A message from T. Boone Pickens

A message from T. Boone Pickens

Years ago my dad told me that we always need to get behind the new President, regardless of who we vote for. He told me that after Election Day, we all go back to being Americans first and party loyalists second.

His advice to me then is just as important today as it was then - maybe even more so.

President-elect Obama will need our help to end our addiction to foreign oil. The answer to this problem is not about one idea or one individual - it’s about all of us coming together to solve this problem.

I'm sending President-elect Obama a hand-written note congratulating him on his victory and would like to ask you to do the same - an email, post-card or letter – regardless of whether or not you voted for him. Let him know we're here to help him make a difference and that his support of the Pickens Plan is our country’s way to create hundreds of thousands of new energy jobs and kick-start this ailing economy.

Paintbrush Trail is smack-dab in the middle of wind country! And, we love it! Nothing feels better than a natural breeze on a warm day. The Coachella Valley is the home of many windmills generating power.

IT'S TIME TO STOP AMERICA'S
ADDICTION TO FOREIGN OIL

America is in a hole and it's getting deeper every day. We import 70% of our oil at a cost of $700 billion a year - four times the annual cost of the Iraq war. I've been an oil man all my life, but this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of. But if we create a new renewable energy network, we can break our addiction to foreign oil. On January 20, 2009, a new President gets sworn in. If we're organized, we can convince Congress to make major changes towards cleaner, cheaper and domestic energy resources. To get this done, I need your help. Check out the plan. If you think it's worth fighting for, please join our effort.
