Vote for Pickens Plan on President Obama's Citizen's Briefing Notebook (CBN) located at www.change.gov

Good Day to all RL's & DL's

I would like to again encourage everyone to spread the word about President Obama's Citizen's Briefing Notebook (CBN) located at www.change.gov

We have the opportunity to take the Pickens Plan front and center of the CBN when President Obama is handed the 1st copy. However, we have our work cut out, here is the top 4 most popular ideas voted "UP" on:

1) 49,970 Ending Marijuana Prohibition
2) 46,970 Bullet Trains & Light Rail
3) 44, 580 An end to .... Introduction of Age Appropriate Sex Education
4) 43,520 Commit to Becoming "Greenest" Country in the World
(this idea does specify ending our foreign oil dependence by 2020)

Ok, so where is the ranking of a Pickens Plan idea, well.....best one I found has only 1670 point votes.

Here is the link to the popular list so we can at least move "Commit to becoming Green" from 4th rank to 1st rank:

Here is the link to begin a search for "Pickens Plan":

So here is a strategy we could ask the Army to follow:

1) Vote "UP" on "Commit to becoming greenest country in the world" to earn #1 ranking. [this is the 1st idea on the search for Pickens Plan]

2) Search on Pickens Plan and vote on idea titled: "Pickens Plan" dated: 1/14/09 @ 11:51 am [this is the 2nd one on the search list]

3) Vote "UP" on all the ideas listed on the Pickens Plan search

4) Commit on any "Pickens Plan" idea to show interest

5) Write new ideas on the Pickens Plan

Ok, this might take some time for Army members to do, however the results are well worth it.

We need to take our grassroots movement and funnel it so President Obama truly understand that the people of the U.S. want to end our dependence on foreign oil.

I realize many ideas and efforts are being done by our Army, but imagine when Boone DOES have the 1st meeting with President Obama and he looks at the 1st page of his CBN and says "I see your Army has been busy" and Boone replys: "The Army is strong, lets get this done!"

p.s. Surely our country can send a better #1 idea to our president than "Ending Marijuana Prohibition" (how embarrassing...)
