Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- No
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- Very little to date. Tried to influence GM executives on the issue of making more vehicles powered by natural gas available here in the USA. Technology is there (Europe) and all that is needed is an infastructure for refill, suggested they make this available through their dealership structure.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- It is badly needed. Politicians running for high office need to have their feet held to the fire of committing to a plan of alternate energy reduction and independence. Thank God for your effort--saw your presentation at the National Press Club luncheon today and you were GREAT!!!!!
- What do you want to do to help?
- Spread the word. Convince family members and friends of the importance of moving to alternative energy sources.

A message from Judy DePalma, our New England organizer, from Boone's team:
"You may have seen Boone’s email to the Army about the stimulus package. The package includes wind energy elements and we want to generate activity around this email before Congress votes on the package on WEDNESDAY. This is what we’ve been waiting for. It’s time for the rubber to hit the road and take action to let Congress know we are serious about wind energy and the stimulus package.
We want to generate this activity through phone calls to members of Congress. (phone numbers at the bottom of this message)
This is the first big phase of action in making the Pickens Plan become reality. We have been building the Army for months in anticipation. Now is the time for us to be heard.
Thanks again, everyone. I look forward seeing your results! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. -Judy

Talking Points:
- Urge them to tell House Leadership that their constituents support the wind energy elements included in the Stimulus Bill which will build upon 2008's successes in the wind energy sector:
- Extension of the Production Tax Credit
- Implementation of a renewable infrastructure loan program
- We hope they're willing to doing more on the natural gas side and provide the INCENTIVES that will greatly expand the use of domestic natural gas as a vehicle fuel in America. Expanded use of NGVs (natural gas vehicles) will help wean us off of foreign oil and create new American jobs.
These incentives include:
- Increasing the vehicle tax credit to make natural gas trucks more accessible for heavy and medium duty truck operators
- Extending the fuel tax credit
The Pickens Plan works best as a whole plan - wind and natural gas - and we hope Members of Congress will support that.
The Stimulus Bill is a strong start but there's more we can - and should - do.
IT IS URGENT TO GENERATE AS MANY CALLS TO OUR DC REPRESENTATIVES AS WE POSSIBLY CAN!.
This is what we have been waiting for - LEGISLATION that can make a difference!
PLEASE let me know if you are able to make a call.... OR join RI-01 or RI-02 and post it there. Boone's team is tring to gauge what kind of pressure we are able to apply- we need to hear from you! LET's ROLL.
THANK YOU,
KIM
Glad to have you here. Thank you for lending your support.
I am a lifelong Rhode Islander. I am working with the Pickens Plan folks to help with the "Pickens U" - college campaign. Do you know of someone in Rhode Island, at one of the colleges or universities here, that would want to get involved with supporting the Pickens Plan, and help us get off foreign oil, and on to American alternative and renewable energy sources! Now more than ever most folks realize the urgency of keeping that 700 billion a year here in our economy!
We have direct support from the top. This would be outstanding on a resume and be very fulfilling work for the right person.
Best Personal Regards
Kim Anderson
