<br />
These causes are:<br />
<br />
- Education – programs that support the quality of public education, from kindergarten through higher education and beyond. <br />
- Environment – actions that promote initiatives like tree plantings, recycling programs, cleaner air and water or that protect and preserve our eco-system. <br />
- Events – activities that strengthen the community and closely align with Ampegy&apos;s core values. <br />

      <title>Ampegy Gives Back to Local Food Banks</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">For every Twitter “Follower,” Ampegy will donate 1 can of food</p><p>Houston, TX -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/07/2011 --  During the month of November, Ampegy will be donating one can of food for every Twitter "Follower" it acquires.  <br />
<br />
The food insecurity rate in America is on the rise, and it&apos;s especially difficult for families around the holidays. Ampegy wanted a way to bring the message of relieving hunger in America to as many people as possible, so it got a little creative.<br />
<br />
"We wanted a huge microphone to shout the message of taking action on hunger in America and we thought what better than the megaphone that is Twitter, says Cheri Davies, Director of Marketing at Ampegy. "We already had an audience on Twitter so it made sense for us to use that as a channel for running our virtual food drive and being able to make a large donation of canned food to the local food banks we chose." <br />
<br />
From November 1 until November 20, Ampegy will donate one can of food for every "Follow" it gets on its @Ampegy Twitter account. One can of food per person will also be donated for all the Twitter Followers Ampegy already has.<br />
<br />
"We hope running this food drive on Twitter will bring awareness to the importance of giving back and helping others whenever and wherever possible," Davies says. "At Ampegy, community is important to us, and we do everything we can to support the communities we serve." <br />
<br />
Ampegy recently launched The Ampegy Community™, a program that gives back to the community by allowing citizens to apply for support grants for various causes, including education, events and eco-friendly initiatives. <br />

      <title>Ampegy Leverages the Power of Energy Deregulation Throughout Seven States</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Ampegy Leverages the Power of Energy Deregulation </p><p>Houston, TX -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/20/2011 --   Spark Energy Launches a Brand New Network Marketing Company: Ampegy<br />
<br />
Today Ampegy announces its launch as a network marketing company to sell deregulated energy products across seven states throughout the U.S; California, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Texas.<br />
<br />
Ampegy is focused on selling electricity and natural gas products provided by Spark Energy to residential customers. Spark Energy is a leading deregulated retail energy provider currently providing energy products to residential and commercial customers in 16 states.<br />
<br />
Ampegy&apos;s Independent Representatives have the potential to earn multiple revenue streams by maximizing opportunities within the deregulated energy industry. The two-pronged approach enrolls customers with Spark Energy and simultaneously builds an organization of other Independent Representatives who do the same. The result enables Ampegy Representatives to earn bonuses and residual commissions, all of which are based on the enrollment of energy customers.<br />
<br />
"Ampegy successfully applies the network marketing concept to the deregulated energy market," said Waters Davis, Executive Vice President of Spark Energy and President of Ampegy. "Ampegy provides its Independent Representatives with a variety of powerful training and support tools – both online and offline, so that its Independent Representatives are positioned for immediate success and earning potential."<br />
<br />
The Ampegy compensation plan is simple to understand and revolves around three basic goals: enrolling customers, sponsoring other Independent Representatives, and providing support to those Representatives as they enroll their customers. By successfully achieving this simple three-step plan, Independent Representatives can earn immediate income and work towards creating long-term residual income as they develop a team with the potential to generate high levels of new business.<br />
<br />
"There is no better way to penetrate a newly deregulated utility market than by harnessing a network marketing business model," said Steve Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, Ampegy. "I&apos;ve seen it work for the telecommunications industry and I am looking forward to witnessing growth in the energy market as well."<br />
