I don’t see anything wrong with them. Electric companies use them all the time.

As a matter of fact, this has been done before. Experts say it works.

I’m glad Trumps experts did not tell him this idiotic tactic works!

While I don't like the tactic, it is not something new. Both Democrats and Republicans, liberal and conservative groups have used these types of letters in past elections

I will tell you how grossly offended I was when Indy Power and Light pulled this crap. They sent out shame letters telling me I use more power than my neighbors.

The only problem is that those SOBs didn’t bother to figure in that I have a blind neighbor on one side, two neighbors who are never home and a bunch of seniors who don’t use technology.

I think that our power company must have had truckloads of
“go eat shat” responses. Including mine. They quit doing it.

If you think this is okay, fine, but I purposely upped my power usage in retaliation.
