> People are fed up. Fed up with being forced to have an unwanted,
> intrusive device attached to their home. Fed up with utility company
> threats, coercion, and lies. Fed up with having their essential services
> disconnected or being charged a hefty fee if they don’t want to subject
> their families to fire risk, higher bills, privacy invasion, and health
> damage.

> “Smart” meters are not “progress” “cost saving” or “green.”  They are
> ruining lives, reducing reliability and costing us dearly.  The "smart
> grid" and its "mesh networks" are a madman’s greedy vision gone horribly
> wrong.

> "Smart" Meters are cheaply made but highly profitable plastic fire

> smart meter fires and electrical hazards have destroyed people's homes
> and livelihoods and risked their lives.  It's time to take action.
