Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I am a partner is a small engineering/manufacturing company that collects and processes landfill gas. In the past we have collected and safely burned the gas which greatly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Recently we have started participating in waste energy projects. Now we can take this same waste gas and use it to create electricity.

What excites you about this campaign?

The opportunity to expand the use of alternative energy resources.

What do you want to do to help?

teach, provide examples of alternative energy being used today.

EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES BY USING OUR EASY RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON – On the main page…

This is urgent, because the Energy Bill in Congress is in danger of not passing! 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 ASAP. When we are millions strong, we can achieve this.

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.

FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out Pickens "August Call to Action"- for a course of action! Here is an informative video "Topeka, Kansas Town Hall Meeting": http://www.pickensplan.com/news/2008/08/04/video-of-the-topeka-town-hall

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 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.

PLEASE FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch. I do updates on new member numbers and pertinent info.

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

What is the minimum $ amount to complete the smallest installation that is economicaly viable?
If memory serves the question of net metering was addressed by the courts in a WI case. Have you heard of this decision?
Could your company use a great sales/marketing person?

I think of all the small rural towns that would benefit from this and know that most of them can't begin to invest the kind of money you suggest.

I will get back to you later, for more details of course. Right now I'm trying to decide where I go next. I am amazed at the response to this initiative.

Thanks again,
Lu
