Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm a little confused because you say you'd like to share your successful experience but then you say there is nothing you can do in at this point to stop installation of the meters. Well how is that successful at all?  Did you know that 31 California towns/cities & 4 counties have declared a moratorium on installation of smart meters?  Some progress.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Loni, I'm sorry, I should have made that info more clear. The first sentence is from me. The paragraph that follows is an exerpt taken from a letter, that contained what looked like potentially useful information for all of us. **That would be the part about the section 704 of the telecommunications act. I don't live in the San Diego area, and for the record, I don't believe that there's no way to stop this madness. What I do believe, is that we need to find the " smoking gun " ...the piece of the puzzle that gives us what we need to successfully win this battle. I keep thinking its somewhere, in the small print. I " m sorry for the confusion. Lizzie From: loni326@...
