People's Will: Vote against 3G and TETRA in Sweden's national election 2006

See under:

According to an inquiry made by the Swedish Emergency Management Agency in
2004 regarding the third generation mobile wireless telephony, 3G (UMTS), a
great majority of the Swedish population lack an understanding about it's
technical merits and why it was introduced in the marketplace. As much as 27
percent is greatly concerned about it's impact on the public health. Almost
1 of every 2 citizens, 47 percent, think the 3G (UMTS) infrastructure should
not have been deployed unless it could be proved with 100 percent certainty
that it had no negative impact on the public health. According to the same
inquiry, 48 percent of the Swedish population are convinced that there is an
indisputable health risk when using mobile telephony. Only 13 percent
believe there are no negative health impact at all. All this according to an
inquiry made by a Swedish government agency. Despite the fact that a
majority of the Swedish newspapers is more or less silent about the fact
that an extensive amount of research is showing that wireless microwave
telecommunication can inflict a major health risk to the general population,
and that Swedish government agencies is claiming the opposite, large groups
of the Swedish population is convinced that the health risk really exist.
Neither the government, the parliament, nor the public authorities in Sweden
seem to care about this strong public opinion. Unfortunately, neither do the
established political parties. The expansion of the wireless mobile
telephony and other wireless technologies like TETRA etc, is allowed to
continue in a furious pace. TETRA, which is a wireless communication network
planned to be deployed by the Swedish police force, among others, is already
strongly criticized in Great Britain because of health problems among
officers that use the mobile communication devices and citizens living near
the telecommunication masts. In short, a strong economical interest have
been given priority over human health.

This is the background to the People's Will initiative in Sweden to form a
single issue political party to let all of those who are unable to get
attention in the established political parties about this fundamental issue.
People's Will want to be the political alternative for people who value
their fundamental human rights, life and health higher than all other
things. In the beginning of January 2006 an election manifest will be
published on the homepage of People's Will, and in the end of February 2006
People's Will) will be registered as a political party to be participating
in the national election later the same year.

Politicians and authorities as well as the judicial system has clearly shown
that it can not be relied upon to adhere demands from a substantial amount
of citizens to stop the expansion of new wireless communication networks
until an fully independent risk assessment has been done regarding its
health effects on the general population. While all other initiatives in the
past have been fruitless to get attention to, and an understanding about,
the people's will in this matter, the only thing that can still be done by
each and every individual citizen is to execute the power of vote in the
national election in 2006. People's Will CAN make a change!

People's Will demand a full stop of further expansion of all wireless
microwave-based communication networks.

People's Will will do whatever it can to put an end to further expansion of
3G (UMTS) and TETRA until a fully independent investigation has been made.
It will thoroughly evaluate and establish new levels of radiation from
microwave transmitting technologies that is acceptable in the long term with
no negative effects on humans and it's environment. Skeptical as well as
highly qualified researchers and experts will be allowed to participate.

People's Will is protesting against elected politicians contempt of
fundamental democratic rights and is determined to give as much attention as
possible on the most pressing and important issues concerning public health,
the right to a healthy life, and the right to not be exposed by something
that is a health risk.

People's Will also want to work for a more direct democratic society where
authorities and electorates on a regular basis are reviewed and reminded of
their commission; to serve in the name of the people ? not heavy financial
interests and corporations.

People's Will demand that a new and more restrictive limit for wireless
microwave communication radiation is established as soon as possible. The
currently established limits apparently fail to protect humans and it's
environment against harmful effects of long term continuous exposure of
microwave radiation. The overall target should be a society that work for
the good of the people and a democratic society in it's truer sense.

People's Will wants to give attention to people's concern about the health
issues with 3G (UMTS) and TETRA etc. We don't want a continued expansion of
wireless communication networks unless in can be established that the
radiation is not causing any health issues among the population.

Let this appeal from People's Will travel from mouth to mouth. Give the
address of this Internet page to at least 10 people you know and urge them
to pass on the message to people they know.
