There's a push right now in Washington for the ethanol blend limit to rise to 15 percent from the current 10 percent. This needs to happen for cellulosic ethanol to ever get off the ground. Ethanol has basically penetrated the market as much as it...

Welcome Matt and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Below are some suggestions on how you can help.

EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES BY USING OUR EASY RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON - - With little effort, we have the ability here for you to send a letter to President Obama, our Representatives in Washington and your Governor, too.

Go to the MY ENERGY page. Register and make your voice count.
Go to THE PLEDGE Lend your voice to the call for American energy independence Fill in the short, standard form. Done!

Download the pledge/petition : get them signed, fax them in to the 888# at the bottom of the pledge, asap.
This is how we build our numbers fast! Be a leader, be a part of the "100 CLUB", by faxing in 100 signed pledge. Let Kim Anderson know when you are done and she will see that you are added to the list.

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.
Join us for a March on Washington.

If you answered "YES" to Interested in becoming an organizer, there are several things I can recommend. Join the following Groups:

On the upper right corner of Your Page, click on "States" to visit the Push Pickens Community for your state.
Contact and "Friend" the New Energy Army Regional Leader for your state; you can find them to the right, in the Featured Members section. Let him/her know that I sent you there and you are interested in becoming an organizer.

PICKENS U We are recruiting "Campus Coordinators" for colleges and universities to represent the Pickens Plan on campus. We are looking for someone who can create a college page on the Pickens Plan site and also on Facebook encouraging folks to sign up for the Pickens Plan.
If you are connected to a college or university in your state, can be a campus coordinator, or can help find a campus coordinator, please let me know so we can get the process rolling.

A GROUP FOR EVERYONE
Join the Guides and Materials for New Members Group
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 Pickens Plan related Group of your own.

IDEAS & PROPOSALS FOR PICKENS I know that many of you have great ideas and proposals that you would like to get in front of Boone's team...
They asked us to have you submit all ideas/proposals in writing to the Pickens Plan at: PO Box 12123 Dallas TX 75225.

If there is any way I can help, please, let me know. If I don't have the answer, I will do my very best to get you the answer.
Thanks again for joining this historical effort. TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS.

Welcome!
We are a voluntary community of individuals who are placing our combined support behind T. Boone Pickens and his efforts to send our government a clear (heard) message that we must reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil through the use of all domestic energy alternatives. This site is a place to interact with fellow Pickens Plan supporters, keep up with events and opportunities to help get more involvement. Look up your local leader from map on home pg.
Please, I ask the first 3 sites you visit to get accurate info and articles to see pretty much where the plan stands.
On the home page, click on About - Daily Pickens - Did You Know

We need to Push.PickensPlan.com – or “Push” as we like to call it.
Our future really does depend on us at this point in time!
If not now, WHEN? If not you, WHO
? I am proud to put my efforts towards this cause.

Well as they say (the large lady voiced the end). Neither candidate openly gave his support outright for our plan. Both knew about it and to a degree felt the intense support behind it. It goes back to another old saying, on the political platform be careful how far you put your foot in the door.

The Forums/discussions on this site are many and you’ll probably find something that interests or concerns you. Some are very long and were started months ago. For the ones that concern you, Please keep in mind, events are remembered and relayed differently by those commenting, which as we all too well know equals at least three sides to the event.
Again Welcome; Tom

Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
No
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I work for POET, the largest ethanol producer in the country. Energy independance is a top personal priority.
What excites you about this campaign?
The potential for wind power in South Dakota is incredible. It frustrates me that we haven't put the policies in place to take advantage of that, and I'd like to help make it happen.
What do you want to do to help?
I would attend events of support, write letters to govenment leaders and other key players in the effort.
