i already contacted my elec utility company and told them “no” to a smart meter.  i can do that – for now.  however they are saying i have to agree to their fees.  nope – i have not consented to that – to which they said i cannot opt out then unless i do.  i said there is no law that says that and i will not be bullied by them.  there are organizations that fight for our rights and i said i will utilize them.  so i reiterated – and recorded – i am opting out and am not consenting to their fees.  free beings do not consent.
