Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

Although I may not have the extensive experience with alternative energy, I am experienced in both student and community organizations and hosting public campaigns. With the mandates set forth by the California Community College Board of Goverors (CCCBOG), 2-yr colleges will be obliged to reduce 40% of their energy use by 2012; therefore, 20% by 2010, AND create, and implement action plans to generate self-sustaining and efficient energy resources. As the original Student Chairman for the Misison 2B Clean & Green @ Palomar College Campaign, a foundation has been created to generate the support and implement action plans through student and community involvement to increase the recycling, minimize the waste, and ultimately provide the financial foundation needed to support L.E.E.D. certified buildings, hence, the Picken's Plan would then be in full effect.

What excites you about this campaign?

This campaign brings us of alike minds, interests, goals and concerns to one place: The place where change happens. Along with the Picken's Plan, Palomar College strives to lead eco-friendly methods, therefore, supporting this environmentally friendly reality of change...

What do you want to do to help?

Through my networks and organizations, as a district leader I would have the advantage of providing the committment of dedicated college students along with the supporting elements of our surrounding community towards any action plans set forth.

District 49 is my local area. As District Leader 49, I encourage ALL members of the community to join together with us in our efforts to support eachother in making our community an efficient and sustainable living environment for generations to come!

You probably got this list of District Leader header instructions by now...but if not, here they are:

1) Go to http://push.pickensplan.com

2) Sign in to your account

3) Copy and paste the following link into your browser:
http://push.pickensplan.com/profiles/appearance/edit

4) Scroll down until you see the words “Now, Make it Uniquely Yours” on the left.

5) Click “Advanced”, just beneath those words.

6) You will see a text area with a lot of code in it. (No need to think about this code!)

7) At the very top of that text area, just paste the following code without changing anything else in the window:

.xg_widget_profiles_profile_show .xg_3col #xg_layout_column_2 h1
{background:url(http://media.pickensplan.com/img/leader.jpg) top left no-repeat; padding-top:100px;}
8) Scroll down and click Save.

Great idea abouth a booth at Palomar. You should send the message to all members of CA-49 and post on the CA-49 site. I think you should connect with the other DLs in the region so they can let their folks know too.

At 11:37am on March 6, 2009, Jack Costantino said…: Armando
I sent a request to my RL's to send you the instructions for installing the DL header on your page. You should back that up with your own request to the appropriate RL.

Hey swing by and join us at the ROUND-UP when you have a moment.

Thanks,
Jack

Send me a plane ticket and I'll come out and set up the umbrella and table:). Seriously...good luck with the event. Assign some students to work the crowd getting pledge sigs. From your description, you could wind up with thousands.

If we don't already we really should have Pickens Chapters on College Campuses around the country. Can you imagine how many sigs we could have? Start one out there and I'll do the same out this way.

Thanks for your contribution...Jack Costantino

Good job! Ed CA-01

I just got your message about the Palomar College event. What a great idea! I will forward it to the other DLs in your area to help increase exposure.

Thanks!
Micah

He just might do it. He's a frequent visitor to San Diego and his wife owns the Del Mar Country Club. give it a shot!

At 1:49am on January 29, 2009, Michael Shawn Kendall said…: Hi Armando, I have been pushing for the sell of US Treasury "Energy Independence Savings Bonds". Savings bonds are normally purchased in $25 increments. This gives a way for just about any American to tighten their belts just a bit by skipping a meal at McDonalds or Pizza Hut and buying a RE savings bond to support a renewable energy project and save money at the same time for themselves. I need help pushing this project, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already.If you agree with this plan please consider passing to other people in your district as it will be a great tool to get funding for PickensPlan projects. This is a way to help and give tools to all of us for getting more RE projects started. I believe if just one fax could make it to the Presidents desk or Vice Presidents desk (fax numbers listed on web page of course) we may have a chance he may say “make it happen” to the US Secretary of Treasury. My email is ke6cvh@yahoo.com. Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi yesterday:
27FEB09

Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,

I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.

Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.

I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.

Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07.
