Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
No
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
When I was a kid in the 70's there was tremendous interest in alternative energy within my group of friends. We experimented with both solar and wind energy on a very small scale. However, that experience had shaped the way I have always veiwed the potential for energy independence.
What excites you about this campaign?
The scale; it might really happen now, not just on an individual basis but nationwide.
What do you want to do to help?
I want to spread the word, I want to attempt to affect change in the government because I feel that is the only way that we can make a significant impact.. If the government can offer a 7 billion dollar bail out, then they can offer significant monies, tax breaks, incentatives, etc. in order to invest in the Pickens Plan. This would obviously lead to economic improvements for our country and ecological benefits for our earth.

hi Bonnie, liked your comment about your neck of the woods down there in southern colorado, i think you will see some jobs coming as the new energy revolution kicks in and more places are identified as wind and or solar resource areas.,,,, Scott
Hi Bonnie, thanks for join the 3rd colorado group, i believe that colorado is on the front lines of our new energy revolution and w/ new leadership in washington and T.B.P. staying on message that we can affect a sane energy policy in our country, any Q's or ideas please contact me anytime ,, thanks again Scott
WELCOME!! Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for taking the first step and joining Pickens Plan. We are real people here with real dreams and a desire to get something done to secure a better future! Here are some ways you can help.
EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES
The creators of this site have given us the ability, with little effort, to send a letter to our Representatives in Washington and Governor, too. Please go to "THE PLEDGE" (at the very top of this page on the blue header). On the top of the pledge page there are three rectangular buttons- two blue, and ONE RED BUTTON, that reads "CONTACT CONGRESS". Fill in the short, standard form. Done!
DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THE PLEDGE
Carry some copies with you and get as many as you can signed and faxed back to Boone. This is how we build our numbers fast! Be a part of the "100 CLUB" by faxing in 100 signed pledges. Let me know when you are done and I will add you to that growing list!
BRING 5 FOLKS TO JOIN
The more members we have the bigger our voice to Congress! With enough members, they will finally have to listen to us, instead of the lobbyists and special interests, who will certainly try to derail this historic effort. If you bring 5 members and THEY bring 5 members… well you can do the math!
THERE IS NO TIME TO DELAY
…to wait and see…or to see if someone else will step up to the plate. It is time for US to roll up our sleeves and go to work. Right now momentum is working in our favor, but if gas prices retreat, the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost. Now is our chance to be a part of the solution!
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out Pickens "August Call to Action"- for a course of action! Here is an informative video "Topeka, Kansas Town Hall Meeting": http://www.pickensplan.com/news/2008/08/04/video-of-the-topeka-town-hall
PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS
We need to do more than “preach to the choir”. Sharing ideas with each other is encouraging but that will not 1) increase our membership nor 2) influence public policy. If you know someone in the press or someone who blogs - get them to cover this. Ask those in the public eye to support this plan.
A GROUP FOR EVERYONE
Check out the many groups for Solar, CNG, your area, etc. Connect, learn and share. We grow stronger with your input. If you don't see a group that speaks to your interest, then start a group of your own.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
We can always use new, fresh Welcome Wagon “drivers”! It is important that we greet each new member of Pickens Plan (as I am doing now to you!) and let him or her know what can be done immediately. If you have some free time during the day, let me know and I will send you explicit instructions! They are also on the blog on my page.
PLEASE feel free to FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch and share ideas!
Thanks again for joining this historical effort. WE CAN DO THIS!
Warm wishes for a GREEN RENEWABLE FUTURE!!!
