Watch T. Boone on 60 Minutes!

Charlie Rose makes his debut as a 60 Minutes contributor this week with a profile of Texas oil and gas maven T. Boone Pickens. Rose's profile of Pickens will be broadcast this Sunday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

The profile of Pickens takes Rose to the billionaire's Texas ranch and to the football stadium at Oklahoma State University that Pickens built for his alma mater. Rose and Pickens also go to the Democratic Convention, where he sought support for his "Pickens' Plan" to lessen America's dep… Continue

Senator Specter

I received this today from Senator Specter:

Dear Mr. Keck:

Thank you for contacting my office regarding our nation's energy policy. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue.

Addressing our nation's energy crisis requires a comprehensive approach. I believe that Congress should vote to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Technological advances allow us to drill in these areas in a way that is more environmental… Continue

From Chat with T. Boone after the debate

I have contacted my senators, and have scheduled a 15-20minute interview/chat with them. What are some topics I should mention, and what questions should I ask?

T. Boone Pickens: Ask them if they're for the pickens plan. If they're not, ask them what they're for. If they don't have a plan they're for the status quo - foreign oil.

And try to get them to sign the pickens plan.

Message from Congressman Charles Dent

9/25/08
I received this e-mail from Congressman Dent today. I also received a voice mail from him on my answering machine. His response was very encouraging. I also asked him to sign the pledge in my most recent message to him.

Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I worked for 20 years as a USAF member pumping fuel onto Air Force airplanes and storing fuel in huge tank farms. I have seen first hand the damage fuel can do when burned or just spilled on the ground. I was also part of a growing Air Force initiative to use CNG powered vehicles on their bases and electric golf carts on their flightlines. I've seen it in action on a small scale and I am ready to see it implemented on a nationwide scale.

What excites you about this campaign?

Becoming energy independent has become my number one political priority. It is great to see people starting to take action. I hope it isn't too late. With people like Mr. Pickens and Al Gore involved I finally have hope. I hope I will live to see the day when our great country is no longer held hostage for energy by foreign oil producers!

What do you want to do to help?

I've never been much of an activist......the military tends to discourage that.....but I am fed up. I feel strongly enough about this issue that I am ready to get involved. I'd like to help take real action toward our county's energy independence!

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?

Good morning everyone. Well, as our man say's "The Games ON"!

In the last week, I have received offers to help, Judy DePalma is going to be posting in her blog, here and two other NH sites, just as soon as I secure my date, so. I need to send a thank you to Joey for his assistance. The local Chamber will post the event on their web page. I have a sponsor to help me with the printing cost for materials, (will except any help offers)? The local tv channel is letting me make a video, up to 1 hour, that they will play on the local tv station. Yes, (Kim), I am up to 80 actual signed pledges. I am making more contacts today for sponsorship, and I will let you know how that goes.

OK, a couple of questions:
Columbus Day weekend is the time frame. It is a big weekend and the last big Leaf Peeping rush we are going to get here (traffic a Plenty). I can do have this event on Saturday or Monday--What are you thoughts?

Slogan idea:
I am going to put up signs up to a mile both north and south of my location, this to give drivers a heads-up that they will be coming upon an event up ahead. I am thinking something like
"STOP FOR T. BOONE PICKENS, AHEAD ". What do you think? Got more? Please send them.

I feel so strongly that I am doing what I am suppose to be doing as a way to help my fellow neighbors and the citizens up here just have the power to be informed that I could not help myself, but to find a way to get them this information. I tried many times to get the newspaper to inform them, but met brick walls. So one needs to do, what one needs to do, right. It must be the right thing, as it is beginning to take on a life of its own.

Please write back with your ideas, suggestions, offers anything....I will write back to update after today’s contacts.

Thanks everyone. Karen

Here is a thought for today: Columbus discovered American and Boone has the only real plan to bring her back to her feet!!!!!

Need folks to help push pledges, and Pickens U. Look forward to hearing from you. 400,000 is not 1 million! Can you get some pledges signed?

Best,
Kim
