Take a minute and forward Boone's note this morning to all of your contacts. Add a simple message. I sent mine this morning along with this brief request: Good Afternoon! I hope you will take a minute to send an automatic email to all of our Washington Representatives and Senators asking them to support this important legislation necessary to get us off of foreign oil. We must keep the money in this country. December - 19 billion, January -14 billion, February 13 billion - all sent to the M… Continue

Thank you to those who attended the RI Forum. We received a front page article in the Providence Journal (RI's equivalent of the Boston Globe or NY Times) covering the event and Pickens Plan! This gave us better readership and exposure than any LTE I could write. I would recommend this format for every DL. The Forum had 5 panelists, each gave a brief 10-12 minute presentation and opened the floor to questions. Dr. Earle Scharff, who did all of the planning for this event, moderated. I wa… Continue

TONIGHT is our Panel Discussion/Forum to discuss RI's Role in Renewable/Alternative Energy and Conservation. If you live in or near RI or know someone who does, please join us. We would love to have you attend and add to the discussion. Let's show RI that PIckens Plan means business! After the forum, we will gather across the street for a casual "meet up" at McCormick & Schmicks! The forum will be held at: Providence City Hall Room 302 Wednesday March 11, 2009 7:00pm-9:0… Continue

The summit was amazing. We have been waiting for that kind of talk for a long time. However, until we can give Harry Reid 60 votes on transmission, smart grids and renewables... it is all still talk. While Boone stirs things up from the center of the storm, we MUST kick up the dust on the perimeter. WE MUST BUILD OUR NUMBERS. The bigger we are, the harder it will be for any politician to find a pocket deep enough to hide in. Please go to the virtual march page and manually sign up 10 new… Continue

Good Morning! This is a fantastic article in today's Providence Journal (RI's biggest newspaper) Please go to projo.com directly and read the article - I want to make it the "most read article" of the day, pushing it to the top of the list, encouraging more to read it! Need some help here! Thanks, Kim Our Governor HAS signed the pledge.... you can see why! Please, also, congratulate our 2 newest 100CLUB members - Richard Perez and Lorrie Lee. "Massive pieces of Portsmouth wind… Continue

Here is the best/most pertinent information on CNG- how it is inhibited and what we can do to push it along! Thank you Jerry McDonald, for this outstanding message. This, in parallel with this morning's video from Boone, telling us that Senator Reid is publicly supporting CNG, but needs us to apply more pressure, shows us how critical this moment is. This is the opportunity we have been waiting for! CAN WE CLOSE THE DEAL?! WE MUST all follow through and reach out to our Senators today!… Continue

EVERYONE should see this video: http://push.pickensplan.com/video/video/show?id=2187034:Video:1249346 It is very clear that even the pro alt/ren energy legislators acknowledge that they will need significant and vocal support to "push back" the naysayers and give them a place to hang their "political hat" to support this. IT IS PURLEY POLITICAL. PERIOD. END OF STORY. Our success will be in our numbers! PLEASE GET YOUR PLEDGES SIGNED! Fax them in! We all meet so many people everyday, and they h… Continue

We are recruiting "Campus Coordinators" for colleges and universities to represent the Pickens Plan on campus. 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. The ultimate goal of the Pickens Plan is to get MILLIONS signed up by next January when we will take our ARMY to Congress to demand independence from foreign oil. If you are connected to a college or university in your state (or in the Nort… Continue

Put your effort where your anger is! "PLEDGES" are the best way to build this army fast. It is an easy ask- Boone has done the hard work. Download them, get them signed, fax them back. When you hit 100, let us know, we will add you to the group! If half the folks that said they would do "anything" to spread the word participated, we would have more than a million supporting this effort in short order. We are not asking folks to take up arms, but THIS IS OUR REVOLUTION. Do we have the fortitude?… Continue
