We would love to have you in the "!00CLUB". There are mor than 75 folks right now in the hunt- that's 7,500 new supporters in short order. Would be really happy to have your help- we certainly need your help.

Best

Lately I have gone out (on the web) seeking detractors of the plan and trying to convert them. Most people's criticisms stem from not getting the big picture and not spending any time getting to know this movement before they criticize it (the wind doesn't blow all the time, the price of natural gas will go up, swiftboats, bats)

Read this world bank report on ethanol.
Also, Boone's conversation with Bob Dole in 96 about ethanol in this article

Have you found the Iowa homepage yet? Your regional leader is Codi Prachar

Ron Rhodes has posted an enormous amount of information at Communications Support Group and the blog on his page.

I have posted a lot of mostly current event links at East Tennessee for Sustainable Infrastructure and people have joined from all over.

I appreciate your involvement

At 2:46am on September 25, 2008, Eric Lykins said…: Hi Bob,
Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Here is how you can help.

EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES -
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. PLEASE 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, and ONE RED BUTTON, that reads "CONTACT CONGRESS" . Fill in the short, standard form. Done!

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE PLEDGE, get them signed and faxed back to Boone. This is how we build our numbers fast! Be a leader, be a part of the "100 CLUB", by faxing in 100 signed pledges. Let Kim Anderson know when you are done and she will add you to the list.

YOU CAN 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.

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":

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.

Feel free to add me as a friend and ask any questions you have about the plan or navigation of the site.

Thanks again for joining this historical effort. WE CAN DO THIS
-Eric Lykins, Campaign Ambassador Volunteer
