I feel the need for alternative power in certain areas---however---I don't think anyone could produce a fuel more efficient than "gasoline or anything that ferments will combust"---I do agree the manipulation of the product does need to be modified----Electric cars are an oxymoron----hydrogen cannot be "handled" by the average motorist----natural gas would be more of a disaster by the public---not to mention the maintainence for these type vehicles which would be unaffordable for most. The "wind" farm theroy--makes a little sense--however how would these fans hold up in 100mph winds---and the "bird watchers". I feel harnessing the rivers with dams---and nuclear is the answer--The concept of the public is that with nuclear energy---they belive your household recepticals will emit radiation and fail to understand that the heat "boils the water---that spins the turbines---SO MUCH MISINFORMATION----if any one could explain this----well---I'M for damming the Yellow river in my area-----

Doug, the following was sent to me from Jack Costantino DL-NJ 16
What do you think about this for Florida?

Leslie Co-Leader District FL-16

NJDL has offered two hours free use of its tele-conference call line to the first DL who steps up with a delegation of DL's from their State. Why don't you get the contact info for a group of nearby DL's in your State...12-15 of the closest ones geograhically and I'll set up the call for you at a time of your choosing. It's a great way to combine thoughts and energy. You can discuss strategies for the VM, recruiting, an eventual site meeting, etc.

Micah Lauer, our RL provided the home eMails for us. We had a great response. Let me know. The offer stands until March 31st.

Below is a response to the recent comments I received from you:


Dear Mr. Bryson:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the energy campaign of T. Boone Pickens. I appreciate hearing from you and would like to respond to your concerns.

Today, our nation is 66 percent dependent on foreign sources of energy. It is critical for our national security that we adopt an energy policy that promotes conservation and efficiency, increases domestic production, and diversifies the nation’s energy supply. Mr. Pickens has suggested that we generate 20% of our electricity from wind within ten years and that we replace petroleum with natural gas to fuel our vehicles to decrease our demand for foreign oil.

I agree with Mr. Pickens that the $700 billion a year our nation spends on foreign oil is unacceptable, but an "all of the above" approach is our best option for solving this energy crisis. I have consistently supported an environmentally responsible approach for oil and gas exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). I have also promoted coal-to-liquids technology, the development of cellulosic ethanol and other non-food-based renewable fuels, tax incentives for renewable energies, the expansion of nuclear power, and the extraction of vast oil shale deposits in America's West. To reduce demand, I have supported increases in fuel efficiency standards and investment in mass transit. Congress must encourage the utilization of all of our domestic energy resources and the development of new technologies.

Mr. Pickens has many good ideas, and I believe Congress needs to take up legislation to promote greater energy independence. Please be assured that I will keep your views in mind as we continue developing a competitive national energy policy. I am committed to working with my colleagues in the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the full Senate to promote renewable energy.

Again, thank you for taking the time to share your views with me. If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. In addition, for more information about issues and activities important to Florida, please sign up for my weekly newsletter at http://martinez.senate.gov.

Sincerely,

Mel Martinez
United States Senator

Thank you for the heads up. I went to each website of my 2 Senators and Congressmen and sent an email. It went as follows:
------ --
Please support the Pickens Plan. Don't wait for gas prices to go up. There is no reason why all government vehicles and over-the-road trucks can't be Natural Gas.

Making these vehicles will 1. create jobs, 2. help the auto industry come back to life, 3. free up oil for the rest of the cars, 4. be more efficient.

Creating the infrustucture to pull this off will also create jobs.. in manufacturing the parts, in installing the Natural Gas Stations.

We need ALL the Pickens Plan, not just some of it.
Thank you.

Welcome Doug and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Here is how you can help.

EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES BY USING OUR EASY RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON - - 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 see that you are added to the list.

If you answered "YES" to interested in becoming an organizer, there are several things I can recommend. Join the following Groups:
Organizers & Leaders
OnLine Action Army
Guides & Materials for New Members

On the upper right corner of Your Page, click on "States" to visit the Push Pickens Community for your state.

Contact and "Friend" the New Energy Army Regional Leader for your state. You can find them to the right, in the Featured Members section. Let him/her know that I sent you there and you are interested in becoming an organizer.

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.

PICKENS U has been formed for college alumni and university students to get involved. If you are or know of a student who would like to become an ambassador to help coordinate the pledge drive, please submit names to Pickens U site (found on the Main page). This would look good on a job resume.

PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS We 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.

IDEAS & PROPOSALS FOR PICKENS
I know that many of you have great ideas and proposals that you would like to get in front of Boone's team...
They asked us to have you submit all ideas/proposals in writing to the Pickens Plan at: PO Box 12123 Dallas TX 75225.

PLEASE FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch. If there is any way I can help, please, let me know. If I don't have the answer, I will do my very best to get you the answer.

Thanks again for joining this historical effort. WE CAN DO THIS.

Leslie - Welcome Wagon Volunteer

Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
None

My experience is in the financial realm: Intl CPA, Wall St Corp Finance, Bank Holding Co. president
What excites you about this campaign?
Continued dependency upon foreign oil will leave the future of America, the greatest country in the history of the world, in the hands of our sworn enemies. That is a recipe for disaster.

Our politicians have sold out to the oil interests and other mega groups. It is critical that a grass roots movement achieve success. It is our only hope.
What do you want to do to help?
Whatever it takes.
