Tamara,
Thanks for the comment about the Common Sense can. I wish I could send one to all Hummer owners and probibly would if I had their addresses. If you would like to send one to someone you can find them at www.inacangreetings.com. Use the Contact Us page to mail me personally.
Take Care,

Our mission is to educate, organize and represent beneficiaries in the adoption of a Renewable Energy Payment policy mechanism. We are launching a public relations marketing campaign focused on the advancement of a REP policy. By way of gaining broad support for this effort we will be engaging in a three pronged approach. First is to educate and influence the policy makers, elected officials and decision makers. Second is to educate the current and future members of the alliance through workshops, board meetings and presentations. Third is to educate and stimulate the public into taking action through their support and involvement.
The reasons we believe a REP policy will be effective are simple but very powerful. First they are transparent and easy to understand. Second they provide access to anyone and everyone who wishes to produce renewable energy, creating a level playing field for producers, individuals and businesses of all sizes. Third they provide no limit or cap on the upside of production, thus allowing a truly self directed market. Fourth and perhaps most important they offer ability to be financed, creating a whole new lending market and a whole new industry.
Stakeholders in FARE include renewable energy producers, individual residents of the state of Florida, community organizations, municipalities, elected officials, ranchers, farmers, commercial real estate holders, developers, manufacturers, non profits and associations.
Our goal is to represent one collective effort showing support for advancing rapid, widespread deployment of renewable energy in the state of Florida. Our alliance will act as a public face in front of elected officials, potential members, community organizations, municipalities, like-minded initiatives, and the media. The alliance will also serve as an information hub, acting as a central source for collection and distribution of news, whitepapers, press releases and member activity.
Our three basic platforms for the REP mechanism are job creation, energy independence and environmental stewardship. During the 2009 legislative session we will advocate implementation of REPs with the House and Senate in Florida as well as the Governor and his team.

Some really good stuff you've added to your page Tam!. Hey, looks like I might get the boot from the PP. If you want to trade any more info, you can use docsetc@msn.com. Apparently I stand up too strong for the truth on this think. See you over on our other site, so our conversations without crazed Leftist propaganda can go on fruitfully.
Maybe we'll see you there someday too. Good luck on here.
I put up a new forum supporting Palin Tamara, you may like it.

Hi Tamara
Please CONGRATULATE Rhonda Brown on being invited to the 100CLUB today! She has faxed in more than 136 signatures, and going for more. Her daughter is also in the pledge push challenge and will have 100 before election day. These ladies rock. Here is Rhonda's page address:
http://push.pickensplan.com/profile/RhondaBrown.
Go to the 100CLUB group page to see how she did it. It is very inspiring and motivational:
http://push.pickensplan.com/group/100pledgeclub
I added a comment to your blog 'DNC PREPARE TO VACATE TICKET, HOWARD DEAN TO JAIL' pending your approval. Quite frankly, it was more of a comment and do not ever care if it is posted, but it is pertinent to your blog,
I joined this site to learn more about what is going on fully realizing that some would take it over to harrass those of us who disagree with them politically. Goodness, guess I grew up in Texas and am not used to the brutal world of the radical left.
Living in Colorado is a great place for discussion about the pertinent energy issues and am slowly acquainting myself with this site. Guess there is a flurry of new people joining as I have only received one welcome message, but that is fine, I get to be independent as always.
Please congratulate Dianna Brown, she has joined the 100CLUB today- for those that fax/send in more that 100 signed pledges! In addition to her pledge push success, she drives the Welcome Wagon often, providing a steady and passionate hand in sharing our goals to new members.
She is a Picken's Hero!
Best to you,
Kim

Hope you can push pledges - for Senators, Representatives and Governors, as well as all American Citizens! We need you - ARE YOU IN?
Hope you can help us with the pledge push challenge. We have over 90 foks on board. Looking for more. ARE YOU IN? Those 90 will bring 9,000 new members. Imagine if we could really ramp it up!?
Tamara, thanks for reading our comments on the PickensPLAN. Although you may not live in Kentucky, you can take the woman out of Kentucky, but you can't take Kentucky out of the woman...
Thank you for the kind words Tamara. I am just glad to be a part of a very worthwhile cause. I just wish there were more of us.. People just do not understand the impact of what we do in the near future is going to bring... I truly think our next members of congress will either be our savior, or lead the United States to its DOOM... Take care and please do all you can to help and spread the word... Craig Savage Sr...

Hello to all,
Let me start by thanking everyone who is part of the search for solutions to our collective independence from foreign oil and climate endangering use of gasoline and diesel vehicle fuel.
One of the largest obstacles locally to T. Boone’s plan is the lack of open to the public CNG fueling stations, and the fact that few if any are in the planning stages. To correct this and allow for Central Florida to become part of the solution to our collective problem, I am looking for assistance from legal and accounting professionals that would be part of a group to study the feasibility of establishing a not for profit corporation.
The not for profit corporation would be used to jump start the establishment of Central Florida CNG and Hydrogen fueling stations that would be open to the public. By establishing open to the public CNG and Hydrogen fueling stations the public would be encouraged to purchase or convert vehicles to CNG, and would allow companies like Honda to make available Hydrogen vehicles like the FCX Clarity. At present Honda is producing the FCX Clarity only in limited quantities and those vehicles will not be available anywhere in the southeastern U.S. because we have no open to the public Hydrogen fueling stations.
I am also looking for people with prior fund raising experience and volunteers that would be interested in pushing this agenda. Anyone who is interested in discussing this further is encouraged to contact me either by Pickens Plan email or forum post on the Local projects group forum “Starting a CNG fueling station”

Tamara,
Thank you very much for your kind words and you are 100% correct it is all about our kids, we want to leave this country for them a better place.....no a place that is dependant on nations that hate us.
I think we need to let every voice be heard. We have been told so many things that are purely rubbish that a good dialogue is needful. People have been shouted down. I think the plan makes sense but the problems are always in the details...so let the details be clearly stated and discussed. Dialogue is healthy. I need to hear from people who disagree also.
