About Orlean
Orlean Koehle has been serving as the Eagle Forum State President
since 2002. In 2006, when she and her husband, Dr. Kurt Koehle,
discovered their rural property rights were under attack by the
General Plan 2020 (part of Agenda 21), she started a group called
Sonoma County Land Rights Coalition. The group began their battle to
become better educated to try to stop the abuse of power of
unelected officials on property rights in their county.

If
you are not aware of Smart Meters NOW is the time to get up to
speed. Put a sign on your meter IMMEDIATELY telling your utility
company that you DO NOT want a Smart Meter. They do not contact you
before installation – you just have it one day and it’s difficult to
get your old meter back. This is something we can all agree on
whether your concern is health, private property rights, imposed
solutions due to the fictional battle against global warming or
something in between. The time to push back on the imposition of
Smart Meters is BEFORE one shows up on your house. |
|
Why should YOU be
concerned? |
|
●
Constant radio-frequency radiation (RFR) –
neighboring meters will
bounce signals to each other24/7 |
|
●
Does
NOT save energy –
as
claimed. |
|
●
No FCC Safety
Standards exist for chronic long-term exposure to RF
radiation from multiple sources. |
|
●
Adverse health effects
from electromagnetic pollution
include sleep disorders, irritability, short term memory loss,
headaches, anxiety, nausea, DNA damage, cancer, premature aging,
Alzheimers, heart palpitations, etc.. |
|
●
Untested technology –
wireless
technologies are already causing illness in many people. |
|
●
Skyrocketing utility bills –
up to 2 to 3 times higher than
before the “smart meters” were installed, even for vacant homes. |
|
●
Privacy violated –
government and corporations want to buy your
data |
|
●
Security issues –
easily hacked and easily monitored by
burglars |
|
●
Fire hazards –
risk of electrical shock and frying sensitive
electronic equipment. |
|
●
Waste of our money –
ratepayers will pay for these meters through rate increases - $2
billion is being spent. |
|
●
Loss of jobs –
for meter
readers when job creation should be top priority. |
|
●
Undemocratic process –
PG&E is telling people that they
have absolutely no right to opt out. |
|
●
Much Smarter & Wiser
Alternatives exist that do not use wireless. –
DSL or phone lines can be used.
|
|
|
|
Join the
growing official & grassroots movement! Demand to opt-out for your
home and tell your neighbors too! |
|
Put a
sign over your meter to refuse a smart
meter installation. Otherwise the wireless meter will be installed

|

a complaint to the CPUC and demand
a moratorium on installation until all concerns are addressed

Go Solar!
Current wireless smart meters don’t work with the net-metering
requirements by solar panels |
|

Are We heading for a Smart Grid
