Dear Jay Allen Sanford, Thank you for your astute remarks. This is indeed a very important case for many San Diegans. That is why Dave Good interviewed me about it and the Reader published the story. It is a very important case for all people everywhere in the world, because everyone's health and safety hangs in the balance. The Smart Grid seriously injured me, and I recovered by removing myself from it. When I am re-exposed it, I suffer similar injuries again. These facts are indisputable. The Smart Grid was installed in violation of over 20 federal statutes and over 20 state statutes. People can read more about the legal issues in my 49-page Verified Complaint. http://www.scribd.com/doc/117537105/COONEY-VS-THE…— July 9, 2013 1:14 p.m.

Dear qpodad, Thank you for your avid interest in this issue. Perhaps you should read the 49-page Verified Complaint before commenting. That way you will be able to add something more thoughtful and meaningful to the conversation. I have cited the research of 50-100 doctors, some board-certified medical doctors, and others scientific research doctors. The case relies on their findings, not on my personal understanding of radio frequencies and human health. The Complaint does not allege any sudden illness, as you have erroneously concluded. The facts of the case are supported by evidence showing that I was repeatedly injured by radiation over the one-year time span between the date the Smart Meters were installed on my home (July 2010) and the date that I was forced to leave my home to recover from the ongoing radiation injuries (August 2011). The injuries were caused not only by the Smart Meters on my home, but also by the Smart Grid equipment around my home, including a bank of over 100 Smart Meters on the apartment building in back of my home.— July 9, 2013 12:52 p.m.

Dear Dave, Thank you for publishing something about this very important health issue. Whether or not I am "convinced" that Smart Meters are causing harm is not important. The important issue is whether or not Smart Meters are actually causing harm. A responsible journalist would investigate that a bit further. The investigation would begin with reading the scientific evidence proffered in the Verified Complaint. In any case, there are some errors that should be corrected: 1. You falsely state "Cooney's symptoms persisted..." This is categorically untrue. I am in perfect health, as I clearly stated in the interview. When I am not exposed to radiation, I feel great. When I am exposed to radiation, I can feel the radiation around me and I suffer re-injury. I use natural healing methods to maintain my health. In natural healing practice, we first determine the cause of the disease, injury, or imbalance, and then remove the cause. I successfully employed this practice when I healed myself from heart attack, stroke, and other symptoms caused by radiation injury, by removing the cause, or in this case, removing myself from the harmful radiation. 2. My boyfriend has not completely recovered, although he is feeling better now that the Smart Meter has been replaced with a safe analog meter. He is still under treatment for a heart condition, which did not exist before the Smart Grid installation. 3. The National Radio Quiet Zone is a 13,000 mile area around Green Bank, West Virginia, mandated by an Act of Congress and enforced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Green Bank is also protected by a WV state law covering a 10-mile radius around the Green Bank Radio Telescope. 4. I did not move to Virginia. I did not move to West Virginia. I still live in San Diego. I stayed in WV for a while to reduce my radiation exposure. I recovered immediately, proving that my injuries were indeed caused by radiation. 5. The Greenbrier is not a local club and it is not that close to Green Bank (about 60 miles). The Greenbrier is a large, historic, luxury resort that hosts the Greenbrier Classic, a national PGA golf tournament with Tiger Woods competing, and Kenny Chesney and Aerosmith performing. http://www.greenbrier.com/Top-Navigation-Pages/Ab… 6. The lawsuit calls for an injunction against the California Smart Grid. I have standing to ask for this as a resident of California. After the Court grants the injunction, the Smart Grids in other states will be legally challenged under some of the same federal laws that apply to my case. The Federal Courts will have to order them to be dismantled as well, under the same legal theories, although residents of other states may have to file separate legal actions to accomplish this. 7. The damages will be reduced from $120 million to $20 million by the Court granting the injunction. Thanks, Deborah Cooney— July 9, 2013 12:32 p.m.
