Content Description: Possibly narrated by Ashton B. Collins, Sr. Discusses the company's Grass Roots Impact Plan, which is meant to help utility companies with their local public relations. States companies need grass roots action with emotional ties (with the help of Reddy Kilowatt). Suggests trademarked cartoon characters can add popularity to products and can appear in newspapers, on bills, and on trucks, all as a logo for the utility company. This plan is meant to help keep government out of the local utility companies, and the narrator claims that government involvement in business is socialism.
