Fwd: Smart Meter protest argument...

Hi All:
This is a message from Martha and the questionnaire from Maredy. hanford4schoolboard@gmail.com
Please fill out the info below if you can attend.
As we know from studying Agenda 21 the only way they listen is economically.

As a thought:
Where is the 10 year study showing no harmful results on a test group?
Why are they implementing without one?
California just did a study on theirs and got disastrous results.

If the purpose of smart meters is to reduce electric costs why is FLP asking for a rate increase?

Why are the meters being manufactured in China? How do they know what is in the meter?
Why are Americans not getting these jobs?
China provided us with Chinese dry wall oops, poison pet food, oops, faulty strollers for our children, oops, counterfeit parts for our weapon system oops.What guarantee are they giving that there is not something in a Chinese meter?
When does doing something over and over expecting different results kick in?

Subject: Smart Meter protest argument...
(Folks: I am sending this out to everyone who's name I have collected from received emails about Smart Meters. You may not know me...Martha)


 Dear Fellow anti-Smart Meter activists:
> Coming up in three weeks, FPL is going to 'allow' us to present our arguments against the coming "Smart Meters" to their guard dog, the Florida Public Service Commission, an unelected body of "important" people.
> Some of you may, or may not, agree with my very cynical take on this event. I present as my own personal opinion, from my own personal experience, the following:
> This will be a losing proposition for all of us....
> ........unless we can hit the one small spot that exposes their jugular.
>
> FPL (Florida Plunder and Loot) is a government sanctioned monopoly (or do I repeat myself?)... which means the Florida Government itself is supporting them  .... also, all their investors,including the folks IN the Government, as of  NOW, have a guaranteed NET profit return on their investment of 11 1/2 percent  (better than gold ...) These are many, powerful, connected, influential people.  And we are what?... voters?    Wow.
>
> So with our hearts on our sleeves, and all the best intentions in the world, we make the trek to Tallahassee to speak in front of them to plead our case.... but we will be coming from a powerless position.
>
> We will complain that the Meters will be spying on us. They will yawn. What ISN'T lately? Thank You. NEXT.
>
> We will complain that the Meters may start fires. They will declare that more "safety" features will be added (perhaps local Code Enforcement will make certain that the Homeowner has his system updated) "Next".....
>
> We will complain that these devices are not UL approved. ("THEY" know it is not necessary, since these Meters are not for sale on the free market. UL approval is a costly, independent, third party seal of approval for consumer information...) NEXT...
>
> We will resort to declaring that we JUST DON'T WANT ONE! They will count us, and figure how many of us there are that they can extract a surcharge from. NEXT...
>
> Then there are folks like me, who concentrate on the detrimental Health effects. They tell me that FPL itself has LOTS and LOTS of studies of their own (yeah, great) to 'prove' otherwise..... I am then put on the defensive, with the burden of "proving" the contrary, as if I were a Public Health Official, which of course I am not, no matter how many pages of International EMF Studies, World Health Organization, Sage Report, Government of Sweden EMF studies, etc. I quote. I will never rise to 'expert witness' status, and they know it.
>
> You see... my point of view is that this a game of chess, and my contention is that we, as a substantial body, are still playing by 'their' rules by holding to these (very legitimate but) powerless arguments.
>
> My attack move is this: (in logical steps)
> 1) FPL is a monopoly, State approved. Therefore, there is no Free-Market competition allowed, especially one that would offer a non harmful alternative like Fiber Optics. Therefore, I am FORCED to get electricity from them, if I want electricity (without the unrealistic cost of personally going "off-grid".)
> (the validity of 'Contracts' could be talked about here, as a one-sided agreement is a questionable 'Contract'...)
>
> 2)The Mandate of the Public Service Commission, as stated on their website is: "To provide SAFE, Reasonable, and Reliable" public utility services....  SAFE, eh?  Are any of these PSC guard dogs prepared to guarantee the "safety" of these meters? ( Art Graham had a bit of a fit when I raised this point in Daytona... Maredy Hanford is my witness..)
> Are any of them prepared to take on the role of Public Health or Public Safety officials?  Do any of them have expertise in epidemiological studies, or are familiar with the commonly recognized public Precautionary Principle? NO.
>
> So, are they in a position to declare these Meters "safe"? Is the Florida Legislature, indirectly, able to stand behind their "safety"? No.
> So, according to the PSC Mandate, they have nothing other than FPL's word that the Meters are, in fact, "safe".
>
> 3) (see where I'm going  here?..) When cornered, Ms. Maggie Bisbal, an FPL Customer Advocate, ( contact her at 1-800-397-6544 ext 14) admitted that THERE IS NO ONE IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, up to the Governor, who is legally liable for any adverse health effects.
> This admission came when I took her side and phrased my question thus: 'Ok, so say all of FPL's  studies are true, and there ARE no ill effects, is there any one in a position who would be legally liable?'
> No, she said.
>
> 'They' are not prepared for this angle.  'They' are not at all prepared for an offensive questioning their legitimacy. 'They' are well prepared to counter every one of our arguments EXCEPT when we declare that we are no longer SERFS begging for fairness from the Great Lords. We DEMAND safety, and accountability. Up to the State level.
> In numbers, I believe this approach will work, because it's the only angle I see that scares them.
>
> In a competitive Free Market, customers have a choice.
> In a competitive Free Market, if a Company's product harms the public, the Company is liable for  damages. (or is soon out of business)
> If a Government sanctioned monopoly gives 'customers' no choice, and harms them...... what?.... tough luck?

