Urgent for Texans in the Austin area - 'smart' meters

 If you know someone who lives in Texas. Also, if you listen to Alex Jones show, maybe call in and ask him to announce this important city council meeting. I can't attend as I live six hours away.

 

 

Hello Everyone,

 

The Austin City Council will be voting on a new $60M contact to increase the smart meter system in Austin.  The contract is to implement a two-way communication system that has health and privacy advocates concerned.  The new contract will increase the levels of radiation and will query our electricity usage multiple times a minute and enable communication with devices in our homes such as dryers, A/C, diswashers, etc.

 

We need your help:  Please take Action and Forward to those that are interested.
