I think it is about time John McCain stated out loud that we need the PickensPlan period!

A couple of days ago I listened to a McCain speech and heard much of the Pickens Plan mentioned……not by name but by content.

We as Americans have to urge all our politicians to work with Pickens on this and also conserve as much as we can. You can bet there are countries that hope we do not come up with an energy policy. It\’s hard to believe we do not have an energy policy. The Pickens plan is a wonderful way to start.

Hey Eric, I had the same problem as well… also being a member from day 1. FOR THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS, you can go to the town hall website, and they will give you the meetings with direct quotations. AS FOR THE FUTURE, I would say by SEPT. 15th their will be a live video feed. AND FOR ALL, PIERCE IS CORRECT. INSTEAD OF TAKING CHEAP SHOTS AND HIDDEN SWIPES: LET US BE MATURE AND UNITE TO AGREE ON THIS PLAN. ……The second we draw the line to separate us, is the very second we cut our chances of success in half and lose as a whole. Best regards to all and great work ..

Leave it to Andrew to do what all of us are trying not to do and inject partisan politics into this effort –so it fails. Andrew take your NY Times article and tear it up, it is missing half the details it would require to be valid.

Focus your energy on postive press and voter mobilization and not bashing the candidates. EVERYONE in washington has a dismall record on this or we would NOT be in this situation. And please don\’t insult the people here working hard on this plan by taking hidden swipes at a candidate. Follow Pickens leadership, not immature behavior and Washington politics of the past.

Its great that Mr.Pickens is going to all these places, doing these things, and seeing/meeting all these people. Keep up the great work! But as someone who has been a member of this movement from the start and as someone who checks in with the sight on a regular basis several times a day, I would like to see more of these meetings than just short, abbreviated transcripts - whether video or photos. Like they say, and as a photographer I should know - a picture is worth a 1000 words. I\’d also like to see more videos and photos from all these town meetings, meetings that most of us cannot attend but have great interest in.

I second Charlies response, And add to it that It would be a great benefit to us all I think, if there was a link or page on the website that posted the congressional and elected officials in our country that have responded to the energy plan. We are contacting our officials and asking them to support the plan, but there is no tracking of those who are in favor or not, and those of course who walk the fence , straddle the issue. Even in Mr Pickens statement after meeting McCain , all he could realy say was \” we have their attention\”. I for one would like to see some statements from the leaders, as in for it, against it, and if they are willing to help Mr Pickens in the future adventure, Mr Pickens deserves that, he has put up some major money , Im not seeing anything that indicates he is doing this on public funds !

Has anyone seen an official comment from McCain regarding this meeting? I want to get the candidates on record supporting the plan.

I find it interesting that I saw wind turbines featured on one of McCain\’s television commercials in our area (SC). Perhaps polls are indicating greater interest among voters for alternative energies and that energy will be the hot topic in this campaign.

Keep pushing, T. Boone! Your momentum along with skyrocketing oil prices are turning the eyes of public opinion toward the Pickens Plan. America must face and conquer this crisis instead of continuing to ignore it.

Thank you for meeting with Senator McCain. I think Thomas Friedman of the NY Times revealed what McCain\’s real actions are on alternative energy:
