The Pickins’ Plan website linked at the bottom of this email is the closest I can come to your request but it’s an inactive link. As I said earlier, Pickens did not not write the legislation referenced in this 7/31/2009 email, the politicians did. He promoted the concept that was widely supported on a bi-partisan basis. Here’s the email I received:

Dear Army

It’s that time of year again and your Members of Congress will be home soon for the August recess. They’ll be attending summer BBQs, holding townhall meetings, and looking for opportunities to hear from YOU! There’s a lot going on and now is the time to keep the dangers of our dependence on foreign oil front and center.

We’re off to a good start in both the Senate and House of Representatives with the introduction of the NAT GAS Act of 2009 (H.R. 1835 and S. 1408)...but we have more work to do. I was in Washington, D.C. just yesterday meeting with several U.S. Senators from both sides of the political aisle talking to them about the NAT GAS Act and why every Member of Congress should support this important piece of legislation.

Like I say, a fool with a plan can beat a genius with no plan. But we’ve got a plan and it’s time to put it in place. I was doing my part yesterday and I need your help over the August recess.

During the Congressional break ask your Member of Congress and your two U.S. Senators to become co-sponsors of the NAT GAS Act and help get us off foreign oil.

If they’ve already signed on then thank them because they’re helping America get off foreign oil. If they haven’t, try to find out why. Either way, let your District Leader know what you’re hearing because we’re a team in this effort.

As you know, I’m for every energy source that’s American. But there’s only one domestic resource that can get us off foreign oil, and that’s natural gas. It’s cleaner, it’s cheaper, it’s abundant, it’s American and lastly, it’s the only domestic alternative fuel available today that can move an 18-wheeler and other heavy-duty trucks.

What’s also amazing about natural gas is that our country’s reserves are not just in traditional energy states such as Oklahoma, Texas, and Alaska, but rather they’re spread out from coast to coast. You’d be surprised to learn what sort of production comes out of Kansas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Alabama. Recent research shows that these deposits have more than 100 years worth of natural gas – right here in America. Also, the United States has more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil.

Yes, you read that right. There is MORE natural gas in the United States than Saudi Arabia has oil.

Army – I’m counting on you to help us push the NAT GAS Act over the finish line.
