I can't find the last blog you posted or my reply. Wanted to send a link to someone, the one about how the world will reconstruct or did they erase it?
James I really appreciated the Father's Day song by Paul Peterson. Thanks for posting it.

Morning James
Please stop by and CONGRATULATE and THANK our 2 newest 100CLUB members. These folks are building our members, and our influence, one new supporter at a time!
PAMELA BARNES and TOM SETTER are our 2 newest 100CLUB members. Pamela is an Arizona district leader, and Tom is in her district! What a team.
Why is everyone promoting government solutions to this problem? This is a complete waste of time and passion! There are other ways where you don't have to begin a process with a bunch of beurocrats telling you that you need their training first.
Grants.gov is a hoax site as far as I'm concerned. I've been involved with over a dozen people who have applied there and all come away with the same answer. "I just wasted 6 months and thousands of dollars and got zilch!" I'm in that boat too.
SBA??? They're worse. Don't believe me? Go to their survey to see if you're "ready to start a business" in their opionion. Answer every question yes - ALL of them. It still points you to an endless loop of schooling or training. Sorry, guys, but unless you're a big company with political contributions available or a professional research facility who makes their living from lifelong gov research projects, you're not getting a dime.
Does anyone have any ideas we can do amongst a group of a few hundred people WITHOUT the government or banks controlling it?
James
Thanks for joining the ROUND-UP.
Please share with your network and add a comment about the concept at the site. It's an idea in formation and everyone's input is sought and welcome.
We’re very happy to have you riding with us. With you and 1.4 million others on this ride, maybe we’ll actually get this thing done. Keep you horse watered and your powder dry, it's going to be a long dusty ride.

Grants.gov was established as a governmental resource named the E-Grants Initiative, part of the President's 2002 Fiscal Year Management Agenda to improve government services to the public.
The concept has its origins in the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999, also known as Public Law 106-107. Public Law 106-107 has since sunset and is now known as the Grants Policy Committee (GPC). For more information on the Grants Policy Committee, click here.
Today, Grants.gov is a central storehouse for information on over 1,000 grant programs and provides access to approximately $500 billion in annual awards.

Like Mike Kendall's Energy Bond concept it is a painless and common sense way for Americans to contribute to solving the complex problems of Energy Independence, National Security, Economic Growth and Environmental Protection.
As with Energy Bonds, this suggestion for providing incentives for K-12 education in conservation may be the best kind of investments we can make.
If you beleive the idea has merit please spread the word to you network.
I watched the video. Obama is going to pass a stimulus package, and is trying to get some support from the Republicans. The Republican plan of giving out tax cuts to revive the economy has not worked. Americans NEED JOBS! This is the point of the Pickens Plan as well, build the infrastructure for a renewable energy economy. Put Americans to work building our future energy independence from foreign oil.
Give a handout, see it spent, and it is gone. Give a job, see a regular income sustaining a family, continuing to flow into the economy.
President Obama recorded a video to speak directly to you about his economic recovery plan.
Invite your friends and family to watch the video and learn why our unprecedented challenges require immediate action.
You can even use our email contact importer to make it easy. Don't worry -- we don't hold on to any of the addresses you use.
After you watch the video, watch Gov. Tim Kaine answer questions from ordinary citizens about the plan and share your story about the economic crisis.
We're counting on you to collect the real stories of the challenges Americans are facing during this recession. We need to hear from you how the economic crisis is affecting your life and why the economic recovery plan is important to you and your community.
Once we receive your stories we will make them available to the public to show how critical it is to support the economic recovery plan.
Yesterday began with some devastating news with regard to our economic crisis. But I'm pleased to say it ended on a more positive note.
In the morning, we received yet another round of alarming employment figures – the worst in more than 30 years. Another 600,000 jobs were lost in January. We've now lost more than 3.6 million jobs since this recession began.
But by the evening, Democrats and Republicans came together in the Senate and responded appropriately to the urgency this moment demands.
In the midst of our greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, the American people were hoping that Congress would begin to confront the great challenges we face. That was, after all, what last November's election was all about.
Legislation of such magnitude deserves the scrutiny that it's received over the last month, and it will receive more in the days to come. But we can't afford to make perfect the enemy of the absolutely necessary. The scale and scope of this plan is right. And the time for action is now.
