National/International Day of Action to Stop Smart Meters on Thursday, Oct. 4th
Protests in Wash DC, throughout the nation, and in other countries/Call/Write the White House
You have a SDG&E smart meter (or several) on your property now, unless you opted out.
Smart utility meters are said to be unhealthy by hundreds of physicians, invade our privacy and collect data about our habits, are a menace to national security as they place the electrical grid at risk, can be easily hacked into to gain info about you or interfere with the grid, and have been forced on the public without environmental safety studies or full disclosure about the amount of RF radiation you are being exposed to, which has been determined to provide full body radiation up to 160 X that of a cell phone, 24/7. Many people in San Diego County and around the nation are also reporting higher bills, sometimes 3-4 X their previous bills, following installation of smart meters. Many are getting sick after installation, with insomnia, headaches, heart problems, dizziness, ringing ears, ear pain, nausea, and some are reporting seizures. No one should have the right to force a device on American citizens that is dangerous or invades our privacy. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) has recently issued a warning to all physicians and patients, that people with a wide variety of medical conditions, including but not limited to pregnancy, lung, neurological (ADD, ADHD), cancer, and heart conditions, should not have a smart meter on their homes due to the pulsed microwave RF radiation emitted. Read the list here.
It is absolutely appalling that the smart meters and the wireless mesh network these are part of have been forced on us, partially paid for by tax money and with the blessing of what is being called the most openly corrupted state agency in existence, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
You can "opt-out" - get the smart meters off your own property - now, following a year and a half of legal challenges at the CPUC, but for a fee imposed by the utilities with the CPUC's approval, despite vigorous opposition by Parties such as our organization, CEP. We are continuing to challenge the fees and contend that community opt-outs (such as multi-family dwellings and entire cities and counties) should be able to opt-out free as a group. We assert that the fees are illegal, that all opt-outs should be free (as they are in Vermont) and ultimately, all smart meters banned. Even if you opt-out, that doesn't mean your neighbors will - and some smart meters are aimed right at your living space, or there could be a large bank of them right next to your apartment - nor does it mean that the RF radiation pulses from the 'mesh network' aren't going on constantly in the neighborhood, or that you aren't living next to a 'collector meter' with thousands more pulses daily than the rest. So we must continue to agitate for a complete ban. By no means is this battle over.
--------------------------------------
Actions you can take on October 4th:
1. Help plan and/or participate in a smart meter protest in your area. If you live in San Diego County and wish to participate in a protest, contact director@electrosmogprevention.org. If you live elsewhere in CA or another state, or for more info, click here.
2. Call and write the White House if you can't participate in a protest event on October 4th. The phone number to call is 1-202-456-1111, and you can also write to the White House at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments. We encourage you to do both and to have everyone you know do the same!
TELL PRESIDENT OBAMA THAT "SMART METERS ARE NOT THE KIND OF CHANGE WE NEED"! TELL HIM TO STOP FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SMART METERS - AND TO BAN THEM!
You may wish to say, "President Obama: I oppose wireless smart meters because of serious health risks and health problems after their installation, loss of privacy, hacking , cyber security risks, fires, and increased costs. Please stop encouraging their use. I would like you to help with a nationwide ban on the use of smart meters and a moratorium on the federal funding of smart meters. Many of my family and friends feel the same way. In fact, a large number of communities including counties and cities have come out against smart meters due to these problems, even to the point of criminalizing their installation. The federal government should not be encouraging or paying for such dangerous and intrusive technologies." Add your personal reasons. Sign and provide contact info.

The utility companies are collecting data on your personal use patterns and are selling them to any companies that want them and making some available to law enforcement without a judge's order. Later this year or early next year the utilities will ramp up the billing, using the smart meters to gouge you during peak hours, where you will pay far more. Oh the fun they will have. Right now, it is the honeymoon period. Just using smart meters alone does not lower bills, by the way, as they actually use more electricity to run. It is cutting back on our electrical and gas usage - that is people conserving - that saves energy and lowers bills. Many of the smart meters are gouging people already, many thousands complaining about bills that are enormous, even when they aren't home for a month or two, with utilities denying that the devices are defective or worse, being used to steal our money. There are many reasons to avoid them for people who take the time to find out the dark side of smart meters. Just wait, everyone will be rushing to opt-out once the peak hours are two to three times the cost they now are. After all, that is what makes the meters "smart" - they can track you and your habits, and detect your use for each minute of the day. Oh, the fun they are having, licking their chops for the money they will make off the unsuspecting public. This is why they want to attack anyone alerting the public. So if you don't care about health risks, how about your wallet?
i has hoped we were over this..accurate science having debunked most if not all of brinchman's fallacious "facts".... but i guess it's like crabgrass.. almost impossible to kill.. doug
Law enforcement is routinely using the data, nationwide, from the smart meters. I agree that this should be a violation. But who cares about laws now, when you can buy the politicians and the courts? If you care to look at the CPUC documents associated with the grid plans, you will see clearly that I am informing you of what is to come.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

