Take Action to stop smart meters in Longmont, on Behalf of Yourself, Your Family, Your Environment, and Your Community
For those unwilling to have a smart meter foisted upon them (or pay an outrageous protection fee that comes with opting out to a digital but NOT electromechanical “analog” meter) who are ready to explore other options and avenues of pushing back against a city council and power company who will not listen to the truth about this harmful and unsafe technology:
WE MAKE NO PROMISE THAT ANY OF THE BELOW WILL WORK, PLEASE DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE AND THEN DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU….WITH THAT SAID –
HERE ARE SOME THINGS OTHERS HAVE USED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THEIR HOMES (AFTER YOU’VE BECOME EDUCATED AND DECIDED THAT ONE OR MORE OF THE BELOW ACTIONS IS WARRANTED……)

“Whether is it unsafe trespassing technology or other unwanted interventions, InPower can help you reclaim your authority with the use of our commercial administrative process that anyone can use.”
SIGNAGE: (Thank you, Niwot) A simple sign saying something like “no trespassing” “no tampering” “do not install smart-meter” would be more effective in stopping a utility sub-contractor when they come to install. (They aren’t going to call the sheriff first for permission, and as far as they’ve been told, you consented.) Placing a sign like this on/near the old electric meter, and unavoidably in their line of vision, you speak directly to the agent (the person doing the installation), and they can’t ignore it.
Here is a more detailed legal notice to post by the meter.

We are not ‘Opting Out,’ We Are Refusing to Opt In…… The following is written for customers of PG&E in Northern California, but it is also applicable to customers of other utilities around the US and internationally who are unjustifiably charging steep penalties simply to retain their analog utility meter.

NIWOT’S WARNING NOTICE to smart meter installers/agents – something you can print out and use if it resonates. For further information, email niwot@tita.casa

VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME, EXPERTISE, MONEY:
We need people to assist in handing out flyers/NOTICEs of the smart meters coming, in neighborhoods in the city of Longmont. Our intention is to raise awareness among those who know nothing of smart meters and the potential harms they can cause, to people, pollinators, pets, and soil microorganisms……in hopes of awakening many more people in our city to this incoming hazard…..(who, once even partly educated, may NOT think the AMI/smart meter rollout is such a “smart” idea!).
Reach out by emailing: longmont4safetech@gmail.com
Include something like “I want to help” – “volunteer” – “donate” – “pledge $$$” – “save our bees” or “other” in your subject line!!!
SHOWING UP AT CITY COUNCIL – FORM YOUR OWN GROUP OR GO WITH OTHERS AND LET YOUR VOICES AND OPINIONS BE HEARD ON THE RECORD:
Longmont City Council / LCC are the ones who ushered this in. Some of us have been speaking out to the city for nearly four years, yes, that’s right, four years!!!! We have brought to bear credible subject matter experts to tell the city “why” we ought to NOT roll out smart meters, all to no avail. Now, talk about a “town crier moment”…..we are well past that, but the numbers of us showing up again and again lend credence to the surmisal that there are more people in Longmont (if they only knew what harm these meters are capable of) would show up in opposition.
WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR – We have at least two local online papers to submit to, the Times Call and the Longmont Leader!
ARE YOU IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING OR CONDOMINIUM/TOWNHOME COMPLEX AND DON’T WANT “SMART” METERS?
If so, get organized with other tenants, and see if you can get the support of building managers/ owners. Organize a meeting and get a speaker, get your local community educated!!!!!
An important request regarding smart meter fires – relevant to our situation in Longmont!!
If anyone reading this (and beyond, friends, associates, and contacts you know of) has information and/or photos taken after the Marshall Fire, that show evidence of the damage, especially if there are pictures of smart meters, we need you to share them with us. many residents have a legitimate concern here over the possibility of smart meter fires and anyone with photos and/or stories to relate about smart meter fires and/or the Marshall Fire is very much encouraged and requested to reach out to us.
Please contact: longmont4safetech@gmail.com
AT THE VERY LEAST, IF YOU PLAN TO OPT OUT VIA THE CITY’S SCHEME AND ARE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN A HEAD COUNT:
Please email us at longmont4safetech@gmail.com to let us know: 1) whether you’re planning to go along with the LPC’s paid opt-out plan, with its “pay-to-protect” fee scheme and 2) whether you are a Longmont resident, and if you want to become active in some manner!

PETITIONS YOU CAN SIGN, LEGAL/QUASI LEGAL ACTIONS YOU CAN SUPPORT THAT FAVOR SAFE TECHNOLOGY AND THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE:
Please peruse the below action items and then, time and God willing, act on each one.
Immediate Action Steps You Can Take in Support of Safe Technology
Of immediate importance…
URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Stop the American Broadband Deployment Act of 2023 from Being Enacted.
Take Action to Prevent the Next Wireless Invasion
Citizens’ Petition to the FDA – the FDA is violating its own law. Please sign ART’s petition!!! Back in 1968, Congress passed a law, “An Act to Amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for the protection of the public health from radiation emissions from electronic products.” In its Declaration of Purpose, Congress wrote, “The Congress hereby declares that the public health and safety must be protected from the dangers of electronic product radiation.” The FDA is REQUIRED to undertake specific actions to protect Americans from unnecessary exposure to RF radiation from electronic devices. The agency is doing none of those things.

Please go here to support Children’s Health Defense in demanding the FCC recognize electromagnetic sensitivity or EMS.
Tell Your Federal and State Legislators to Introduce/Support Utility Meter Choice!!!!!
Smart and digital utility meters are actively being deployed and mandated across the U.S. without adequately informing consumers of the health, safety, and privacy risks.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE A PARENT OR ARE CONCERNED FOR CHILDREN’S WELLBEING –
Take the enclosed legal letter to your school administrators and/or school board members. (*See “Legal Imperative for Schools,” below, for further details.)
This is powerful medicine for anyone wishing to promote safe technology in our learning institutions.
*THE LEGAL IMPERATIVE FOR SCHOOLS from TechSafeSchools.org
Federal, state, and local laws and practices impose significant responsibilities upon school administrators to protect children, teachers, and staff from RF radiation. See this page and read the letter from eight distinguished attorneys. Then take action by sending or taking the letter to your local school officials and area school boards and ask for a response!
Children everywhere are being exposed to this ubiquitous and dangerous wireless radiation in the name of learning and education as well as “bridging the digital divide.” But how safe is it? (11,000 pages of science submitted into the 2021 CHD/EHT vs. FCC lawsuit demonstrates that non-ionizing i.e., RF-microwave radiation is not safe at all, especially for vulnerable groups, such as children, with developing brains, and fast-growing bodies.)
