Hey Teri; I was reading your profile and I am sorry to here about your financial situation. Your husband fought for our Country and you should not have to worry about anything right now.I hope your daughter becomes successful in business and helps you out some.
You should be made aware of all the programs that are available to you that you should qualify for. Contact your electric provider and ask them if your State has a heap program. It might go under a nother name in your state, but the federal government pays millions of heating bills for the poor so they wont freeze to death.
I started a group called Inexpensive Clean Energy here @ pickens plan and I posted many links on the near top left of the page. Some links might be helpful to you such as financing, incentives,energy star and others.
Some only offer to help pay for home efficiency improvements and energy star products, Others are tax breaks. I dont know if you work but you should go to the group and check out the links regardles.
I think it's kool that you weld. I am trying to get more expiperience on that. I also want wind turbines to be more artsy. I have seen photos of many prety ones but you never see them in the market or the field.
My busines is going slow because of the economy but thanks to President Obama lots of money is going to be spent on this field.
I want to use the fact that people can get financial help from the government to help offset the coast as a selling point. Also most energy companies need to buy some percent of renewable energy and are hooking up Net Metering ( a two way meter )so if you have a wind turbine or solar panels you can sell your energy to them on windy or sunny days when you produce more energy than you use. You can also buy energy on days you need more than you produce. This is not available yet in Lubbock Texas but it is being worked on and should be available soon. That plus more low interest loans, government grant and tax credits and rebates it becomes an easier sell.
The Government also has loans and grant for businesses that promote energy efficiency. Not only is that a good selling point for business clients but My business might actualy qualify for this and that will help raise capital to get moving and expanding.
I wish you the best. I hope you get the help you need for your energy cost. Please join my group and tell others. I'm sure you will love it.
Hey Guys,
Let’s get moving!
Our local leaders in Washington need to hear from us.
The inauguration is just about here!
We need more Pickens Plan members.
Everything you need is under “Take Action” on the website.
Click on the “Take Action” tab at the top of the page, there are
4 easy things you can do with your computer right from your key board-
1. Join your District
2. Contact Congress
3. Email Obama
4. Tell a Friend
Thank you for your support!

Terri, Hope all is well with you, your daughter and family. Here is a link to a cool website I think you might enjoy. Best wishes for a better New Year. Leslie
Check this group out: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ModernVictoryMovement/
Your idea of Victory Gardens seems to be a great idea whose time has come again.
PS: I hate to mention it, but maybe a painting or two will cover your mortgage until you can find suitable income. That way you'll have a home to house yourself, and your beautiful memories. Have you tried Medical Transcription? It can be done from home (with that internet connection), and can bring considerable income, even for starters. If you make the mortgage payments, and find a source for solar or wind power materials, I would be glad to assist installing those items for you. Good fortune!
Thanks for the comment. I will send your suggestion forward--they have been doing Boonecam at most of the events and showing them on site. If it gets on there I'll post it on my page! Please accept my friend request so we can keep in touch.
I always knew you were a Genius..........................

FANTASTIC idea! Give it a try and let me know hiw it goes. My thought is that you may get some, but many will take them and never do anything, as good as their intentions may be. I find it is always better for me to get their name on the dotted line..... you know.... a bird in the hand!
Have a llovely evening.
BTW, It does not take long to get 10 names. If folks would just carry the paper with them, they can get it done.

Hi Teri!
Thank you for the friend. I wish there was some way to help you. Seems like if you could get some kind of employment for all those skills and capabilities you have, you would be happier and more capable of taking care of yourself. Is there any way to do that? Pickens could use your help, but I hope for you to help yourself first. Along the way, if you are able to get some neighbors and friends to sign on to the site, we would appreciate that.
Best of luck to you, Teri
I will be thinking of you
Kim
Hey; Sorry 4 getting lost. You are on my list. I have no idea how many people I have sent my Greeting speech and i loose it 1's in a while.
I'll send a note.
Welcome Teri 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 President Obama, our Representatives in Washington and your Governor, too.
Go to the MY ENERGY page. Register and make your voice count.
Go to GROUPS and join us for a March on Washington.
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 DOWNLOADTHE 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.
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.

Hi Teri!
Welcome to an exciting time at Pickens Plan! We have grown to almost 1.4 million suporters since June - just 5 months. There are now less than 70 days until Inauguration Day - we must put it into overdrive!
The Senate's "Gang of 20" and Thomas Friedman, celebrated columnist and author, have all stated that the only way to get the action we need on energy is to build this grass roots effort to un-ignorable heights. (Read at DAILY PICKENS) We need to keep our eye on that goal!
Please get 10 signed pledges faxed in today. It is easy, Boone has done the hard work already. When I brought mine to the UPS Store to fax them, the new owner and his wife signed the pledge. They were huge supporters, but had not had time to go online and just do it. There are so many folks out there like them - we just need to spread the word AND take names.
Many hands make light work. Can you help? JUST 10!
3. fax them in to the 888# at the bottom of the pledge, asap.
Gratefully
Kim
Please congratulate our two newest 100CLUB members -
1. Jeff Greene with Wise Gas, Inc is developing the natural gas infrastructure in Florida and was able to promote the Pickens Plan through their website www.wisegasinc.com and by handing out water to voters and soliciting their support.
http://push.pickensplan.com/profile/JeffGreene
2. Gary C. Boldt worked for several weeks on this and did not let an election day car accident prevent him from getting the job finished on that day!
http://push.pickensplan.com/profile/GaryCBoldt
Please visit both men and thank them personally for their outstanding efforts!
Welcome!Young lady
We are a voluntary community of individuals who are placing our combined support behind T. Boone Pickens and his efforts to send our government a clear (heard) message that we must reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil through the use of all domestic energy alternatives. This site is a place to interact with fellow Pickens Plan supporters and keep up with events and opportunities to help get more involvement. On home pg, look in Daily Pickens to keep up.
We need to Push.PickensPlan.com – or “Push” as we like to call it.
Our future really does depend on us at this point in time!
If not now, WHEN? If not you, WHO? Look up your regional leader. Also Click on (Group) Guides and materials. look up group signs/stickers
If your able Check out cafepress.com for more advertising material.
Again Welcome; Tom
I am proud to put my efforts towards this cause.
Well as they say (the large lady voiced the end). Neither candidate openly gave his support outright for our plan. Both new about it and to a degree felt the intense support behind it. It goes back to another old saying (be careful what you wish for, or on the political platform be careful how far you put your foot in the door.)
Keep in mind As Sara Lee tells us (you cannot please all the people all the time).
You are not alone. I do not have the answer. I do feel we are in the era of a major change. Do you belong to a church, are there any food banks?
