I never thought my country would come to this.

Smart Meters are...

promoted as benefiting mankind

but are actually instruments of torture

said to be a helpful technology 

but are actually weapons 

that are used everyday on us

supposed to help with global warming

but are actually harming and 

ending the lives of humans

provided by our tax dollars

but steal all quality of life

said to benefit the planet

but really harm all life 

supposed to be safe

but are actually an experiment on us all, 

with a dangerous technology

that they knew scientists warned about, 

researchers showed to be unsafe, and others 

complained about, all over the world

they did it anyway

costing our government 3.5 billions dollars of wasted money that will bring only illness and need replacement

mandatory - even if we are sick from them or at risk - if we are elderly, pregnant, a child, a diabetic, have a pacemaker, are environmentally ill, we must have one. We don't matter anymore.

the worst expression of the fall of our country's integrity, the end of compassion, the evidence of the stupidity and lack of concern of those who make decisions at the highest governmental levels.

the evidence that our country is no better than the ones we have criticized in the past ... how are we different than Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Joseph Mengela...? When we cause deliberate, immediate harm to our most vulnerable citizens, how is this different? When we place everyone, all living beings at grave risk, and harm millions now, what does that show?

How did we come to this point where we no longer care and would harm "the least of these", making them die a slow, torturous death.

When did we think it was ok to destroy all quality of life in this nation - is it only greed and stupidity that drives us now?

We were promised help, and instead, we received death in a new little package on the walls of our home.

I never thought my country would come to this. It has.

I never thought that I could be tortured in my own home by the utility company with the government helping. I am.

CPUC:

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THINK. STOP THE DEPLOYMENTS. THE EVIDENCE IS THAT YOU ARE HARMING PEOPLE. I AM ONE OF THEM. I CANNOT STAND LIVING WITH ONE OF THESE SMART METERS ON MY HOME, IT IS TOO PAINFUL, YET YOU TELL ME I MUST HAVE IT? THAT IT WILL BE TURNED UP WITH 8 TIMES HIGHER EMISSIONS SOON - THAT THE RADIATION MUST COME INTO MY HOME, IT IS DESIGNED FOR THAT? THAT MY DOCTOR IS WRONG? THAT I CANNOT BE SICK? THAT YOU HAVE NOT MADE THE BIGGEST ERROR IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION? THINK. STOP KILLING US. WE WANT OUR HUMAN RIGHTS BACK. I WANT THE SMART METER OFF MY WALL, WITH CPUC ORDERS TO DO SO, THIS WEEK. THINK. ACT.
