How to file an ADA claim against EWEB to keep your analog meter


You can file an ADA (Americans with Disability Act) claim based on your refusal to get a Smart Meter. You do not have to be on SSI disablity or receiving Food Stamps. You will simply need a letter from your health care provider, medical doctor, chiropractor, naturopath stating that for your health you are prescribed an analog meter. Here are some examples of letters

The three levels of disability insofar as medical doctor verification letters are concerned are:

    1. Those whose EMF condition has already been established .
    2. Those made sick or disabled from the installation of a device or facility .
    3. Those with pre-existing conditions (insomnia, neurological conditions, heart conditions or other), where the installation of a Smart Meter device is contraindicated for these conditions because they are exacerbated or result in an increased exposure to EMF radiation. The health care practitioner can say:
    my patient is severely limited by, substantially impaired by, can not perform basic life functions such as selt care, can not thrive with a Smart Meter....

Letter must include that exposure to EMF will:
substantially/significantly/severely impair/limit your (major life activities of) Seeing , Walking , Climbing , Standing , Lifting , Hearing , Speaking , Breathing , Thinking , Concentrating , Interacting with others , Self-care , Learning, (ability to survive); and therefore the needed accommodation is to (have no additional exposures, limit the exposures as much as possible and) retain the analog utility meter that has proven safe for patient's condition/health/ability to thrive (for number of years).

It is best for an MD to not use the word (my patient is) disabled unless there is a history of being accommodated for disability from EMF radiation. e.g. receiving food stamps, or other agency acknowledgment -- but instead to stay my patient is severely limited by, substantially impaired by... etc. because disabled is more of a legal term (an attorney can use it), and the job of the doctor is to explain how EMF radiation impairs you, give prognosis, history, prescription, etc. The prescription would be my patient must have an analog meter.

Second, for those who have pre-existing or past conditions, an MD letter might say my patient's condition is aggravated by exposure to EMF radiation ...which will come out of remission/... be exacerbated by/...become life threatening/... inhibit major life activities of... if s/he is exposed to any additional EMF Radiation. Another hint for your own request might be to compare yourself to everyone else most people can live with a high amount of EMF radiation for their whole lives, but for me, I am hurt by a one minute exposure of the smallest amount of EMF radiation, such as 20 feet from a radiating meter.

This speaks to EWEB saying that the opt-out policy they have of turning off the data transmission is sufficient for any ADA type claim. Note EWEB does not have the authority to override your health care practioners prescription of an analog meter for you. They are not your health care practitioner. They can not make this judgement .

As you would not give a diabetic sugar , you would not give a person who is strongly affected by EMF radiation a smart meter. The only safe meter is an analog meter.

For your reference, here is a document from Mary Bauer, an Electronic Engineer about how Smart Meters differ from Analog Meters.

What to do if you are threatened with Power Disconnection

Disconnecting utilities from the homes of disabled people is illegal under the Fair Housing Act
( handicap means disability, and disability means medical condition that impairs one or more major life activities, including thinking, self care, interacting with others, sleeping, ability to survive).
