butler County. Our congressman will be Steve Driehaus, serving in the 111th Congress of the United States of America, he will be replacing Steve Chabot in the office.
My goal will be to increase membership in our District, promote the Pickens Plan, and listen to your ideas about the plan. I will communicate with local government officials and pass along information about the progress of our work through the Group Page at : http://push.pickensplan.com/group/DistrictGroupOH01
I would like to ask for your help, on whatever level you are comfortable with, in promoting the Pickens Plan within our district. I would like to hear your ideas on how we can responsibly promote wind power, natural gas vehicles,and sustainable energy independence within our district and throughout the country.
Please join our Group, by following this link: http://push.pickensplan.com/group/DistrictGroupOH01.
Sincerely;
John
I am so technologically challenged, I have no idea how to answer you. Can you check in with my go to guys for the IT stuff. Clynton and Pat Jack can help you with that. Both are just the best.
THANKS

Hope all those friends of yours will sign your petition.
It has been a while since we kept in touch last!
We are now over 1.2 million suporters. We will need many more if we are to beat back the damn lobbyists and special interests. Can you help with the pledges? Every American needs to sign on. With pledges we can fan out and reach so many. It is an easy ask- Boone has done the hard work. I was able to get 300 signed in the first 4 days - everyone wants to to get off of foreign oil. We may never have a golden opportunity like this again!
ARE YOU IN?

Welcome to Paradigm Shift Institute. I hope you will join us in making this happen.
Best Regards,

The stars have aligned to create the possibility of a paradigm shift that is and has been urgently needed. We have an angry citizenry due to pain at the pump, a presidential election on the horizon, and a man with a plan to dramatically and imminently reduce our dependance on foreign oil, and provide a bridge to future solutions, who has the resources, contacts, knowledge, wealth and "will" to get it done.
Please share this plan with your circle of friends, family and associates. Urge them to JOIN. As you know, it is simply like signing a petition. With large numbers of supporters, we can put pressure to bear on Congress to incentivize alternative and renewable energies, and insure that our future president will be a leader that will push for domestic energy solutions. JFK once said. "in the next 10 years we will put a man on the moon". He got it done. We need that kind of leadership on energy.
Time is of the essence. If gas prices retreat the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost. How frightening to be looking back and apologizing to our children that we could not get this done when we had the chance.
