Hi Brennan
The clock is ticking. Both Thomas Freidman and The Gang of 20 have told us (see DAILY PICKENS) the only way to change America's energy policy is to build this historical, grass roots effort to un-ignorable heights. There are less than 75 days until Inauguration Day. We must concentrate on the job at hand. CAN YOU GET 10 signed pledges faxed in asap? Many hands make light work.
"That's the question of the day at Fox News, and you can weigh in by sending them an email telling them you want to see the next president adopt the Pickens Plan!
Please go to: America's Talking at http://www.foxnews.com/livedesk/index.html
Regradless of who we voted for - our country has decided and we must do everything in our power to insure the Obama's Presdency is a successful one. STARTING WITH ENERGY. We must continue to educate Americans one at a time how urgent renewable and alternative energies are to our future. WE ONLY ACHIEVE CHANGE WITH HARD WORK AND DEDICATION to creating a complete paradigm shift of thought in this country.
Thomas Friedman said some critical things about changing thought and getting action:
What do you think about Boone's New Energy Army marching on Washington when President-elect Obama and the new Congress are sworn in?
I think he’s on the right track.
Why do you say that?
How did we get civil rights changes in this country? It happened basically when people took to the streets and politicians saw them, understood there was an aggrieved community there that wanted action, and the politicians decided that the cost of inaction on their part was greater than the cost of action. The same thing has to happen on energy. There is only going to be real legislative change and support of renewable energy when enough politicians decide that the cost of inaction is greater than the cost of action. And bringing lots of people, and I don’t mean five, ten, twenty, but hundreds of thousands of people to bear on Capitol Hill to drive that point home is really essential.
How closely do you think the major oil-exporting countries are watching us to see whether or not America develops a sustainable energy policy?
I think they’re watching, but I think so far they’re not afraid because they’ve seen this play before. They know when global oil prices go down, it tends to kill the renewable energy industry. Happened in the ‘70s and ‘80s. And so I don’t think they’re exactly quaking in their boots yet. But I think they’re watching very closely, especially when they see the politics shift and they see people like Boone or Wal-Mart, people from the corporate sector or even from the traditional energy business such as General Electric adopting new positions- that gets their attention. They haven’t seen yet any really scale alternative to oil. Until they do, I don’t think they’ll be all that worried.
I have said all along the only way to get this done is to make it political suicide for them not to get it done! The only way we affect results on this is to be strong, be loud, be united and be consistent, in all of it. PLEASE continue to share the Pickens Plan with everyone you know. Bring them to the site. Get them to sign your pledge/petition. NOW is not the time to let down our effort, it is the time to turn up the pressure - We now know where it needs to be directed. We will eat the apple one bite at a time. Please keep it in your conversations and continue to help us build to millions of supporters. WE CAN DO THIS.
MY BEST,
Kim

Hi Brennan
Can you be a part of the Pledge Push this week?
With a little bit of effort from all of us, we can make the numbers really grow!
PLEASE DONWLOAD A FEW PLEDGES and get them signed.
We all want to get off of foreign oil. We all want the leadership to hear us and do this.As has been demonstrated this week, they will only act when forced to by circumstances and a cry from the public. WE NEED TO MAKE OUR CRY INTOLERABLE. The only way to get this done in our very small window of opportunity is to BUILD THIS ARMY.
PLEASE, tap into that passion you had the very first time you saw this plan. Rmember the WOW! moment you had, when you thought.... THIS COULD REALLY HAPPEN. and let's JUST DO IT! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS DONE.
DO WE HAVE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT IN US?? This is not taking up arms, but it is OUR REVOLUTION. We must fight for this. The good news is it is very easy if you just try.
We have over 84 people in the 100CLUB challenge. Feel free to add your name to that list as well. Imagine, if we all did, we would add 144,000 new members. NOW THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. I have sent in 300 signed pledges, It was not difficult, you just need to keep them with you, and remember to talk about it.

Hi Brennan!
Would you be willing to get a few signed pledges this week? 400,000 is NOT 1 million!
Need your help.
am helping Ken get the word out to the folks on his list.

How did you get your banner on the top of your page?
I joined the Pickens Plan about a week ago and have spent some time today looking over the features of our website. I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m very excited about our community because I’m also a member of one.org (U2 – Bono – World Hunger) and have personally seen the results of people banning together and influencing our government. The Internet has made it possible. Please keep in touch. All the best, Luis Garcia…
Love the come back, spoken like a true politician! Well, thank you for the friend invite, and I hope I can make a lot more friends and help the environment.....and obtain World Peace.....and get my neighbors cat to stop laying on top of my car! ;o)
Brennan,
Glad to hear from a fellow Sarasota county resident! If you hear anything going on in our area regarding this concern, please keep me in the loop.
Thanks,
Angela
What more do you want to know? It was a DIY project. I was a recently returned veteran (early 1970s) and didn't have much $. I made it out of materials that were easy to get. The other idea for pools was fun too. We snaked hose all over under the concrete patio. The patio stayed cool and the pool was warm.
It's a beginning. We can start putting one foot in front of the other. I will be attending the Southeast Builders Conference next week. I will be taking some classes. I really want to get involved in sustainable energy.
Then watch us grow and implement a plan to install grid tied solar pv systems on all rooftops, and most importantly, bring an entire City back to life as Carbon Free as possible.
Mainly I e-mail my congressmen and present my views. I do get replies. I do wish congress was more motivated and would speed up their processes to accomodate the present 21st century in which we live. It seems all they know how to do is destroy the progress of our forefathers.
