The original plan is evolving to the next stage(see original description). It has become increasingly clear that telethons, though useful will only do so much. This meeting is going to need to go over more than the organization of a telethon. It will be unlikely that we can start waves of telethons.
The Pickens Plan needs more than that if it is to become big in Tucson. So here are the new plans for the meeting. I propose we set some organization in motion with some of the following tasks:
-Discussion of levels of involvement people are willing to do.
-Break up tasks to work on strengths.
-Develop plans to raise awareness.
-Pledges for energy independence
-Discuss volunteer ideas.
-Create structure to avoid duplication of efforts.
-Group think/meet new people for new ideas.
-Create resource lists
-Set up future meetings and optional phone lists
Teaming up is encouraged but not necessary; there are plenty of people who work just fine on their own without direction. Others become synergistic and can accomplish far more with teams.
Original description:
I would like to coordinate the efforts of a few willing volunteers to put together a telethon to get people on to the Pickens Plan. This event is just a meeting to set up the details. I am hoping that this will start a wave of telethons to sign up more members.
(do you have an idea that I should add?) tell me now before we meet and I will try to include what I can.
Time: October 1, 2008 from 7pm to 7:45pm

I would like to coordinate the efforts of a few willing volunteers to put together a telethon to get people on to the pickens plan. This event is just a meeting to set up the details. I am hoping that this will start a wave of telethons to sign up more members.
I can only send invites to friends so I am posting this on all 439 Tucson profiles, if the meeting gets large enough I will change the venue.
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. .
I have put a sign in my car window that reads...
" 700 BILLION IN FOREIGN OIL ANNUALLY. STOP THE LARGEST TRANSFER OF WEALTH IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.....TO OUR ENEMIES. JOIN www.pickensplan.com."
I have run a small, inexpensive advertisement on the headlines page of our local online newspaper that gets 3 million hits per month with the same message. I have small business card size notes that I can give to friends with the same message. It's grass roots, but that is what this is going to take.
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 see this.
We added close to 4,000 members yesterday.... it should be 10 times that!
Have a nice day. Please let me know how it goes.