Because if we don't move swiftly to put this plan in motion, our economic crisis could become a national catastrophe. Millions of Americans will lose their jobs, their homes, and their health care. Millions more will have to put their dreams on hold.
Let's be clear: We can't expect relief from the tired old theories that, in eight short years, doubled the national debt, threw our economy into a tailspin, and led us into this mess in the first place. We can't rely on a losing formula that offers only tax cuts as the answer to all our problems while ignoring our fundamental economic challenges – the crushing cost of health care or the inadequate state of so many schools; our addiction to foreign oil or our crumbling roads, bridges, and levees.
The American people know that our challenges are great. They don't expect Democratic solutions or Republican solutions – they expect American solutions.
From the beginning, this recovery plan has had at its core a simple idea: Let's put Americans to work doing the work America needs done. It will save or create more than 3 million jobs over the next two years, all across the country – 16,000 in Maine, nearly 80,000 in Indiana – almost all of them in the private sector, and all of them jobs that help us recover today, and prosper tomorrow.
Jobs that upgrade classrooms and laboratories in 10,000 schools nationwide – at least 485 in Florida alone – and train an army of teachers in math and science.
Jobs that modernize our health care system, not only saving us billions of dollars, but countless lives.
Jobs that construct a smart electric grid, connect every corner of the country to the information superhighway, double our capacity to generate renewable energy, and grow the economy of tomorrow.
Jobs that rebuild our crumbling roads, bridges and levees and dams, so that the tragedies of New Orleans and Minneapolis never happen again.
It includes immediate tax relief for our struggling middle class in places like Ohio, where 4.5 million workers will receive a tax cut of up to $1,000. It protects health insurance and provides unemployment insurance for those who've lost their jobs. And it helps our states and communities avoid painful tax hikes or layoffs for our teachers, nurses, and first responders.
That's what is at stake with this plan: putting Americans back to work, creating transformative economic change, and making a down payment on the American Dream that serves our children and our children's children for generations to come.
Americans across this country are struggling, and they are watching to see if we're equal to the task before us. Let's show them that we are. And let's do whatever it takes to keep the promise of America alive in our time.
I posted a response to your Energy Star posting At the SEE group, but also wanted to thank you here personally.
Thanks for posting the Energy Star information. The Energy Star program is where I first got my in depth understanding of what we could do with energy efficiency in regards to our housing. In having two SEE homes that I built evaluated for their efficiency, I realized that the Energy Star Housing Program was a great start - - unfortunately the last administration did little to nothing to actively promote the Energy Star Housing program.
In applying for the tax credits, I found out how good the SEE homes that I build actually are - - "Five Star" rating (Tops) and how much energy they actually save (way beyond my expectations). Upon doing An ROI analysis, I realized that a "Five Star" Energy Star home, such as I can easily build, actually has a cost of ownership lower than an NBC (National Building Code) insulated home. In other words, when you look at the cost of a mortgage plus energy costs, a more expensive SEE home (+5 to 10%) will cost you less to own each month (mortgage + energy) than an identical NBC home. In discussing SEE with a friend who owns a four-plex apartment, I also realized how I could easily remodel his and any existing older home and bring it up to SEE standards.
Hmmm! Cost less to own! Save on U.S. energy use! Save our Environment! Create millions of jobs! Save our Economy! Something is missing here - - NO BODY ELSE SEEMS TO KNOW THIS, BUT ME ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! And I am not a Rocket Scientist, or so I once thought!
"LIGHT BULB" That is when I decided that the concept of SEE for new as well as existing homes needed to be PROMOTED - - TO EVERYONE ! My book on SEE is well underway, but our current economic situation calls for much quicker action. That is when I saw the Picken's Plan as a way to get the SEE information out there quickly. Imagine, if SEE could be presented by the Picken's Plan and sold to the Obama administration, HOW THE IDEA OF A MAJOR NEW U.S. INDUSTRY (REMODELING EXISTING HOMES TO SEE STANDARDS) THAT COULD SIMULTANEOUSLY SOLVE MANY OF THE PROBLEMS NOW FACING OUR COUNTRY WOULD INVIGORATE OUR IDLE HOUSING CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND LEAD US OUT OF OUR RECESSION. <------- A "No Brainer"? Maybe not for the last administration, but certainly for the present one!
