John -
I am over in Baghdad doing some contract woork for the DoD. In a week I am going to the Alternative Energy conference in Abu Dhabi, UAE to meet with possible contractors for solar projects in the region ..looking for new engineering work when my job is done in Baghdad later this year. I would like to meet you and discuss some topics when I am back in Marietta the following week after the trade show.

John a belated welcome to our local group in Dalton, Ga. We meet once a month if you ever have time to come join up with us. Georgians For Energy Independence was the first organized meeting of the Pickens Plan in the USA and we held our first meeting the 1st day T. Boone came on TV. I had almost 50 people attend that night. I was member number 95 or something like that and Oct 11, 2008 we reached member 1,000,000. Pretty fast growing army. I know you are always very politically active and have done a lot over the years at the state level to serve and protect. We are honored to have you as a member of our group.

Good morning John. I would love to visit Georgia. Please let me know when you come to the Washington, DC area; you can be our guest. I agree that this project is of uptmost importance; we all need to take time from our busy schedules to advocate.
Welcome! It is such an encouragement to see people in the political arena supporting alternative energy. As a native brazilian, living in the US, I want to see changes, opportunities and cleaner air for future generations.
Thanks for being a part of this advocacy.
Regards,
Dayse Taruselli
I want congratulate all those Georgian's who have started local Pickens Plans chapters and organizations. I am at your service to visit with your group and speak about the need for this plan and how to work to get the attention of other elected officials who have not yet endorsed this great plan.
John Oxendine calls on Georgians to Support T. Boone Pickens - The Pickens Plan
"America must start to fuel our cars and trucks with renewable energy. America's natural gas is cheaper, cleaner, abundant, and domestic. We have more than five times as much natural gas as we do oil. By shifting natural gas away from generating electricity, and putting it to use as a transportation fuel, we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil by more than one-third."
I am proud to support T. Boone Pickens and the Pickens' Plan for energy independence. Mr. Pickens has demonstrated that real solutions almost always have their origins in the private sector not the bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Pickens spoke to the Georgia Republican delegation at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota. I listened carefully to his remarks and have since visited www.pickensplan.com and read papers on the plan.
With enthusiasm, I join with Mr. Pickens and offer my support to this creative and innovative plan to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. Mr. Pickens is correct; our country is addicted to foreign oil. That addiction threatens our economy, our environment, and our national security. We must act and act now!
I see a great synergy in America, and I am proud to support the outstanding leadership of Speaker Newt Gingrich. I was among the first candidates to sign the pledge to Drill Here, Drill Now, and Pay Less. Likewise, Mr. Pickens understands that his plan is a bridge to the future - as he says, "a blueprint to reduce foreign oil dependence within ten years by harnessing clean domestic energies." It takes the type of leadership that Speaker Gingrich and Mr. Pickens are offering to save America.
I have added a link to www.pickensplan.com to my website. I ask all Georgians to visit and sign up to support the Pickens' Plan. There are several local Georgia Pickens' Plan groups. I have joined many of them and encourage Georgians to join as well. Let's all work together to send a message to Washington, D.C. that Georgia wants to both Drill Here, Drill Now, and Pay Less, and implement the Pickens' Plan as a bridge for the future of energy in America.
I call on the President and the Congress to establish rights-of-way for transmission of electricity generated from renewable resources, to extend the existing renewable energy production tax credits, and to provide incentives for alternative fuel vehicles. America must start to fuel our cars and trucks with renewable energy. America's natural gas is cheaper, cleaner, abundant, and domestic. We have more than five times as much natural gas as we do oil. By shifting natural gas away from generating electricity, and putting it to use as a transportation fuel, we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil by more than one-third. This will buy America time to perfect renewable fuels that will never run out.
