May 31, 2012 Chicago
| Join NSMA on May 31, 2012, at 9:30 am, in Courtroom 1403 (Judge Chang), Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse, 219 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL.
Federal Judge Chang will hear arguments from NSMA Attorney Doug Ibendahl and the City of Naperville's attorney.
NSMA filed a motion requesting that, as this lawsuit moves forward, home and business owners can request to opt-out and retain their analog meter until a final ruling is made by the judge. Further, the motion requests that the judge order the City to re-install an analog meter to a home or business upon request.
View the Judge's order here.

Council Gives Nod to No Cost Opt Out for Smart Meters, Not in Naperville
| With so much uncertainty, Councilor Dennis Slattery said it's better to ere on the side of caution and let residents make their own decisions about whether they want smart meters.
"I believe prudence is a good idea and we are a health-conscious community," Slattery said.
The city is no longer actively pursuing the installation of smart meters because of community concerns.
See full story here.
This city council made a decision based on the concerns of dozens of residents and the increasing public push back across the nation.
Hundreds of Naperville residents have expressed concerns and refused the meters, yet the city council and public utility refuse to be reasonable.
Is this the kind of local government you want to represent Naperville residents?
Speak up Naperville!
Refuse a smart meter on your home!
Hundreds of residents have said NO!

Federal Lawsuit Status Update
| On April 19, Judge Chang began proceedings to rule on the motion for injunction to halt the forced installation of smart meters on Naperville residents until reasonable options are afforded them.
The outcome of the preliminary hearing was as expected. Despite the city's attempt to spin this as a victory, the judge adhered to the rules of proceedings. The hearing was a briefing schedule and nothing more.
The next hearing is scheduled for May 31, 2012.

This is no longer about smart meters.
This is about protecting your personal property.
This is about protecting your constitutional rights.
You are protected under the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendment and the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
This is a utility policy that is being marketed as a mandated project. It is an opt in program.

It is your home!
You have the right to protect your property from something that may harm you!

| More that you can do
| Many residents do not want a smart meter installed on their home. They want the choice and according to the U.S. Constitution and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, we have that right. The city has denied its residents the choice.
According to the city you will have opportunities to refuse the wireless smart meter, but you must sign up for the non-wireless alternative and pay the monthly penalty fee to protect your home and family. If after the 3rd attempt to install a meter on your home, and you have not signed up for the alternative, the city says it will bring a police escort to your home to intimidate you into allowing the installation of the wireless smart meter.
We feel this is outrageous. There must be something serious wrongly with smart meters if the city has to threaten you to install one.

| | | Naperville Smart Meter Awareness is a non-profit 501(c)4 group of concerned citizens educating the public about the risks of wireless smart meters. We are comprised of lawyers, technology professionals, health advocates, accountants, business owners and parents in our community.
Smart meters are currently being installed in Naperville despite a complaint for federal injunction and on-going investigations by the Illinois Attorney General for Open Meetings Act violations by the City of Naperville in conjunction with this project.
Smart meters pose risks in the areas of privacy, costs, security, and health and are not a federally mandated program. Our mission is to educate the residents of Naperville by bringing all pertinent information to the public and in doing so, advocate for a smarter solution in Naperville.
