Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while. I’ve been dealing with a few personal issues, and trying to get a kid into college. But this is important. We all need to take action now and telephone Representative Boccieri and Senators Voinovich & Brown at their local and Washington offices. I’m sure you already know, congress will be voting on a new stimulus package. Next Wednesday is the House’s vote. All our legislators say they (and their staff) are here to serve the residents of the 16th District. Telephone them all before Wednesday, and tell them to vote for the stimulus package.
Tell them you support this legislation because it contains:
Support for wind energy (that builds on 2008's successes).
An extension of the Production Tax Credit.
And, it implements a renewable infrastructure loan program.
To see change, and stop feeding our addiction to foreign oil, we need our legislators to support our own home grown energy sources (like wind & natural gas). So while on the phone talking to (or leaving a message with) our legislators, ask them why they haven’t yet come out in support of the PickensPlan! Tell them if they’re not going to support this plan, please give you the details of their own plan. If not T. Boone’s plan, they best have their own plan that’s better!
Here’s their Washington & local phone numbers:
Representative John Boccieri
W # 200/225-3876
L # 330/489-4414
Senator George Voinovich
W # 202/224-3353
L # 216/522-7095
Senator Sherrod Brown
W # 202/224-2315
L # 216/522-7272
Important: Please let me (and the group) know you’ve called by reporting back at a discussions page on our PP 16th district group page. Also let us know if you learn anything of interest from them or their staff! I’ll be reporting this back to PickensPlan HQ.
Your 16th District Leader,
Dave Gallagher
