The Importance of Seeing This Through - And "Thank You's"
T. Boone Pickens states that we are exporting this country's wealth to other countries, to the tune of $700 billion a year. He is entirely correct. Every credible economist will tell you that large trade deficits are unsustainable. It is essential - and critical - that we reduce our imports - especially of oil.
In my over 25 years of studying the economy, the global financial markets, and U.S. trade policy, the PickensPlan is the first large-scale strategy I have seen that can successfully tackle a great portion of our trade deficit problem. Hence, it is essential that the PickensPlan come to fruition. If it does not, I do not foresee another major chance to attack this problem before it is too late. The future of the American Dream is literally in the hands of PickensPlan and its supporters. I urge all of you to empower other members of this grassroots movement to succeed, by providing them with the tools and resources to spread the word and to advocate for specific policies designed to achieve the identified goals. The time is now.
Moreover, if you do this, you will be able to look back in the years to come and tell your children and grandchildren of the time when - "I really made a difference ... Together with other concerned citizens, I propelled a movement forward which changed the future of America - and individual Americans - for the better. Your time has arrived to positively impact the lives of all Americans." ... Seize this moment.
Abraham Lincoln once wrote: "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew." Nearly 150 years later, in this present time, Lincoln's words ring true again - for as T. Boone Pickens has stated, "This is one emergency we cannot drill ourselves out of." We can meet this challenge. We can share our creative thoughts, undertake actions, come together, and truly make a difference.
Lastly, thank you to the "behind-the-scenes" team at PickensPlan. They have improved the site tremendously with the “Daily Pickens” (I love that name), and by adding zip codes to member profiles (which will aid in future communications). With nearly 100,000 members, and many others who have signed up to receive e-mail alerts, they are likely swamped with requests and the need to attend to hundreds of matters each day. “Kudos” to each of them for their devotion and for their efforts to support the PickensPlan members and this incredible grass-roots movement. And more “kudos” to the many volunteer members who have, and continue to, provide encouragement and support to other members, and who take action in advance of this worthy cause. Thank you all. Ron
