Forwarded from fairfieldsafemete...@gmail.com. Dear Fairfield Dear Fairfield Community, Attorney General Office Visit Was A Great Success. 60-70 Sidhas attended the visit of the Iowa Deputy Attorney General Nathan Blake and Fraud expert Al Perales, filling most of the seats in the Senior Center, with a number of people standing. It was exciting, and our gratitude to all of you who came - your presence was so important - a key message to both the Atty General office, and to KTVO and the FF Ledger, who both did stories. Important Announcement that took place at the event: Mayor Ed Malloy decided on the basis of the strong attendance, and the firm and strong statements made by many, to renew his efforts to negotiate with Alliant Energy to allow us to keep our analog meters. Alliant had given him no room on that previously, but the strength of your turn out inspired Ed to re-continue. So THANK YOU again for coming ! IT'S TIME TO ALL FILE COMPLAINTS ! The Iowa Utilities Board has an online complaint form. Please access that form (link is below), with your name, address, Alliant account number, etc. Within the dashed lines (below) is some sample text for you to place, in the online complaint form, in the "Description of Complaint" box at the end of the form. Please change this text any way that suits you, so that it reflects you, or you can just use it as it is. NOTE: the "Description of Complaint" box may seem to be tiny, but it will actually hold quite a bit of text, so you can copy and paste the Suggested Text (below) into the box. - - - - - - - - - - Begin Suggested Complaint Text - - - - - - - - - - 1. Alliant is attempting to force me to accept, use and pay for Smart Meter technology that I do not believe is safe for myself and family. 2. Alliant is refusing to acknowledge my rights as a consumer to choose the product that I trust and consider safe. I sent a Certified Mail Refusal Letter to Alliant Energy insisting that I be offered the right to keep my Analog meter. I was told that Alliant will disregard my letter. When I walked into the Alliant Open House they posted on Q & A, Q. Can I keep my Analog? A. NO. Then the phone call to Alliant they suggested we make, is an ‘Opt-In’ to whatever options they are deciding to offer, disregarding what we want. We were told we would have a contract to review and we have not been given one, we have nothing in writing. 3. Alliant's alternative technology, called the "Digital Meter" is also not acceptable to me as it causes Dirty Electricity which is a known health hazard. 4. Alliant Customer Service Representative told me on the phone that if I insist on keeping my Analog, I may end up with no Power at all which is life threatening in the Winter and unlawful, taking unfair advantage of their monopoly, and using unreasonable force. 5. Alliant has misrepresented the facts of the Smart Meter radiation and functioning details on their website. Measurements made on Alliant smart meters in Wisconsin show radiation several times a minute. Alliant is telling people that radiation is 6 times per day. 6. The meter they are installing has a history of starting fires. 7. I do not want to live in a town covered by EMF smog, a cloud of radiation. I am not willing to have radiation in my home and town around the clock with no ability to turn it off, escape from or obtain relief from its influence. 8. I am not interested in allowing the surveillance abilities of the Smart Meters to monitor any of the activities in my home. I do not want the usage of my appliances collected and sent to any other party, I consider this a violation of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. IN SUMMARY: I want to keep my Analog meter and not have to pay a fine or penalty initially or periodically thereafter for this arrangement. - - - - - - - - - - End Suggested Complaint Text - - - - - - - - - - Here is the online complaint form: https://iub.iowa.gov/complaint-form <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0011G_UcpxgD9RC-pnGqOSnoOjevl3bNkGrDsElOOZrGLeX5HeTUzIcwOhQve0yzlYfaLaf-QIy6VyHQhFvxrAR1SXSwb3tiSyE1lBfyZ0lsz_JAISxLi6txgUcHBPP_qpVwzfVqI4ImIJ0kJCdEuYu13TywZby_zOd&c=02tp4FAqYGXsXdNVIHtJCCA49cJlKAYYYLW0d5AqyED0qdCWhAPKlg==&ch=PJ6-q1VK0khwrQ7Le1_ZD3fMjAltQ3jq2gn0tjZbVaK31XsOWgA46w==>
