Good for you!!

We just got a card in the mail yesterday from power company saying "YOUR METER UPGRADE IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEK" -- It is one of those smart meters!!!!!!

I called up,WAS RIPPIN' MAD and opted out.........

The lady said to me "So your not interested in the program?" and I said NO I AM NOT!! -- You can still get reg power w/a reg meter right? and she said "Yea but this just makes it easier to save,etc...." which is BS!

WE ARE ALREADY BOMBARED WITH TONS OF RF SIGNALS!!!! -- I bet everyone around us will get this garbage anyway!! (Which we still may be affected by)

My parents are away until June and they are basically sheeple and believe whatever they are told so I am glad this was scheduled NOW so I could opt out of it!!!!!

YOU ALL KNOW HOW THESE THINGS TRANSMIT?? -- Using the electric system in your house.... Everyone inside gets bombarded with high levels of radiation 24/7!!

IT ISNT AT ALL ABOUT SAVING $$$$$,ITS ABOUT CONTROL........ Affecting our DNA,etc.........

These things have to be paid for,and anyone who thinks they are being given away free or that the money for them will not be recouped somehow - is a fool!!

THESE METERS ARE A HEALTH RISK AND A PRIVACY ISSUE!!!!!!!


Anyone that believes the power company WANTS TO HELP YOU SAVE $$$$$$$$$$ is beyond hopeless!!

I guess this means that you don't have a cell phone either or any other devices that transmit...

I went outside around where i live to try and raise awareness and the idiot right next to me is hopeless!!!

"Everything is dangerous now...... Everything gives off radiation,etc" -- He doesnt care that he not only will put HIS FAMILY @ risk but everyone elses around his house also!! (24/7 from these things)


He doesnt care.... Maybe he will when they start turning his electric off for too much usage... Bloody moron..........

Then I went across the street and that guy OPTED OUT ALSO!!!!!! -- I shook his hand and we talked about it a little.......

Y'all can make fun of me for opting out. I had that right to do so and I used it.


Did you prefer that they say I have no choice but to take whatever the ONLY local utility company available to me is offering me?

I have no issue with someone opting out - I would, as well. It's just that when the "reasoning" goes along the tinfoil and "radiation" lines that I get a tad leery.

Me, I just don't want someone able to control my life in any fashion.
