Ok, here's whatcha need to do. Get an e-mail list. Have people sign up, give them a press kit and a walk through, have them register to contact their Senators and reps about EA2020, and then report back. Ok, I know that seems like a lot, since it is still in the process of actually being created, but when you reach the point, and I assume you have, where you feel you have a solid policy proposal, then I would start this process of distribution and feedback. After November, of course.
You may also want to look into setting up meetups or working with existing ones. It seems the time is ripe for some serious grassroots energy policy movements. Then these groups could hold formal meetings with their reps. This sounds like a pain, but it is the way things are done. Just mailing in or dropping off (after anthrax it's a bad idea anyway) something, it could easily end up in a black hole. If you want people to hear you you have to set up a meeting, usually with an aide.
So, you need to have a running tally of who has and who has not been contacted about EA2020, and then another running tally of those who are interested, supportive, etc, and those who aren't.
I would also get this out to Presidential candidates to improve the odds of it actually ending up in some public debate.
I imagine the Americans on this project already know all of this, and you may be able to cooridinate everything through Kos instaed of an e-mail list. Just throwing my .02 out there. Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
