October 1st was the first meeting in Tucson for the Pickens Plan. Together we have started to gather our recourses to get the word out. Many of the meeting members volunteered to contact their friends and family who can help us push the plan. Ideas were discussed regarding some of the areas that we will be most effective.
Our projects include:
Contacting members of our sphere of influence to get them signed up. Bring any effective tactics in signing up new members to the next meeting. If it was really good let me know and I will spread the word sooner.
Contact will be made to local alternative energy companies to get their support and membership. Our goal is to have these people help to pay for any printed materials that we may use to recruit new members and get new pledges.
Contact will be made to alternative energy organizations to develop rapport that will help us be more effective when approaching the local representatives and new members. Backing from these organizations will provide us with some much needed momentum.
Contact will be made to the local universities and other high traffic areas to try and get a booth out in front of the people.
The meeting was productive and we have determined the date and time of the next meeting to be on November 12th at 7:00pm-8:00pm. The location of our second meeting is to be determined as is the agenda. In the meantime if any of the above projects interest you please contact me. I will get you in touch with others so that we do not duplicate our efforts. If you would like a project not listed above please let me know and I will provide you with smaller projects that will help push the Pickens Plan.
“Our goal is to get more members to motivate more people to contact local representatives.” Since this is our goal I have provided this website to get you started.

The original plan is evolving to the next stage(see original description). It has become increasingly clear that telethons, though useful will only do so much. This meeting is going to need to go over more than the organization of a telethon. It will be unlikely that we can start waves of telethons.
The Pickens Plan needs more than that if it is to become big in Tucson. So here are the new plans for the meeting. I propose we set some organization in motion with some of the following tasks:
-Discussion of levels of involvement people are willing to do.
-Break up tasks to work on strengths.
-Develop plans to raise awareness.
-Pledges for energy independence
-Discuss volunteer ideas.
-Create structure to avoid duplication of efforts.
-Group think/meet new people for new ideas.
-Create resource lists
-Set up future meetings and optional phone lists
Teaming up is encouraged but not necessary; there are plenty of people who work just fine on their own without direction. Others become synergistic and can accomplish far more with teams.
Original description:
I would like to coordinate the efforts of a few willing volunteers to put together a telethon to get people on to the Pickens Plan. This event is just a meeting to set up the details. I am hoping that this will start a wave of telethons to sign up more members.
(do you have an idea that I should add?) tell me now before we meet and I will try to include what I can.
Time: October 1, 2008 from 7pm to 7:45pm
Location: Ike's coffee at 3400 E Speedway
Street: 3400 E Speedway
City/Town: Tucson

I can only send invites to friends so I am posting this on all 439 Tucson profiles, if the meeting gets large enough I will change the venue.
Who now has access to Boone, to ask him to tell Barack: "no more nuclear please, give us ocean thermal in the Gulf"?
