Welcome!! Thank you for joining District Group New Jersey-11 for Morris County (along with some surrounding areas). We are glad to have you!!!! By adding your name to this roll-call you have enhanced a unified voice in the halls of our government by calling for the imperative of our focus on Energy Efficiency, Conservation, and the Development of Alternative Clean Energy Options. We now have a new President who has energized the imagination of our country and the world by proclaiming…..YES WE CAN and we feel…..YES WE WILL. Please reach out to others that you know within our area to join the group and feel free to participate by posting in the discussion area any relative information about renewable energy, conservation, current trends, especially if they are about the efforts of our governmental leadership here in Morris County and New Jersey..
In addition to this discussion group, since we believe that in order to make a complete mind-set change we have to bring awareness to our young people; therefore, we have started a new discussion group called T. BOONE ROUD-UP. It suggests K-12 education for conservation be added to core curriculum and a painless way for the Fed to provide State's with an incentive to do so. Although idea is still taking shape, take a look and let us know what you think. Here is the link: http://push.pickensplan.com/group/tbooneroundup
Finally please “Friend” both Jack and me so we have everyone covered. Thanks for all your support on this campaign and please don’t hesitate to become involved…..and lastly, YES WE WILL.
P.S. Stay tuned for our next gathering….we are cooking up something good.
Sincerely your NJ-11 Leaders:
Jim Muhaw
Co-Leader

We are planning a meet and greet on Sunday, February 8th at 3pm at the Lake Valhalla Club House, Vista Road, Montville. There will be a coffee, light refreshments (a small contribution is asked to offset the cost) and a cash bar. We look forward to having the chance for everyone to meet and put a face to the names you may already know. It will be an important opportunity also to discuss your individual views and ideas about the progress of NJ-11’s Congressional District group and the objecitves of the Pickens Plan overall.
The Lake Valhalla Club is a great setting so please feel free to bring a friend..or a couple of friends, neighbor (even ones you don't like) or relative (Grandma and Grandpa that remember the Great Depression) or anyone who just may be curious about a group of Americans who want to see their country become energy independent and our World sustainable and cleaner. All are welcome!!! Please RSVP by or before Feb 1st., so we can plan ahead. Please make your best effort to attend. Drop a note or call with any questions.

I'm in South Jersey raising a Timber Frame. Our District Member meeting was postponed because of delays here at the job. We plan to reschedule soon and will keep you in the loop. We're very interested in meeting you and the other members to discuss the plan and what affect we can have in our district.
In the meantime the best thing you can do is spread the word within your own realm of contacts. Everyone who shows up on my projects is signed in before they drive a nail...last night I signed on the server at Bennigan's. I signed the two postal workers while mailing a package at my local post office. All you need is their name and eMail or zipcode.
No one will bug them, and they don't have to join...we just need the numbers and especially before Inauguration day. I carry the petition form with me wherever I go. You can download and print it here: http://media.pickensplan.com/downloads/PP/pollingsignupsheet.pdf
Fax it in or sign on to MyEnergy at the Take Action site and you can send the names electronically.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Regards,
Jack Costantino, DL, NJ-11
