Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- No
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- I've lived off the grid at several times in my life and have been involved in building alternative power structures. (including my own still at 14!~)
- What excites you about this campaign?
- How "you" are excited. I feel like someone has stepped up with the truth about the nature of global power and energy, and is speaking with grand vision about what's needed to make things better. I'm not a fan of Pickens but what I'm seeing is how this isn't about any one person but about our country and the world. I don’t mean to sound conspiratorial whacky, but it kind of reminds me of Eisenhower’s speech on the military-industrial complex ... Power to the people baby! LOL
- What do you want to do to help?
- Whatever one man can do; from labor to brain, boots on the ground to voice in the air, just one person who is willing to stand up for what's right and just.

How many calls have you made so far?
Well, we’ve heard from Boone again, the stimulus bill has some stuff in it we will all like, but not everything we want, but it’s an important start. Please call your leaders in Washington again and ask them to support it. Then email me with a report of how many total calls you made and who you talked to so I can report for our district to headquarters.
Thanks for your efforts,
Dave Clement

The old saying about when America sneezes, the world catches cold, is still true. Even in shambles, our economy is the strongest in the world. But I do not want us to be at the mercy of unfriendly and comtemptuous nations for the things we need, especially, fuel. but it is part of a larger picture. we need to rebuild American industry and get out of being primarily a service economy. We need to rescue our manufacturing saector far more than we need to bail out our bankers!

Gems ~ Xtreme Makeover ~ Earth Edition
It all began with a formula and a hypothesis and now Gem Energy is proven power which emits a very low frequency and produces several forms of energy, including Alternate Current, Direct Current, and Pulse Power…!G.E.M. Technologies has completed 4 rounds of testing on its Self-Sustaining Energy Process and has now proven Gem Energy to be safe, clean, and sustaining. Further research and testing is required to further define and evaluate this breakthrough energy process and delivery system.
By tapping into this inexhaustible unified field of energy we not only revolutionize the world's economy, we restore the Earth's atmosphere, water sources, and air quality, while simultaneously protecting and preserving all forms of life on our planet for future generations to come...
G.E.M. Technologies is seeking potential partners and/or investors to fund additional testing & prototyping for the development of this technology. Omega Energy Cell are visionary products. Once designed these energy cells will be inexpensive to reproduce, will never need recharging, and will produce zero emissions.

Power to the people is right. ONE MAN CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I need you on this if you can.....
After you get your friends to join the site, and send your letters off to Congress....I hope you will work to join the "100CLUB"... for members that have faxed in 100 or more signed pledges.
PLEDGES are the vehicle that can drive our numbers, we need to use them! It is a very easy 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 280 so far. I have 48 friends, that I know of, who are working on the challenge. By the end of the week that will be 5,000 new supporters of this plan- 4 times the number that joined the plan online this week.... with just 49 people!
IMAGINE what we could do if everyone that said they would do
anything they could to get this done, joined the "100CLUB"
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. Would like your help.
.
ARE YOU IN?
Best
Kim
What do you think the price of oil going down will do to PickensPlan? Much less the stock market bust.
Just saying hello to a few Pickens friends. Can you believe we have been on this site for 2 months?
We passed a large wind farm on the way to Colorado Springs last week. I got so excited.
