This is interesting, and could be something you could do in addition to watching the debate tomorrow night.
The topic? What else? Energy independence.
T. Boone Pickens, 50-year oil and gas industry leader, will host what hopes to be the largest online rally of Americans concerned about their energy future during Tuesday night’s second Presidential Debate between U.S. Senators Barack Obama and John McCain.Carl Pope, Sierra Club Executive Director, will be Pickens’ co-host. Together they will discuss the candidates’ debate responses on the critical energy issues, take live questions, and give participants a chance to say what they can do to push their political leaders to action.
In two days, more than 40,000 Americans have RSVP’d to participate in the e-Rally on www.pickensplan.com. More than 1,000 questions have already been submitted in anticipation of Tuesday’s discussion.
Pickens will present the questions and comments of the e-Rally participants within 48 hours to both the McCain and Obama campaigns. “This online e-Rally is a way for everyday Americans to do something about this problem the escalating dependence on foreign oil and that threatens our national and economic security. I am glad to have Carl Pope, one of the first allies of the Pickens Plan, co-hosting this important session.”
So, will you be watching the debate tomorrow or taking part in the e-Rally? I know I’m tempted, but I’ll be doing another live stream, much like what I did for the first prez debate and the only veep debate.
