Beware the Smart Electric Meter—It’s Coming for YOU!

Many electric companies have installed “Smart Meters” on homes all over the country, and they plan to do the same with every house in America, including yours. These nifty little electronic wonders track when you turn something on or off, and how many watts your appliances pull. They also have the added feature of being radio transmitters, and as such, they send the record of electric usage over wireless networks that bounce from smart meter to smart meter to its final destination, a computer at the electric company.

The writing on Obama’s wall

Last week, leaders of the House democrats emerged from a caucus meeting with words of advice for Barack Obama: Invoke the Constitution to resolve the debt standoff.

Property Rights at Risk with Executive Order 13575

On June 9, 2011, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13575 “…to enhance Federal engagement with rural communities…” In other words, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

As this Executive Order affirms, these communities “face numerous challenges but have enormous economic potential.” However, the people in our rural communities, gifted with more common sense than those in Washington, have always managed their land and resources well, now suddenly, D.C. has decided they know how to do things better.
