A Different "Perkins Plan"

By now you've likely heard of the Pickens Plan for beginning to gain energy independence. (It's linked at the bottom of the left column)

Going through some of my old papers I happened upon some documents from an old Mississippi Young Democrats convention in whichever year was the last year Robert Hooks was elected to serve a term.

His opponent for President of the the Mississippi Young Democrats was Sean B. Perkins from Jackson and Perkins came ready and organized.

He handed out copies of news articles that he appeared in and a blue handout titled "The Perkins Plan!" (yes it did have the explanation mark)

Here are the first three points of the plan:

1. Develope a two-year Strategic Plan that provides Goals, Objectives, Action Steps and Timelines so that we can have a clear-cut plan as to what we, as Young Democrats, want to accomplish.

2. Implement a Mentor/Protege relationship for all Young Democrats who are interested in running for public office in the future. Mentors will either be Elected Officials, Former Elected Officials or Active persons in the Democratic Party.

3. Adopt a Community Service Project for the State Chapter of Young Democrats and encourage all Young Democrat Chapters to get involved in their communities by volunteering to a worth cause. We are the Party of the People!

That's A Lot of Unnecessary Capitalization. ;)

I hope swift boater T. Boone Pickens has better luck with his energy plan than Perkins did at implementing his.
