It has been a while since I've sent anything out and
that is because I am completely up to my eyeballs in
trying to meet a deadline for the film I have been working
on, on this issue for the passed 4 years. So things have
fallen a bit to the wayside in favor of 100% focus on the
completion of this project. This means I have lately,
sadly, been unable to do as much on the EMF advocacy front
as I would like due to the deadline with the film, but I
hope to have it finished soon and it will indeed be a
fantastic tool to help us with all of our efforts on this
issue.
So just sending out a quick update in case you had not
heard or seen it yet, I have attached the SF cell phone
law which the mayor signed last week and has thankfully
DROPPED SAR COMPLETELY as has the state of CA, thanks to
the influence of other bills on this issue being brought
in other the states as well as the CTIA. Finally we agreed
on something!! :) Also special thanks to EWG
(Environmental Working Group) who initiated the bill in SF
and saw it through to fruition.
Here are the cliff notes from this ground breaking bill
that is not a warning label, but will give consumers
notification via a slip of paper which will contain...
1) A statement explaining that cell phones emit radio
frequency energy that is absorbed into the head and body.
2) A statement referencing measures to reduce exposure
to radio frequency energy from the use of a cell phone and
3) A statement that the informational fact sheet
referenced in subsection (b) is available from the cell
phone retailer upon request.
I have attached the ordinance for your review.
I have also attached for your review a protest The
Peoples Initiative Foundation has flied against the CPUC
for it's deployment of smart grid in CA.
And lastly, a new and very unique website is up and
running called electromagneticman,
It contains videos of personal stories
on EHS. A very informative and personal way to get the
info on this debilitating illness of the 21st century
out there. I highly recommend you checking it out.
The Pennsylvania bill, The Children's
Wireless Protection Act, calling for brain cancer
warning labels on cell phones will have a preliminary
hearing on Sept. 1st. It may then move to another
committee. I will keep you posted on that.
All for now.
