Just want to know if we have any rights to not opt in for smart meters. Ii live in small town , milaca MN. I been told by the city. That I cannot opt out of smart water meter installation. NO CHOICE. Can they do that? This is beyond my patience at this point. This town filled with sheep, never question a thing. Believe all infor

There’s a story of a woman in TX who refused a smart meter…the guy who was wanting to install it actually shoved her multiple times , assaulting her. Do you understand this is all part of UN Agenda 21? Go to democratsagainstunagenda 21.com. Also YouTube Agenda 21 for dummies is a good clip. This is NOT a partisan issue…but the democrat website explains it well.

What can I do? I’m in Colleyville, Texas.

Why are these “mandatory?” It is my property. Did they obtain my permission to alter my property? Did they get building permits from the county? Of course they didn’t. They are just ramrodding these meters in regardless.

I’ve heard the argument that “PGE owns the meters, if you don’t like it, tough luck.” Sorry, it doesn’t work like that. They are a public utility (who btw just tried to make it illegal for communities to own their own power company. Wonder why. Hmm), and a monopoly. They are subject to any number of laws on the books, and we the people have a right to enforcement over them.

Hi John, I encourage you to look at the ‘what you can do to stop smart meters’ link on the home page. Write letters to the editor, talk to your neighbors, friends and family, call your state reps, your local council, send them a letter, whatever you can do. If it comes to it, wrap your meter in aluminum foil with the shiny side facing in. Find out more about EMF issues at the EMF Safety Network. Contribute money toward a legal challenge if you can. The CA Public Utilities Commission is currently facing two petitions demanding an immediate moratorium on installation. We’ll see what happens soon. Don’t underestimate the power of a small group of outraged citizens however. We managed to enforce our own ‘people’s smart meter moratorium’ the last couple of days in Santa Cruz County. Good luck.
