Excellent, Hugh! I'll be curious as to how it went. I'm thinking of taking petitions to business meetings here in Fairbanks and I've been looking for ideas.
I've noticed Alaska has a very large number of alternate energy groups already. I'm wondering if you have contacts to any of them? Asking them to come out and endorse and join the Pickens Plan would be a big boost for our state's effectiveness. Joyce
Welcome and THANK YOU for joining the Pickens Plan. I just wanted to let you know that a real person out here appreciates you taking that first step.
After you've had a chance to settle in, please let me know if there's anything I can do to guide your path. The basic first steps are reviewing the current topics in the Forum, and when you are comfortable, letting others know about the website. The people here are interested in making the plan a success and those you invite should be able to see for themselves that this is the right place to be.
Here are further steps you might consider.
- Sign up to lead or help on the District page.
- Visit the My Energy page and get involved.
- Work your contacts to increase press coverage.
- Write to congressional representatives directly.
- Use Pickens Action buttons or call (202)225-3121.
- Speak out for ending our dependence on foreign oil.
- Write letters to the editor of your local paper.
- Download flyers/etc from here or here.
- Download the Petition and ask others to sign it.
- Start a company to build wind turbines/solar panels.
- Start a financing firm to invest in those companies.
- Tell everyone you know about PickensPlan.com.
Decide for yourself what you can do, but definitely do something.
Welcome once again, Happy Holidays and thanks for signing up.

Profile Information
Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I was a volunteer lobbist for Alaska Conservation Voter advocating solar, wind and alternative energy solutions beyond gas and oil. I have been active for over 15 years.
What excites you about this campaign?
It is grassroots and maybe I can get support for my small business to advnace energy alternatives while T. Boone Pickens and other with deep pockets have money to help this approach to engaing more African Americans in the process.
What do you want to do to help?
call congress, meet with my federal representatives that have favored more oil development and convince them that the Pickens Plan is the future. I am a community organizer and will organize African Americans in this cause.
