WE HAVE A CHOICE!

Click Here! “There’s a BIG SECRET that the power companies don’t want any of us to know: It’s NOT 1950! That’s right, unlike previous generations who couldn’t break free from the power companies and generate their own electricity…” NO, It’s NOT Science Fiction and you don’t need to invest $1,000’s or have a degree in engineering to generate your own electricity! And NO, we are NOT talking about generating a tiny amount of power that won’t even make a dent in your electric bill… Dramatically Reduce or Even Eliminate Your Electric Bill! Get Started In Just One Weekend! Save Up to $1,000 Or More Per Year! No Experience or Special Training Required! Watch this video to see how a man managed to set up magnet power in his home and what you could make, following Magnet4Power Solution: Click Here! Hello: Let’s face it: Times are hard. The economy is in bad shape and we all need to find ways to save money. Unfortunately, you can only cut back so much before all that’s left are “necessities” like the electric bill each month, which can run $100 or more, each and every month! And the worst part… The average electric bill has more than doubled for the average household in the past 10 years, far outpacing inflation and eating into your disposable income! Unlike past generations who had to choose between paying the electric company or not having any lights, WE HAVE A CHOICE! That’s right, we do have a choice and the power companies hate this fact and they will try and do everything in their power to discredit this proven and inexpensive technology! Why would anyone possibly want to discourage people from being responsible stewards of the planet and actually generating their own safe, dependable energy?? Actually, if you produce more electricity than you use, the electric company is obligated by law to buy it from you at current market price! So imagine it instead of mailing a check to the electric company each month they could be sending YOU a check each month! And no you DO NOT need to invest $1,000’s in costly solar panels or windmills to transform your home into an energy producing “green home”! Seriously, the power company wants (and has always had) lifetime customers who send in their checks each month. The power companies have known the only way for someone to “break free” from those monthly payments was to invest $1,000’s in solar panels or personalized windmills, UNTIL NOW!

Guest post by Robin Beck, Blog Action Day
This is Robin Beck here from Blog Action Day central, and I want to thank Rick and the Blogger team for helping support Blog Action Day 2009. For those of you who don’t know, Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15th where bloggers across the world unite to write about a single issue on a single day. We like to think of it as one big blogfest for good, and our goal is to spark conversation on an issue of importance across the web. This year’s topic is climate change, and we’ve thus far had more than 4,000 bloggers from 123 countries register, including many of the world’s largest blogs. Our aim is to make Blog Action Day 2009 the largest social change event on the web as a demonstration of global concern about the climate crisis. To achieve this, we want to invite the entire Blogger community to get involved and commit to writing a single post about climate change on your blog on October 15th. You can register your blog here. In addition to joining thousands of other bloggers, you’ll also be supporting the work of the dozens of leading nonprofits who are also participating – including Oxfam, 350.org, The Nature Conservancy, Greenpeace, The United Nations Foundation, and more than forty organizations affiliated with the TckTckTck campaign. You can learn more about the issue of climate change and see sample topics you might write about at www.blogactionday.org. There you can also find additional ways to get involved by taking action with leading nonprofits and posting a snazzy widget to your blog. Thanks so much for your support – we hope to have you all as part of the event!
