Utility companies claim the Smart Meters are safe and not hazardous to your health because the FCC would not allow utility companies to release a “bad product”.  Utility companies state that because the Smart Meters transmit only at 1 watt and for only a total of 40 seconds in a day, there are no risks, and therefore, the Smart Meters are completely safe and nothing to be concerned over.

What the utility companies are NOT telling you is that the utility companies ping (send signal to) your Smart Meter about every 4 seconds to ensure it is still online.  Your Smart Meter then responds back to the utility companies to confirm it is still operational.  This communication is in addition to the transmission of your actual electrical usage which is reported to the utility companies multiple times a minute.  With the constant pinging and numerous data transmissions in a minute, you are exposed to Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation and ElectroMagnetic Frequency (EMF) Radiation CONSTANTLY!

Now, add your neighbors into this picture.  Each house around you has or will have a Smart Meter that will be pinging and transmitting almost constantly 24/7/365.  Your Smart Meter and your neighbors’ Smart Meter transmissions now create what is referred to as Harmonics.  When multiple devices are transmitting near each other, their transmission frequencies intertwine, creating new frequencies.  These new, unknown frequencies, are just as harmful, if not more harmful, as the single, original frequency.

On May 31, 2011, the International Agency for Cancer Research / World Health Organization (IACR/WHO) issued a Press Release announcing the classification of radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans.  According to various research thus far (I am happy to provide you with the thousands of pages of research I have compiled), the radio frequency radiation, as emitted by Smart Meters, may cause adverse effects to the nervous system, various psychological malfunctions, psychological disorders, behavioral changes, biochemical changes, metabolic disorders, as well as gastrointestinal disorders.  Some people are or become electrically hypersensitive.  Remember, the human body is based on electrical design. Our nervous system is composed of two parts: the central nervous system, which is the control center comprising of the brain and the spinal cord; and the peripheral nervous system, which consists of nerves connecting other parts of the body to the control center.  Via a combination of electrical and chemical processes, the nervous system is used to control the functioning of the entire human body.

With research constantly evolving, how can we definitively say today that exposure to radio frequency radiation has no impact on our electrically charged bodies?  If the Smart Meter can disrupt current technology, such as wireless internet, baby monitors, or implanted diabetes pumps, implanted pain pumps, or Parkinson’s devices, how can it not impact our bodies?!  And what about those with metal implants, such as spinal fusions, dental implants, braces, etc.?  These metal implants in our bodies may concentrate absorption of radiation at the location of the implant, causing thermal effects or worse yet, malfunctioning, which may be fatal.

I ask that you consider these health risks and constantly evolving research. Even if you may not believe these risks apply to you, there are those of us who are adversely affected by RF and EMF radiation.  We are supposed to count on our homes being our sanctuaries, the one place we can go and feel safe and secure.  But how can we feel safe and secure when our homes are being invaded?  We should have the ability to choose if we want Smart Meters and can handle living with the RF and EMF radiation that the Smart Meters put out. 

Let us not forget Arkansas Code 5-2-620.  Use of force to defend persons and property within home:

(a) The right of an individual to defend himself or herself and the life of a person or property in the individuals home against harm, injury, or loss by a person unlawfully entering or attempting to enter or intrude into the home is reaffirmed as a fundamental right to be preserved and promoted as a public policy in this state.

Arkansas already recognizes that we have the right to defend our person or property.  Let us continue enforcing this right by allowing the homeowner to decide if they wish to have a Smart Meter or opt-out.  It is not the right of utility companies to decide what we do with our homes, our property, and our bodies;  it is our individual right to make those decisions!  We depend on this legislative body to protect and keep us safe as citizens of this great State!

God Bless America!
