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 was raised with a pot belly wood stove sitting in the middle of our kitchen that provided heat for a family of 6 children. We would bank that stove with coal at night so that we had some heat throughout the night. We moved on to an oil burning furnace as I grew up. Even as recent as 10 - 12 years ago when I had a family of my own, my husband and I installed a wood burning stove in our basement with registers installed in the floors to heat our home instead of using the baseboard heaters. We also burned wood in our fireplace. This method saved us a lot of money, but was a lot of work cutting and bringing in the wood to see us through the harsh winters of Upstate New York.

What excites you about this campaign?

What excites me the most is the independence from countries who are "fat cats" because of the money we are paying them for products that we can provide for ourselves here in our own country.

What do you want to do to help?

I can email friends and neighbors to get them to join this worthwhile cause. I can and will write letters asking for support from agencies if I am provided with names and addresses. I will join others in my area who want this independence as much as my husband and I do.

Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Here is how you can help.

EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES -
This is urgent, because the Energy Bill in Congress is in danger of not passing! We are blessed that the creators of this site have given us the ability, with little effort, 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 will certainly try 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!

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 perinent ifno.

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

Kevin
