Rapid responders for Boone are a group of leadership minded folks who want to make a real difference for the Pickens Plan by taking Boone's message to every corner of the internet and defending the Pickens Plan against unfair and unwarranted attacks.
From Codi:
I wanted to pass along a great idea that Steven Rawlings, NY-29 DL had. He sent the following message to members of his group. You might want to consider doing the same!

Thanks,

- Hi Jeri, Here is a way to help and give tools to all of us for getting more RE projects started. I have been pushing for the sell of US Treasury "Energy Independence Savings Bonds". Savings bonds are normally purchased in $25 increments. This gives a way for just about any American to tighten their belts just a bit by skipping a meal at McDonalds or Pizza Hut and buying a RE savings bond to support a project. I need help pushing this project, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already. My email is ke6cvh@yahoo.com. Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi yesterday:
27FEB09
Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,
I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.
Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.
I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.
Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07.

Alice Helmer said… - Hi Jerri: I may be wrong but it looks like no one from MO has signed up to support Boone Pcikens Energy Plan. Do we have addressed for them? How are we to do this? This plan of Mr. Pickens is so important. Missouri needs to get to Mr. Obama and get his attention. The money the US would save is mind boggling rather than sending it out of our country. We need to help Mr. Pickens win his fight. Thanks Alice & Dave Helmer. What to do?

I am interested in speaking with you about our business efforts to open a plant to manufacture hydrogen on demand generation units which create outstanding fuel economy for anything from a trash truck to a volvo, home heating and industrial heating as well as gas welding systems.
Please call me at 314 220 2498.
It seems funding is the issue now, so I would like to know what the bill in congress is going to do about the best kept secred in the alternate energy biz.

jim felder m.d. said… - I have an interest in 'run of river' power for production of hydrogen, electrons or compressor power for CNG or hydrogen storage tanks. I favor Boones plan for CNG in transition to a hydrogen economy. Germany's hydrogen fuel cell submarine is astounding , as are the air cars. The volume of alternate energy R&D may actually lead to congressional inertia re; economic stimulus, subsidies, etc. jim

- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- I totally endorse alternative energy! I believe our reliance on foreign oil is absurd! I have been researching wind, solar and geothermal energy companies and buying stocks in support of the companies I believe to be valid. I really truly want to be able to get an electric car and power it off of a solar panel - even if the initial investment is higher. I was in GREENSBURG, Kansas 30 hours after the EF-5 tornado devastated the community and lived near there the next 11 months - I saw first hand the windstorms that are commonplace there - all that wind energy is going to waste! There are wind farms being developed around Kansas now - but it's long past time for more wind energy farms, geothermal energy farms and the like to be developed all over the US. We are sitting on a gold mine of power yet few are doing anything with our natural resources!
- What excites you about this campaign?
- I am all for alternative energy sources! Geothermal, wind, solar - anything that helps to remove our reliance on foreign oil and brings JOBS and MONEY to our fellow US citizens. I have traveled extensively while assisting with national disasters - what I see nationwide is most everyone in all communities, in all walks of life, are hurting - the middle class and the lower class are barely making it day to day!
Picken's Plan is inspiring! I now talk to complete strangers while out running typical errands such as while shopping or at the post office - I am finding these concerns are on most everyone's minds. Everyone sees the problems, but no one seems to know what to do - Pickens is trying to show us WE HAVE THE POWER! Com'on Americans! Let's unite and get this moving forward!
- What do you want to do to help?
- I have over a decade of experience at organizing people over the Internet. Com'on AMERICA! WE HAVE THE POWER!!
I help organize by:
1 - inviting my friends and family here to the PickensPlan website
2 - I started a group here for my local community so we can share thoughts, concerns and ideas such as where to distribute PickensPlan Flyers
3 - getting my family involved
4 - I TALK TO COMPLETE STRANGERS ABOUT THIS PLAN and invite them to JOIN US!
5 - I greet new members here, and older members, and members who joined in between. Com'on! You can greet members, too! Leave other members a quick comment and thank them for being here!
Great video by the Pickens Plan Production Team!
