Does anybody really care?...

so goes the song, so goes the Presidency.
He' s in we did it horay... so let him work now that's why we worked to get him elected right?
hope not. He can't do it alone and neither can congress.
why?

simple a car needs a driver, navigator too; that is YOU ! all of us.
the loudest squeeks will be heard, go silent and guess who's there?
The machinery is place in Washington - has been for centuries - for the rich and the big interest groups to get what they want passed. See the legally blond 2 or was it 3 - they were great -weren't they!

If we want to see change rather than keep forking it over at the pump, grocery store and everywhere we need to cut dependance on foreign oil and energy...

We need to ad it to our personal targets or goals and plans to do something daily or weekly or what ever. It takes FOCUS and the machinery in place in DC has that focus. They also have the experiece and no how to push their ajendas - just look at the padding on these bail out bills - man just send me about 5 million - no one will even miss it... I won't mind a 1/2 million bonus as a cap on my radio show giving it to me annually -would you?

If we want to see change we have to be the change. you in?

From the desk of T. Boone Pickens
Boone here.
I promised to tell you, every month, whether or not we are making progress on cutting down on imported oil.
In January, I reported to you that in December we had imported just under 380 million barrels of oil at a cost of $19.3 billion.
Today I am reporting on the January imports In January, according to the Department of Energy, we imported ­­­­­­­­­­­­­408.7 million barrels which cost the United States ­­about $17 billion, so the transfer of wealth from America to foreign governments is continuing.
That’s an increase of about 7 percent over December’s imports. But, here’s the thing: Congress is in the final stages of putting together a stimulus package to send to the President.
As a member of the New Energy Army I am counting on you to stand with me. I need you to visit www.PickensPlan.com/action today to contact your U.S. Senators about the stimulus package. Let’s make certain they understand how important the Pickens Plan is to America’s future.

"Are You Immune to Rejection?"

by Peter Ragnar


The most successful people I know are unaffected by the past and immune to rejection. They are probably the wealthiest people I know, as well. There are always some disenfranchised souls who will be ready to rain on your parade, if you let them; fearful little creatures whose only joy in life is tearing others down and ripping up their dreams. Oh, and don't let me forget their most audacious act of rebellion-blowing their car horns in a tunnel. All courageous and lucky souls must deal with the people in the dark who never venture beyond the fence of chance.


"Why don't you get a real job...?"


...The plant foreman used to say this to me. He'd go on to say, "I could probably put in a good word for you if you quit reading them stupid books. Why, you think you're gonna get rich, don't you?"

"I'm already rich," I replied as I walked away from the idiot.

Successful people are drawn to successful people who see unlimited possibilities. Successful people aren't looking for jobs, they are looking for opportunities that lead to fortunate encounters.

This is simple stuff for many of us... and highly complicated for the majority ...but if you would like to release your inner talents you may like to look over more...