When: THURS, OCT. 4TH Time: 11 AM - 1 PM Where: corner of Encinitas Blvd and Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA BRING YOUR SIGNS - STOP SMART METERS, BAN SMART METERS, NO OPT-OUT FEES, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO HEALTH, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY Background: What we want: a nationwide ban on smart meters and until then, free opt-outs and elimination of all banks of smart meters, like at apartment complexes This local protest will be held as part of the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION TO STOP SMART UTILITY METERS during "GRIDWEEK", a national conference in Wash DC promoting the increased use of dangerous and intrusive smart meters. Our health and privacy are at stake. We all have a smart meter or two on our property, placed there by SDG&E in the past three years. People are reporting illness from these. There is a smart meter opt-out available from SDG&E, provided after vigorous legal challenges at the CPUC. However, it is for a high fee ($195 for the first year, $120 a year thereafter), despite the fact that state law forbids extra fees for safety or for accommodating medical conditions. [CA Public Utility Code 328.2(b) states: “No customer should have to pay separate fees for utilizing services that protect public or customer safety.”] We want free opt-outs like Vermont has, no banks of smart meters, all smart meters banned, ultimately.
You really surprise me! Never thought I would hear you support an ACLU position. The law the Obama Administration is using is the FISA Amendments Act which was signed into law by President Bush in July 2008 and gives government authority to monitor Americans’ INTERNATIONAL emails and phone calls. What your link has to do with smart meters is beyond me, but then it is just another attempt to jab President Obama because of your hatred.
Get it now?
As one on the receiving end of abuse and who the anti-wireless desperately want silenced I encourage you to be very judicious. I find that when it comes to "Terms of Use" the Patch operates on a one way street in the direction of Smart Meters. If you don't believe me, check out this post that is bitterly offensive to those who understand the Holocaust: http://carlsbad.patch.com/blog_posts/i-now-understand-how-the-nazis-took-over-germany Here is an excerpt from one of your bloggers: "People are being harmed, tortured, and killed by these smart meters - and in their own homes, or driven from their homes by them, to live on the streets or wherever they can find. Do we all care? Do we take action? Or do we smugly think "it is not my problem", just as the Germans did when the Jews' rights were progressively carved away and finally hauled off to be killed." The Patch "Terms of Use" also prohibits Content that: "is inaccurate, false or misleading in any way;" Which covers most of the postings from the anti-wireless posters. Finally, there are any number of baseless ad hominem attacks including this one from Susan Brinchman: http://lamesa.patch.com/blog_posts/your-best-friend-is-not-wi-fi "Chris, what is so amusing is that these shills won't even use their real names, nor their locations (could be a psychiatric institute or a jail for all we know) and want to be authorities." So where you think people are crossing the line?
No health threat has been linked with the RF emissions from smart meters. I refuted Daniel Hirsch's claim based on elementary principles of RF. I have yet to see that refutation challenged by any of the anti-wireless posters. We have seen one health official who included Hirch's work in her report. It is likely that other public health officials supporting the anti-wireless claims are similarly inept. The CEP continues to issue false and misleading information about smart meter health effects because it has no other purpose and would have to shut down if it accepted credible science.
As far as Mary is concerned, I haven't seen a post from her since your BS remarks to her about her husband.
1) I'm not really engaged in the privacy issue. My beef is with the health issue. 2) What is the specific privacy concern, what information do you feel is being harvested and how do you believe it will be abused?

http://www.adl.org/main_Extremism/Rense_Web_Site.htm Jeff Rense is an Ashland, Oregon-based Internet and satellite radio host who maintains a virulently anti-Semitic Web site, Rense.com. His radio show promotes a wide variety of conspiracy theories, often focusing on extraterrestrial aliens but including a great deal of anti-Semitism expressed both by Rense's guests and Rense himself.
Looks like there is some 9/11 conspiracy theory and possibly anti-semitic propaganda being posted above. I will not visit the Rense site, but I do support the ADL and find it trustworthy. Since you made a point of posting the "Terms of Use" in this blog, where do you stand on Linda Floyd's post? I did post a link to a site managed by Deanna Spingola which is anti-semitic, but I did so in the context of awareness -- not promotion.

You may also type that meter description into a search engine or on the GE site and get more specifics. Good luck!
Ms. Brinchman has yet to provide conclusive scientific information that RF radiation at FCC approved levels makes people sick.
