Good Afternoon!

We are smack dab right in the middle of August Recess. Members of Congress (MOC) are back in their districts, holding events and Town Hall meetings. This is our time to shine army! While the majority of the current Town Hall meetings are focusing on Health Care, other issues are covered as well. I would encourage you to attend your MOC Town Hall and ask them a few quick questions:

1. What is your plan to end our dependence on foreign oil?
2. If you don’t have a plan, do you support the Pickens Plan?
3. If so, would you sign the Pickens Pledge?
4. Are you a Co-Sponsor of HR 1835, “The Natural Gas Act of 2009?” It’s a vital piece of legislation that, for the first time, gives the right incentives for natural gas to become a viable transportation fuel alternative to foreign oil. It currently has 77 bipartisan Co-Sponsors in the House – split almost evenly between Republicans and Democrats.

To find out where your MOC is having their next Town Hall meeting, visit their website and email/call their office for more information. You can do that here: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml or by calling the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Also, don’t forget about your Senators! S 1408 is the sister bill of HR 1835 and we need to make sure all 100 members of the United States Senate have signed up as Co-Sponsors! You can check out where your Senators are having Town Halls in your area by emailing/calling their offices for dates and locations. You can do that here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm or by calling the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Together, we can end our dependence on foreign oil. But it is going to take all of us working together. The effort we put in today will give us the secure energy future we want for tomorrow!

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!

I hope all of you were able to catch Glenn Beck on Fox this afternoon. Boone was a guest and he outlined his plans for the future. For those who follow the web pages, Boone has decided not to build the world's largest wind farm but instead build many smaller farms across the mid west. I personally believe that to be the better answer. As those prove themselves they can be expanded on site.

Let's all celebrate the one year anniversary of the start of this movement.

Regards,
Jim

The Case For Natural Gas Vehicles @ UVM was great. There was a very strong compelling case made for NGV technologies and filling stations in Vermont. The Pickens Plan was there, and is in line with this U.S. conversion to use CNG, Wind and Solar to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. H.R. 1835. Join us Burlington Vermont, and Beyond.

Hot off the press.

T. Boone Pickens

My good pal T. Boone Pickens is not your average retiree. After four decades growing Mesa Petroleum into an energy giant, he has redefined himself to become a seemingly unlikely environmental crusader.

One of Boone's favorite so-called Booneisms is one he learned from his dad: "A fool with a plan can outsmart a genius with no plan." Last July, at 80, and with his dad's words in mind, Boone unveiled his blueprint to reduce our country's astonishing dependence on foreign oil and end what he calls the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. The Pickens Plan details steps we should take to utilize our abundant natural gas, wind and solar power here in the U.S. Always thinking big, and acting bigger, Boone proposes building a $12 billion wind farm in the Texas Panhandle — the most ambitious design to harness renewable wind energy to date. Tireless and fiercely competitive, Boone isn't going to let the other guy reach the finish line first. He's put millions of dollars of his personal fortune into an unprecedented campaign to market his plan.

Boone and I have a lot in common. We've both made a lot of money, and we've also given a lot of it away. For all his accomplishments, I respect Boone most for his vision, generosity and can-do attitude. He recognizes that investing in renewable energy isn't just the right thing to do for the environment; it's the smartest and most prudent financial investment we can make in these times. It's a win-win opportunity, and when we're talking about our kids' and grandkids' future, I'm listening to the man with the plan.

Turner is a philanthropist and investor

Fast Fact: Pickens plans to build a huge wind farm in a state known for oil.
