We encourage people to become educated about Radio Frequency exposure and to take action to limit unnecessary exposure by turning off their routers when not in use, replacing cordless phones that have NOT been equipped with automatic shutoff, staying a safe distance from microwave oven, removing cellular security systems in favor of a hardwired telephone line for communication, and keeping a safe distance from cell phones.
Please join with the Coalition For Safe Meters of San Antonio as we petition San Antonio City Council for a Moratorium on the installation of Radiation Pulsing Meters (RPMs).

URGENT ! — Please CONTACT KEN PAXTON, TEXAS Atty General : In addition to both the Attorneys General of Illinois and Connecticut, the Attorney General of Michigan issued the following statement calling into question the efficacy of “smart” meters and the “smart” grid. “What the record sadly lacks is a discussion of competing considerations regarding the program or the necessity of the program and its costs as related to any net benefit to customers.” |

The Michigan Attorney General's statement :http://efile.mpsc.state.mi.us/efile/docs/17000/0408.pdf) reinforces the assertion that the only benefit of the “smart” grid is to utilities, not ratepayers. Utilities are gaming the system through their 8 to 10% guaranteed rate of return on so-called “capital investments”. |

CPS Energy forcing Dangerous 'Collector' Meters on Condos in San Antonio |
---|
In a meeting with the Les Chateux Condo Board, CPS Energy insisted that they will go forward with plans to install RF emitting 'collector meters' and scoffed at any possible danger to residents. However, please click on the video below of Jerry Flynn explaining why he believes the Mesh Grid Network and 'collector meters' (which have 3 constantly pulsing radio transmitters) are a serious health concern to the residents and decide for yourself. Bobbie Mueller video shows RF from household devices and highlights the already existing danger of RF with wi-fi devices. Shouldn't we be finding ways to lower RF exposure rather than allowing CPS to mandate we have more RF from their meters ?
CPS Energy spokesperson, Lisa Lewis stated .. "The American Cancer Society told us they can't be tied to any particular ailments or issues and we trust in that science .. " however, click here for full statement and admission more studies should be done and includes the following:

Many will argue that the CPS Board of Trustees is just another group of politically connected, handpicked, unelected, unaccountable people that "rubber stamp" policy decisions.
Additionally, many will argue that the CPS Board has made decisions "out of sight" and "under the darkness" of self-imposed rules of organization, which disallow citizens from speaking at their Board meetings that are not broadcast on PEG Programming (on the Government Channel).
We would like to think otherwise, but that would require a major shift in their direction. Please join with us to make this shift happen. Some actions that you could easily take include:
"SECTION 1252 - 'SMART'* METERING (* their terminology)
(C) 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.
If the Board does not take these actions, we will need your help to engage City Council to remove the CPS Board of Trustees and replace these Members with people that are willing to investigate the deficiencies of the RPMs and the plight of homeowners that want to guard their health and privacy.
Mayor Ivy Taylor is an 'ex-officio' (by virtue of office or official position) Member of the Board. [Former Mayor Julian Castro was on the Board when CPS "bought into" this technology.] The Mayor serves on the Board and is paid approximately, $ 2500/yr. Be sure to contact the Mayor. Contact information for the Mayor can be found here.

Did you know that Radio Frequency (RF) exposure, was classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a Class '2B' carcinogen (Possible Carcinogen) ?
Please watch the above video and you will see a World Health Organization Scientist explain why he believes that exposure to RF should be upgraded to a more serious designation - that of Class 2A - PROBABLE Carcinogen.:
Did you know that electric utility companies all over the world, including CPS Energy of San Antonio, have been installing RPMs (Radiation Pulsing Meters) long after the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the danger of RF ?
Did you know that World Health Organization (WHO) Scientists now believe that RF should be reclassified as a '2A' Carcinogen (Probable Carcinogen), shouldn't this be a wake-up call to stop further installations ?
Did you know CPS Energy insists this program is going to save money ? CPS is spending $ 290 MILLION , on this program where safe analog meters are disposed of, even though across the country utilities are now being forced to allow analog meters to be installed ?
Did you know that the Home Manager@ Program advertised by CPS Energy as FREE, is actually a Federally funded program, apparently paid for by Federal taxes ?
We believe the WHO studies need to be part of the decision making by local officials and home and business owners when deciding whether or not to sign up for CPS Energy's Home Manager program, which requires transmitting antennas and/or a Radiation Pulsing Meter
We believe the WHO studies should have been provided to owners of Solar Panels that were forced to put an RPM (Radiation Pulsing Meters) on their homes.
And lastly, WHY the secrecy ?
Most of the initial 40,000 homeowners in the CPS pilot program were NOT warned that their safe analog meters were being replaced with the Radiation Pulsing Meters and these homeowners were NEVER told that the World Health Organization considers exposure to RF a Class 2B Carcinogen.
Jerry Day of FreedomTaker.com
explains how to replace an RPM (Radiation Pulsing Meter) with a safe Analog meter.

Smart Meters - In Truth, NO FEDERAL Mandate
Stop Smart Meters Organization
Dangers of Meter DataWe are a local non partisan group of concerned citizens and organizations.
We enjoy modern technology and understand that some technologies include inherent risks.
We believe that NO technology should be allowed to pose a danger to others. An example would be Radiation Pulsing Meters that expose neighbors to "nuisance" radiation. Click here for videos about dangers to individuals with Pacemakers and heart arythmia.
Most importantly, we believe that ALL technology MUST be designed with safeguards. In most cases, this safeguard may simply be an OFF switch. CPS Energy's RPMs (Radiation Pulsing Meters) DO NOT have an OFF switch.
Please join with us as we work to get all local City Leaders (in Bexar County) to turn OFF this program of forced meters, for those of us that don't wish to be exposed to Radiation from these Radiation Pulsing Meters.
