Contact your Congressman about alternative energy plans

Hi everyone,

Due to the massive influx of news about Alternative Energy, I have decided to take a stand and email my local Congressmen. Here's the message that I have sent:

Hi {Claire, Kit, Russ},

A friend of mine, Shannon Barbaglia, and I were discussing the other night the presidential race and both candidate's plans for their energy policy, including the push for alternative forms of energy. This conversation, as you can imagine, sparked quite a bit of fire and lots of ideas in both of us. We decided to put together a blog, "http://altenergypolitics.blogspot.com/" and have began posting various ideas of ways that the common person, those with higher contacts and lots of money, and those with major political influence can move forward with a plan to pull our country out of its current dilemma: dependence on foreign oil. Within our discussions and research, we have found someone who has one heck of a plan that I feel will work and I wanted to take a moment of your time to mention his name and contact information. The person that I'm referring to is T. Boone Pickens and the Pickens Plan. His website is "http://push.pickensplan.com/" and I feel that it would be well worth your time to take a look at his website, as I feel that it has a lot to offer. With your current contacts and influence within the Senate\House, I believe that once you hear his message and plans, I think that you will immediately decide to join his campaign and push his ideas all the way up the ladder and have them instated as policy.

I feel that with as many brilliant people that we have in our country, those highly skilled in the arts of science and technology, we should no longer be a slave to foreign needs. All the money that our country is giving away needs to be redirected inwards and invested in ourselves. I sometimes feel that the government has forgotten about the people it serves and that it needs to remember that without the people, it wouldn't exist. Our tax money needs to be spent wisely and with a little forethought. All of the free solar and wind energy needs to be harnessed, especially here in the Midwest, the heartland of America. Every farmer should have at least one wind turbine in their fields and all of the skyscraper-like buildings in the larger cities should have a roof lined with solar panels.

Look at what Germany has done with Solar power. If we did the same thing, the huge expense would quickly be recouped. If we harness all of the sun's power in our desert regions, there would be a huge surplus of energy to power our homes, businesses, and vehicles!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message and please consider the resources that I have send and pass the message for Alternative Energy to every one you can.

Best Regards,
