Tricia,
I agree, there is nothing wrong with companies and making money. We also work very hard at keeping this site Non-Partisan and not belligerent. If you run into people acting badly, feel free to contact me, I will help. There are also a lot of others who work hard at keeping this place a civil forum for discussions about energy. Any of the featured regional leaders are a good resource is you need a hand.
Sorry you ran into a jerk right off. I am glad you have joined and look forward to your participation.
Tricia,
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.