We have sent over 30,000 messages to our Senators in just 2 days. THIS IS THE MOMENT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. Real action is on the table. Let them hear from us.
Boone's team has made it so easy - it takes just one minute to forward a simple message to your Senators. PLEASE do it today. Please get the folks in your home, family and office to do the same.
One of my Senators, Patty Murray, is pushing for more money for Highways, Mass Transit, and Water projects. Can we get some more support for Alternative Energy, please?
My Democratic Senators are backing the bill, my Republican Representative voted against it. I sent letters to all 3 asking for support, specifically for Alternative Energy and job creation. Also, job training for the unemployed to help them move into areas supporting Alternative Energy, building transmission lines, smart grid, and wind, solar, and hydro power generators.
For God's sake Everett, are you living in a ream world? Our current politicians have an agenda for spending taxpayer dollars, but it has little to do with our goals for the good of America. Billions of dollars for condoms in Africa? Gimme a break, is a pig's butt pork?
Now that we have seen what they are doing, our ONLY hope is to mass RECALL these felons: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dodds, etc. before they bankrupt our country, and burden our children, & grand-children with insurmountable national debt while achieving nothing.They are accomplishing no more than pork barrel spending, which will have no positive impact on our down economy.
Our representatives are not paying attention. We are going to have to make the people understand that we must take back control of our country. The Obamanation has begun. Let's spearhead a public recall of these felons ASAP. The longer we wait, the more damage they will be able to do.
I am concerned about the high percentage of our oil that comes from foreign countries. Even in December, as the economy was contracting, we imported nearly 70 percent of the oil we used and paid over $19 billion for it.
I am very interested in the aspects of The American Renewal and Reinvestment Act (H.R. 1) that include the promotion of alternative energy - wind and solar; the building out of a 21st century electrical transmission grid; and incenting trucking companies to upgrade from trucks running on foreign diesel to those running on domestic natural gas.
A Department of Energy study showed that developing our capacity to produce wind energy would not only replace 20 percent of the electricity we now produce using coal-burning plants, but would add 138,000 jobs in the first year and more than 3.4 million over a ten-year span.
Also, if we switch just 350,000 of the 6.5 million heavy trucks running on the nation's Interstate Highways to domestic natural gas from imported diesel, we could cut our oil imports by over five percent. In December alone that would have kept nearly $1 billion from being shipped off shore.
I hope you will join me in supporting these components of the Pickens Plan as H.R. 1 moves toward final passage in the Senate.
P.S. Savings bonds could be help in economic crisis.
While Washington tries to "fix" the banking and Wall Street mess created by subprime "gotcha" adjustable rate mortgages defaulting en masse, many of us are looking for a safer place to put at least some of our retirement, college funds, etc.
And we also want our country to become more energy-independent and our crumbling infrastructure repaired. But with things as they are, how can we accomplish these three objectives? A new form of U.S. Treasury savings bonds could be the answer.
Without U.S. saving bonds, we wouldn't have been able to supply our troops and allies like we did in World War II. If the U.S. Treasury issued energy independence and infrastructure savings bonds that paid an interest rate about 3 percent greater than the annualized FED rate adjusted for inflation, only be redeemable on their anniversary date(s), and what they pay is not taxed when they are redeemed at maturity, all three of these objectives can be achieved without any increase in taxes, especially if these funds were only employed as 1-to-2 matching funds.
Such bonds could increase employment enough to even reduce our taxes. Pass this idea on to your friends and then the politicians.
BRIEFING ROOM: The White House provides timely and accurate information about the President's latest events and public statements. Here you'll find photos, video, and blogs, as well as proclamations, executive orders, and press releases.
You and I have a common friend who speaks very highly of you and your organizational skills. He feels that you have the ability to help us create a better structure for our group at the PP. Thus, I am inviting you to become a member of the SEE (Super Energy Efficient) Housing group on the PP.
I hope you will consider joining us in our efforts to improve our economy, our energy usage, and our environment as well as peoples personal financial positions.
