Letters to the editor are some of the most effective ways of communication today! Op-Eds and local LTE are terrific marketing tools that allow you to convey your thoughts and ideas to your friends, family and neighbors. They are fun, make an impact and, best of all, FREE!

Help Boone spread his message of ending our dependence on foreign oil.

Do you want to have a letter to the editor you write published in your local newspaper? If so, message me on Push or email me at Geoffrey@pickensplan.com and I can help you come up with a LTE of your own.

It's the little effort we make today that makes the big difference tomorrow!

Morning NE-02!

The August Recess is in full swing, and now is a perfect opportunity to approach your member of Congress and ask for their support for the Pickens Plan. Congressman Lee Terry is having a Town Hall meeting soon. If you have time to attend, it will be a great opportunity to ask him to Co-Sponsors HR 1835, “The Natural Gas Act of 2009.”

Who
Congressman Lee Terry

What
Town Hall Meeting

When
August 29, 2009

Where
Zidlocks
156th St and Bob Boozer

Congressman Terry has already signed the Pickens Pledge. (Remember to thank him for his leadership!) But now that we have a piece of legislation that we can hang our hat on, we need his support! Ask him to join 77 of his colleagues, both Republicans and Democrats, in Co-Sponsoring HR 1835.

Steven,

As a group, there are a LOT of things we can do to be a positive force to convicne Congress, for the first time, to enact a real energy plan for America. If anyone would like to submit a Letter to the Editor of their local, state or national newspaper and would like some help coming up with content, shoot me an email to Geoffrey@pickensplan.com and I will help you put something together!

I hope we as a group will be a positive force to overcome corporate and government obstacles in order to create a new American independent energy policy. I want America out of OPEC and OPEC out of America.

VIRTUAL MARCH DAY 2 - Boone Needs YOU

The Department of Energy has released the oil import figures for the month of March 2009. The data shows we imported 386 barrels at a cost of $18 billion. While we are importing less oil because of the recession, the percentage of oil we are importing is remaining disappointingly stable. The March numbers show we imported 65% percent of the oil we used.

Over the past 12 months, America has had to import nearly two-thirds of the oil we need. In 2008 that amounted to $475 billion dollars. Keep in mind, this is not a one-time payment like a stimulus package or a bail-out bill. This is an annual cost of over $400 billion per year.

CLICK HERE TO EMAIL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TODAY AND ASK THEM TO TAKE ACTION TO REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCY ON FOREIGN OIL.

As you know, today is the start of the Pickens Plan Virtual March on Washington. I included some messages below that you should feel free to use when trying to get friends and family to participate.

This is going to be my Facebook status over the next three days:

“Boone Pickens, Rock the Vote and I urged policy makers to pass energy legislation. You can too: http://tinyurl.com/c6b53s”

This is what I emailed my friends, family and neighbors – and then sent to all of my Facebook friends:

“Join me, Boone Pickens and Rock the Vote in telling Congress and the President: Help improve our environment, economy & bring us toward energy independence by passing energy legislation now! Be heard today! http://tinyurl.com/c6b53s”

April 1-3 is going to be an exciting time for the Pickens Plan and everyone involved! We have over 4.5 million people participating in this March with us. The more folks who contact Congress, the more impact we have on the debate.

For the first time in our nation’s history, we have millions of people converging on Washington, speaking with a unified voice, and demanding a viable, sustainable energy policy that ends our dependence on foreign oil.

It’s Go Time! Contact your member of Congress today!

Boone is counting on you. Visit http://www.pickensplan.com/virtualmarch/ today and let your voice be heard!

Eric,

Thanks for putting this up for everyone! I appreciate your taking the time to contact Senators Nelson & Johanns.

Geoff

Comment by Eric Holstein on February 25, 2009 at 3:41pm

It looks like Representative Lee Terry as signed the pledge, however, Senators Nelson and Johanns have not. I'm encouraging everyone to e-mail or call our senators. Mr. Nelson: http://bennelson.senate.gov/contact/ and Mr. Johanns: http://johanns.senate.gov/public/?p=EmailSenatorJohanns

Here's a message you can plagiarizer:

Dear Senator Johanns,

Now that the Stimulus package is signed, I would encourage you to join fellow congress men and women in signing the T. Boone Pickens Energy Independence Pledge: http://www.pickensplan.com/thepledge/

It's time that we put our wealth into creating American jobs, increasing our security and protecting the environment. This pledge shows your support for reducing some of our dependence on foreign oil.

Thank you,
Jane Doe

Evening,

I just wanted to remind everyone about Boone’s call to arms. He has asked each member of the army to call our member of Congress and ask them to support the alternative energy components of the stimulus plan.

Here are some helpful talking points:

Urge them to tell House Leadership that their constituents support the wind energy elements included in the Stimulus Bill which will build upon 2008's successes in the wind energy sector:

o Extension of the Production Tax Credit

o Implementation of a renewable infrastructure loan program

• We hope they're willing to doing more on the natural gas side and provide the incentives that will greatly expand the use of domestic natural gas as a vehicle fuel in America. Expanded use of Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) will help wean us off of foreign oil and create new American jobs. These incentives include:

o Increasing the vehicle tax credit to make natural gas trucks more accessible for heavy and medium duty truck operators

o Extending the fuel tax credit

• The Pickens Plan works best as a whole plan—wind and natural gas—and we hope Members of Congress will support that. The Stimulus Bill is a strong start but there's more we can—and should—do.

When you've made your call, please post a response to this discussion so I can keep track of how many calls have been made for each district!

Boone is counting on us. You can find the numbers to your elected officials below. Making a call is really quick, easy and satisfying. Make your calls today so I can report your hard work to Boone!

Congressman Terry Lee (202) 225-4155

Senator Mike Johanns (202) 224-4224

Jeff and Lars... I'm back. Been on haitus for a few months. I'm glad to read the news about OPPD comitting to more renewables (wind).
