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.

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.
