Subject: Stop Smart Meters International Day of Action this Thurs. Oct. 4th!
Dear Stop Smart Meters! Supporter,
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 service reliability and costing us dearly. The “smart grid” and its “mesh networks” are a madman’s greedy vision gone horribly wrong.
Remember- these are the same guys who brought us the Enron scandal.
“Smart” Meters are cheaply made but highly profitable plastic fire hazards, spying on, radiating, and gouging utility customers. Hundreds of smart meter fires and electrical hazards have destroyed people’s homes and livelihoods and risked their lives. It’s time to take action.
