Thank you for the invaluable contributions from activist Deborah Tavaras and her husband Louis. They are land developers and property owners who first opened my eyes to the scary topic of Smart Meters. Thank you also to: scientist Rob States who posted the video “The Dark Side of Smart Meters;” author and editor of the August Review, Patrick Wood, who wrote an excellent article on the background of Smart Meters called “Implementing Technocracy;” San Francisco KSFO Radio talk show host, Brian Sussman, author of Climate Gate, which has an excellent chapter on Smart Meters and the Smart Gird.
Thank you to members of the EMF Safety Network, (
www.emfsafetynetwork.org) namely Sandi Maurer, Karen Hudson, Cindy Sage, Lucy Hale, Josh Hart, Brian Romanoff; and Katharina Sandizell- Smith of West Marin Citizens Against Smart Meters, and members of the Ecological Options Network (
www.eon3.net) namely Mary Beth Brangan and James Heddle.
Thank you to Sonoma County Eagle Forum board members who have helped spread the word with signs, banners, handouts, walking neighborhoods, participating in protests, etc, namely Carol Pascoe, Marge Sorbi, Jennifer Delaney, Yvonne Cornelius, Mary and Dick Wolbert; thank you to national Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly, who has helped spread the word about the dangers of smart meters on her national website and her radio programs,
eagleforum.org; thank you to Eagle Forum member Cindy Turpin of Tennessee, who has dropped thousands of pieces of literature against smart meters for her neighbors and residence of her community.
Thank you to medical doctors: Dr. Stan Monteith, talk show host of Radio Liberty, who has had Deborah Tavaras and others as a guest on his show helping to spread the word about the dangers of smart meters; Dr. Felicia Trujillo, a medical doctor in New Mexico, who has been fighting smart meters with other doctors and scientists; Dr. Mercola of
Mercola.com, for granting permission to include his excellent articles; the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco for their very informative “Wireless Summit,” a conference they hosted of international scientists, doctors, and authors who spoke about the dangers to health from all the wireless devices in our world today, including smart meters.
Thank you to attorney John Schlafly of Eagle Forum, and Attorney Larry Bragman, Mayor of Fairfax, one of the communities that has passed an ordinance against Smart Meters; thank you to other attorneys, scientists, and many concerned people, not just in California, but across the USA, and some from Canada and Europe.
Thank you to the Sonoma County Republican Central Committee, under the Chairmanship of Mathew Heath, for unanimously passing a resolution against the smart meters on October 20, 2010.
Thank you to California Assemblyman Jared Huffman, (D) 6th District, for bringing this issue before the California legislators and authoring AB 37, a bill to allow an opt-out of the SmartMeter program. However, the bill never was voted on, and some believe that it was never a serious bill and was just a ploy to make people relax and believe they can rely on government to solve the problem.
As you will notice from the variety of groups involved, this is a non-partisan battle. Both Democrats and Republicans, liberal and conservative organizations, are united to fight against this invasive and dangerous SmartMeter program.
