Welcome Scott and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Here is how you can help.
EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES BY USING OUR EASY RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON - - With little effort, we have the ability here for you to send a letter to our Representatives in Washington and Governor, too.
Go to THE PLEDGE
Lend your voice to the call for American energy independence 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 are trying 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 to Boone ASAP. 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 me know when you are done and I will see that you are added to the list.
If you answered "YES" to Interested in becoming an organizer, there are several things I can recommend. Join the following Groups:
Organizers & Leaders
OnLine Action Army
Guides & Materials for New Members
On the upper right corner of Your Page, click on "States" to visit the Push Pickens Community for your state.
Contact and "Friend" the New Energy Army Regional Leader for your state; you can find them to the right, in the Featured Members section. Let him/her know that I sent you there and you are interested in becoming an organizer.
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.
PICKENS U We are recruiting "Campus Coordinators" for colleges and universities to represent the Pickens Plan on campus. We are looking for someone who can create a college page on the Pickens Plan site and also on Facebook encouraging folks to sign up for the Pickens Plan.
If you are connected to a college or university in your state, can be a campus coordinator, or can help find a campus coordinator, please let me know so we can get the process rolling.
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
2) influence public policy.
3) If you know someone who is in the press, or someone who blogs, get them to cover this and ask those in the public eye to support this plan.

Scott,
I am glad to be the first to welcome you. We are all glad to assist. You will find that everyone's helpful. I usually put my last name on my signature because we have a couple of Kim's and often times people get us confused.
Honestly, I don't recall the date in which I started activity on this site, but I believe it was in July.
Please note that I am not on this site daily, but I do check it as often as possible. Hope you find some great information, have fun and keep in touch.
I watch the Crimson Tide. Are they going to have a good season? I just love all sports, I'm watching the St. Louis Cardinals as I welcome new members. I always learn so much from just reading profiles.

My welcome message~Hello, My name is Linda C.
I hope you enjoy your experience on PickensPlan.com. Check the Daily Pickens for updates and the Events to see if something is happening near you. If I can help you in anyway or answer questions, just ask. New friends are welcome.
I have a group calledSeniors Online Supporterswhere everyone is welcome. Please stop by and look around.
Scott, Kiss the Green Earth is the lead Ethanol site on the plan. Luis has been doing a bang up job discussing all of the issues and helping to bring up potential problems through his insightful questions as he learns more.
Your welcome Scott. We are a bunch of volunteers who are pretty committed to making this whole thing work We kind of tag team welcoming people aboard and helping them out if they need or want it. If you are interested there are many groups in the organization and I will bet you will find one of like minded folks who have similar interests to you in solving the problem. Be it E85, small wind or solar. there are areas where businesses can promote their services and others where people are collaborating on new solutions. Good luck and welcome aboard.
Scott,
Welcome aboard. I can't tell you what to organize because it appears to be specific to where you live. Your town or city may have all the right pieces in place, it probably does not.
One place you can effect the system right away is at the Daily Pickens page.There you can contact your Congress people by clicking on the big red "Contact Congress button in the upper right hand side of the page. This will let you tell all the congress people in your area and tell them that you support the Pickens plan and that you want them to. This is very important right now. They need to know that you are concerned about our over dependence on oil and that they must join us in fixing this decades old problem. This is also an excellent page to find new events and information to help you in your effort.
I am trying to get a meeting with my congressional rep and senators. I have put together a letter with others help and sent it out. I am also trying to affect my city and state zoning laws by lobbying them to change. Anything you can afford to do time wise is what is needed. This problem is big and there is no silver bullet. It will only die by the death of a thousand cuts. Each one of us has a small knife and we need to make our mark.
Each of us has to change our behavior and then change the laws, zoning and attitudes of others around us. If you need help, let me know. I will do what I can though it might not be much. I will help.
