(Insert Names from Power Company) Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer (Insert Address of Utility

Company) Second address: (Insert 2nd Address if Utility has others) Sent Certified (Date) Dear (Insert names from Above): We received your unsigned certified letter about your Smart Meter Program. This letter is to inform you that, despite your coercive attempts to force ratepayers into your program, we refuse to have Smart Meters installed at our house. The so-called "choices" you offer are no choices at all. Since we have never had Smart Meters, we find it outrageous that you should now try to charge us initial plus monthly fees for a service that we have paid for and you have delivered trouble free (and at minimal costs) for decades! To be clear, we never opted into your Smart Meter Program. One cannot be said to "opt in" where coercion and pressure is used. And because we have never opted into it, we cannot opt out. Therefore, your proposed "choices" and associated fees do not apply to us. Indeed, the choice whether to enroll in the program is properly left to the customer, per the Energy Policy Act of 2005, under Title Xll, Subtitle E, Section 1252, (a), (14), (C). It states: "Each electric utility subject to subparagraph (A) shall provide each customer requesting a time-based rate with a time-based meter capable of enabling the utility and customer to offer and receive such rate, respectively." We hold our position because, among many other compelling reasons including data corruption, cybernetic insecurity, privacy violations, unreliability, lack of billing transparency and discrepancies, fire danger, and negative health impacts, your rollout of Smart Meters is patently illegal for several reasons: 1. You have not provided the operative FCC Grant of Equipment authorization for Smart Meter installations, which, expressly stipulates how, these devices should be professionally installed. 2. The same FCC stipulations also require that the antenna(s) used for the transmitter must have a minimum "separation distance which you have not shared to the customers. Most Mesh Network Smart Meters per FCC stipulations must not be colocated . . ." 3. Moreover, "End-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance." Without barriers or written warnings/notices posted near your SmartMeters, This Utility, Power Company is out of compliance with these FCC requirements. Yes, we operate life support and other sensitive medical equipment in our home. The growing consensus supported by truly independent studies as well as World Health Organization findings is that Smart Meters operating in conjunction with a Smart Grid pose a serious and unwarranted public health hazard Heretofore there has never been a surcharge for having an analog meter. Also if we have an AMR step of meter before total wireless. Our meters are the same reliable ones that have been in service

here all along, unchanged. If you now insist on extorting us for our refusal to opt into your program, you will be in further violation of Colorado Public Utilities Code Section 453(b), which states: "No public utility shall prejudice, disadvantage, or require different rates or deposit amounts from a person because of ancestry, medical condition, marital status or change in marital status, occupation, or any characteristic listed or defined in Section 11135 of the Government Code. A person who has exhausted all administrative remedies with the commission may institute a suit for injunctive relief and reasonable attorney's fees in cases of an alleged violation of this subdivision. If successful in litigation, the prevailing party shall be awarded attorney's fees." We do not consent to the above referenced Utility/Power Company usage of existing on-premises gas and electric meters as the basis for a claim of entitlement to install digital mesh network antennae and transceivers for third-party data at current meter locations. If the above referenced Utility/Power Company wants to build out a digital wireless mesh network infrastructure for for-profit use by third parties, it can do so in the same way that every competing digital wireless data network operator has done: by purchasing or leasing property for this purpose, and/or by negotiating and obtaining permission to place equipment on property not owned by your utility power company. To reiterate, we refuse to opt into your Smart Meter Program and we furthermore refuse to pay extortion fees to retain the same reliable analog, AMR meters that have been here all along. We also seek the re-installment of ANALOG Meter if you have changed our meters without previous permission. If you ignore our refusal by proceeding with installation of Smart Meters without our consent, we shall initiate litigation or recovery of damages. Said damages will occur when your company effectively takes valuable radio transceiver and antenna siting rights on our property without compensation, which we would otherwise be entitled to reserve, to exercise for ourselves, or to sell or rent to parties and on terms of our choosing. Furthermore, we have not seen or received a copy of your mandatory letter to the CPUC's Executive director requesting authority to install a Smart Meter at the affected customer's location. Nor have we seen any written authorization from the CPUC Executive Director approving such installation at any affected customer's location. We have learned not to trust the above referenced utility power company word(s) without proof. We have seen no such proof to date. A complaint has been filed with the CPUC over this issue and the promised response has not yet been forthcoming. Until the response is made, we do not consider this issue settled. Besides driving up unemployment in a severe recession, we, having no choice regarding what utility provider we wish to use, find it contrary to the concept and intent of a unregulated, or regulated utility to impose health and security risks on us, your clients, without our agreement. Since you "fully support individual choice when it comes to the meter at your home," we're confident that you will wholeheartedly approve of our choice to send you this notice in lieu of your form, and to continue the service agreement giving customers the choice to have analog, AMR or AMI meters. We wish to have the Analog Meter replaced. In Summary, we choose not to have a time-based metering device or system installed on our private property. Sincerely,
