Stop   Smart   Meters
                                            Georgia
Contact List for Senators in Georgia Assembly

Senate Bill 459, for an opt out option for "smart" meters, with a possible fee (one time and monthly) has passed through the Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee.  It is now in the Rules Committee (not a poli-sci major, so feel free to correct me at any time).


Once SB 459 comes out of the Rules Committee, all the senators in the Georgia Assembly will vote on it the next session day.  So, since it may come out of the Rules Committee today, we need to work fast to call all the senators and:
 
1.  Demand that the opt out be free.  We shouldn't have to pay to avoid possible sickness and death!

2.  Demand that the law (Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005) be followed:  You should only get a "smart" meter if you ask for one!  Opt out should actually be opt in only.

3.  Demand that all "smart" meters be removed from every house and business in Georgia, and replaced with safe, analog meters.  No form of a "smart" meter is acceptable because, even with the radiation-spewing transmitter turned off, they're still a health hazard in more ways than one.  They are extremely dangerous, and never should have been put up in the first place (see the "'Smart' Meter Survival Kit" page and http://stopsmartmeters.org/ to find out why.

Below is the senator contact list.  Please call and/or write as many as you can today, tomorrow, and every day until the next vote, which may be Monday or Wednesday (if SB 459 passes out of the Rules Committee today, it will be voted on on Monday.  If it comes out of the Rules Committee on Monday, the senators will vote on it Wednesday.  If it passes that point, we start again with the Georgia representatives - yippee!).

Please alert your family, friends, and neighbors to the grave danger that "smart" meters pose.  Have them call their senators, too, to get them on the right - safe - track.  Georgians deserve healthy electricity, and we will have it.  Just say "FREE OPT OUT - BETTER YET, FOLLOW FEDERAL LAW AND MAKE IT OPT IN ONLY!"

Interesting side note:  Senator Rick Jeffares was the only one in the Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee that voted against Senate Bill 459.  It would be helpful to find out why, so we know where Senator Jeffares stands on the issue.  Does he not want Georgians to be able to opt out of having a risky "smart" meter?  Did he not like the fee portion of the bill?  I've emailed the senator, but have not heard back yet.  Please feel free to contact him yourself, and please let us know what he said!

Last, but not least:  We need to find a senator that will make a floor amendment to take the "fee" portion of SB 459 off the bill.  I hope one of you intrepid adventurers out there will ask your senator to make that floor amendment.  I just called mine, and left a message to that effect.  I hope one or more of us can get a commitment from our legislators to act in our best interest and introduce (?) a floor amendment to remove the fee from the opt out option.

Your Call Can Save Lives (maybe yours or your family's)!  Please Call and/or Email As Many Senators (below) As You Can, to Tell Them You Want An OPT OUT OPTION from these dangerous meters!  Here is the general link, in case it takes me a while to post them all.  There are a total of 56 Georgia state senators:  http://www.senate.ga.gov/SENATORS/en-US/SenateMembersList.aspx

 
Please call all that you can, but I'm also putting their home towns, so those from these towns can make a special effort to contact these particular men and women.  I'll make their names a link, so you can go directly to their page, if you want.  The emails are also a link, so you can conveniently send them an email.
