I "fixed" this entry, removing a bunch of propaganda from right wing sources. Frankly, this article shouldn't even exist, because there is simply no self-identified "neo-luddite" movement. This entry is an attempt by right wingers to establish that such a mythical movement exists. The stuff about Teresa Heniz Kerry funding this so-called movement is the dead giveaway that this entry has no factual basis.
How do people go about removing article from Misplaced Pages that have no factual basis? This "neo-luddite" movement is a right wing fantasy.

- Here is Misplaced Pages's deletion policy. The term "neo-luddite" is in common usage, and I doubt you will find much community consensus for deletion. While few would identify themselves as "neo-luddites", there certainly is a diverse movement advocating everything from a critical analysis of modern technologies to the elimination of such technologies.