Peninsula Tea Party Aug Meeting with Americans for Prosperity

Peninsula Tea Party invited you to "Peninsula Tea Party Aug Meeting with Americans for Prosperity " Tomorrow, August 29, 6:00 PM EDT Keagan's Restaurant Group, Jefferson Avenue, Newport News, VA Are you going?

8 people invited Peninsula Tea Party's August Meeting with Americans for Prosperity   Wednesday, August 29th @ 6pm   Keagan's Restaurant 12551 Jefferson Ave, Ste 201 Newport News, VA 23602   We need your help! We must hold our federal, state and local officials accountable. To do this, we must get to know our neighbors by discussing issues that are important to us.   The Peninsula Tea Party is partnering with Americans for Prosperity (AFP) to canvass neighborhoods. To do this, we must work together to protect individual rights.   Agenda 21 for Public Officials   ELECTION OFFICERS VOLUNTEERS   IT IS VITAL THAT WE INSURE FREE, FAIR, AND HONEST ELECTIONS THIS YEAR.   One way to make a difference is to become an Election Officer. They have a lot of authority and control of the election process. It's also a paid position. You must be a registered Virginia voter and attend a local election board training to be an Election Officer.   If you are interested in becoming an Election Officer, go to http://www.sbe.virginia.gov/officers and fill out the online Election Officer Interest form. You may also contact your local, county or City Electoral Board and fill out their Election Official Application. You must inform the local board whether you support the Democrat or Republican party.    POLL WATCHER   If you cannot be an Election Officer, consider being a Poll Watcher. Poll Watchers must be registered and a resident of Virginia. Poll Watchers must show a valid photo id. You will be considered as a representative of either the Democrat or Republican Party. The selected political party may vet to determine whether you will represent them as a poll watcher.   To become a poll watcher, go and submit the "Poll Watcher's Registration" on the Virginia Voters Alliance website, http://www.virginiavotersalliance.com. You will be contacted when the online training course is available.   Please recruit your friends and neighbors to volunteer.   WE NEED YOUR HELP IN THIS UNDERTAKING.  THE OPPOSITION WILL FILL ANY VOID THAT WE LEAVE EMPTY.  WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN OR WE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO LOSING THIS ELECTION.  THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS.   YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU.  VOLUNTEER TODAY.    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)   1. What does an election officer exactly do?   An election officer is a member of a bi-partisan team that has volunteered to run the election in the polling place.  The team is responsible for insuring an election that is operated in accordance with the election laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The team opens and closes the polling place. The team is also responsible for recording the Statement of Results for their precinct that is sent to the local board of elections.   2.What does a poll watcher do? A poll watcher is a representative designated by either the Democrat or Republican parties. In some situations the poll watcher can be inside the polling place at the request of an independent candidate. All poll watchers must present a certificate signed by a unit chair or independent candidate authorizing that person to be present in the polling place.   The poll watcher has two main duties. The first is to assist the party in their get out the vote activities usually using a list of anticipated party voters which is reported to precinct workers outside the polling place so the absent voters can be reminded to vote.   The second is to monitor the voting process to insure applicable laws are followed.  If the poll watcher sees something questionable they must report it directly to the Election Chief or Assistant Chief.  This is where voter fraud can be observed and reported.  The poll watcher training goes into more detail about these activities.   3. Are there both inside the poll and outside the poll tasks for poll watchers? Different volunteers, or the same? Outside volunteers are usually called outside poll workers and usually perform tasks requested by the party such as recruiting precinct volunteers and passing out sample ballots as voters enter the polling place. Outside workers must be outside the 40 foot no-electioneering zone.     Inside volunteers have the title of Poll Watchers and must present a certificate signed by the party to gain admittance to the polling place.
