Wise up on Smart Meters RF Free Analogs are the Safe, Reliable Choice.

The smart grid's security vulnerabilities make it a really, really stupid grid. James Woolsey, Former CIA Director (http://www.energynow.com/video/2011/08/10/preview-mix-james-woolsey) WHAT'S AT STA ! "ri#ac$. Smart Meter data usage collection is in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Utilities collect data and sell or give it to government agencies and corporations. Police access data without a search warrant. Hackers check on when we are home and what appliances we have.

Thousands of new studies show that very weak radio frequency radiation has immediate health effects and causes disease over time. This evidence is ignored by the Government and the utilities. We won't ignore the evidence and we hold KIUC Board members responsible for bringing this new layer of danger into our communities. (www.$ioinitiative.org) Truth. The KIUC website says Smart Meters emit microwave radiation 86 seconds a day. In fact, these 86 seconds are divided into tens of thousands of continuous micro bursts, creating a constant fog of electro-magnetic danger from every smart meter in our neighborhood. This puts us all at risk and did not exist two years ago. (http://em%sa%etynetwor).org/&page#id(8*2) Mone$. Smart Meters use more electricity, not less and the meters have to be upgraded every 5 years. The German Federal Ministry of Economics determined that there is no cost benefit for smart meters in Germany (08/13). The FBI warns that easily hacked smart meter fraud may cost utility companies $400 million per year.

You may want to opt out as you learn more. No one should have to pay for privacy or health. Two years ago KIUC had 5 meter readers for 30,000 meters. Now there are 3000 old style meters and KIUC wants $320,000/year to read them? For all 30,000 meters they would require over $3mil/year to hire five meter readers? %ri& Securit$. Experts say smart grids can be hacked and over time we can expect it.

'itigation. KIUC has given a no fee opt out to privacy and health to one Kauai member in Federal Court last year and should give this free right to all of us. Who will pay for KIUC expenses in Court against We the People when we demand non-discrimination? Legal expenses between Board vs. Membership should be Board Member liability, not membership liability. Also, landlords and employers might face lawsuits from tenants and employees defending their health and right to privacy.. (http://www.a%terenlightenment.net/settlement.pd%) Accountabilit$. KIUC Board and CEO knew in advance that people would want wireless free analog meters. If the Board members threw away the old safe meters, they will have to purchase new ones at their personal expense. The excuse that they threw them away is not an excuse, but a crime. Who is responsible here? Not the membership. For more information #isit www.-lanet.asis.org+or www.p2p/auai.org 'i(e https://www.%ace$oo).com/sa%emeters)auai on Faceboo(.
