Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize
- What excites you about this campaign?
- The potential for wind energy. The US land mass has areas with some of the most sustained winds anywhere in the world. If wind works in places like Germany, Denmark, Holland, where I have seen massive wind farms, the US plains can generate so much more.

General John Osborn here. I am your District FL-11 Leader for Pickens Plan. We need YOU more than ever. Our organization has evolved and your role has become very clear. Come to the Pickens Plan website and add yourself to my friend list and also the District Group. Make firm plans to attend our monthly meetings, you will see the Pickens Plan has had new life breathed into it. Bring a friend, we have plenty of seating. We are having a guest speaker Thursday September 10th at 7:30 PM…see Pickens Plan website for maps and additional information. (listed on both the District and Events tabs)
Under my leadership you can have a tangible role in the operation of the district. You will be meeting “Mark Sharpe” of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners at the September meeting. I assure you this will be interesting and informative.
Please reply to my direct email at josborn5@tampabay.rr.com We need to know you’re still active and ready to assist us in the revitalized campaign for “Energy Independence”. Also RSVP for the September 10th, meeting.
Gen. John Osborn
District FL-11 Leader
Will you gather supporters with petitions? We only have 15 days until Congress is sworn in. Time is of the essence.
Here is the petition:

NO INFLUENCE WITHOUT NUMBERS
I have been able to gather hundreds with a simple sentence -
"I am collecting signatures of support for T. Boone PIckens plan to get us off of foreign oil and onto American solutions" then put the petition in front of them. EVERYONE wants to get off foreign oil, we just need to add them to our list!
Please stop by and let me know how it goes. WE CAN DO THIS!
Let me know if I can help in any way.
Best,
Kim

As I'm sure you've seen from the traffic on the site, we're making a big push in the next couple of days to delivered printed copies of the Pickens Pledge petitions to the local campaign offices of the presidential candidates.
http://push.pickensplan.com/events/event/show?id=2187034:Event:1382155
In addition to some of the smaller local offices the candidates have set up, I want to make sure we get the petitions delivered to the state headquarters offices for Obama and McCain in Florida. Obama's state HQ is in Tampa; McCain's is in Tallahassee.
Among the Florida members you've interacted with on Push, are there any folks who come to mind in Tampa or Tallahassee for whom it might be fairly convenient to drop by one of the candidates' HQs?
Thanks,
Gator - Pickens Plan Ambassador
EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES BY USING OUR EASY RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON -This is urgent, because the Energy Bill in Congress is in danger of not passing! With little effort, we have the ability here for you to send a letter to our Representatives in Washington and Governor, too. 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 ones and ONE RED BUTTON, that reads "CONTACT CONGRESS" . Fill in the short, standard form. Done!
YOU CAN ALSO HELP BY BRINGING 5 FOLKS TO JOIN the site today, so that we can build a voice big enough that Congress will finally have to listen to us, instead of the lobbyists and special interests, who are trying to derail this historic effort.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE PLEDGE on the main page. Print out 10 or more of them, get them signed and fax them back to Boone ASAP. This is how we build our numbers fast! Be a leader, 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 the list.
PICKENS U has been formed for college and university students to get involved. If you know of a student who would like to become an ambassador to helped coordinate the pledge drive please submit names to Pickens U site. This would be good for job resume.
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.

PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONSWe 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. Join the Guides and Materials for New Members Group. Lot's of good information there.
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.
PLEASE FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch.
