Submit "smart" meter complaints at SmartMeterHelp.Com

by Joshua Hart
Today, the EMF Safety Network and Stop Smart Meters! are excited to announce the official launch of our new joint project: SmartMeterHelp.Com . This is a website designed with the sole purpose of burying our elected officials, utilities commissions, and health departments with complaints about the debacle that has resulted from the poorly planned, undemocratic, and ill-advised rollout of ‘smart’ meters into our communities.

Even if you have already submitted a complaint, please take 5 minutes now to fill out the form and tell your story. This will make it that much easier for advocates working to put a stop to this program to demonstrate that these meters are having a detrimental effect on thousands- if not millions of people.

Were you forced to have a Smart Meter when you didn’t want one? Have you been overcharged? Were you on the “delay” list and they installed anyway? Have Smart Meters caused you headaches, sleep problems, tinnitus or other health problems? Have you had interference problems or burned out appliances, since a new meter was installed? A meter catch on fire? Have the utilities lied to you, or made false claims about their service? Did you feel threatened or intimated by installers? Did they assault you or your pets? Do you think it’s wrong to have to pay to not have one? We’ve heard complaints about all of the above happening to members of the public.

We are fed up, and we’re not going to take it anymore! Spread the word about this new website to your friends, family, and co-workers. Post on social media and encourage others to take action.

Together, we can put a stop to ‘smart’ meter abuse!

Yes, we’ve heard it before: cell phones, they say, give us cancer. But this time, the message is from a noted medical researcher and this time it’s a message that is supported by a number of governments including Finland, Israel, France and even Canada. Dr. Devra Davis is the author of Disconnect: the Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Has Done to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family, a new book which suggests that there is indeed an all-too-intimate connection between our cell phones and our bodies.

“Practice safe phone,” Dr. Davis told me when she came into the San Francisco TechCrunchTV studio to talk about Disconnect. The truth about cell phone radiation, she explained, is that the closer we keep the phone to our bodies, the more dangerous they become. Thus keeping our phone in our trouser pocket or, god forbid, sleeping with it, is a recipe for disaster, Dr. Davis says – particularly for children who, she warns, are much more vulnerable to the long-term consequences of cell phone radiation than grown-ups.

So is Dr. Davis crazy? If she is, then so are the governments of Finland, Israel, France and Canada who are all now trying to protect their citizens from cell phone radiation. And even the Americans are beginning to wake up to the threat, with enlightened city governments in Berkeley and San Francisco now encouraging their residents to practice safe phone.

I was unaware that a Smart Meter had been installed on our house, but I suddenly began having severe, debilitating headaches, joint and muscle pain, muscle cramping, elevated blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, insomnia, and an intermittent buzzing/tingling sensation in my legs and feet that happened every few seconds day and night, and I realized on checking with the electric company, that my symptoms began right after the Smart Meter was first installed. What further confirmed for me my suspicion that my symptoms were connected to the Smart Meter was the fact that my symptoms completely disappeared when I would go to stay a few days at my daughter’s house in Marin County (which has placed a moratorium on Smart Meter installation, so consequently none of the houses or businesses in her area have Smart Meters).

The effects of the Smart Meter were so debilitating for me that I have relocated to North Carolina, to an area where there are no Smart Meters.

We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
