Torrey Shearer

Official Pickens Plan Representative

Hello! I have joined with T. Boone Pickens in helping to generate support for the Pickens Plan. I have responsibility for helping to organize the New Energy Army in the great states of New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. My job is to provide members of the Army with resources, ideas and support in the pursuit of American Energy Independence. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions, comments or suggestions! Thank you so much for supporting the Pickens Plan and I look forward to working with you in the coming months to make America independent of foreign oil.

Best regards,

Torrey

Regional Leader,
New Energy Army

We have created a new page… Continue

That brings the number of sitting Governors who have signed the Pledge to 13. To prove one of Boone's points there are seven Republicans and six Democrats. Can’t get any closer to a tie than that when you have an odd number!
