   Hello All,

   I made an appointment just now...

   If you're having trouble viewing this email, you may see it online.

   Share This:

   For Distribution:

   Topic – Possibility of revising the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
   Regulations to address accessibility for the disabled to wireless technology
   and services.

   Take Action - Call 1-800-514-0301 to register to make oral comment at the
   United States Department of Justice (DOJ) ADA Hearing on January 10, 2011.
   Call as soon as possible as they encourage you to call 5 days in advance
   whether you intend to comment in person or by phone. Comment yourself and
   forward this information to folks you know with Implanted Medical Devices or
   who experience hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields.

   ALTERNATIVE:

   Take Action - Submit written comment to the United States Department of
   Justice (DOJ) by January 24, 2011. Submit comment yourself or forward this
   information to folks you know with Implanted Medical Devices or who
   experience hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields.

   TAKE ACTION

   Tell the DOJ in CRT Docket No. 110 (also RIN 1190-AA61) - related to web
   access - or in CRT Docket No. 113 (also RIN 1190-AA64) - related to
   equipment and furniture - how increasing wireless electromagnetic radiation
   has made and will make it more difficult for you to work, access services of
   State and Local Governments, and/or public accommodations by causing a
   disabling functional impairment for you or by rendering treatments for your
   disability ineffective due to electromagnetic interference.

   The DOJ Dockets address hearing, speech and vision disabilities. Your
   input is needed so that the DOJ includes the functional impairment brought
   on by environmental exposure to wireless devices in this proceeding.

   WHY?

   Unless we educate our government about the disabling functional
   impairment wireless communication can cause for those with radiofrequency
   sickness and medical implants, it may assume that making all libraries,
   public buildings, public spaces, shopping malls, hotels, motels,
   transportation services, etc., wireless will help all disabled Americans.
   The Disability Rights section of the DOJ is updating its rules for the ADA.
   It is studying how to help people who are disabled gain access to Web
   information, and to Services of State and Local Government Entities, and
   Public Accommodations that use wireless technology. It seeks input on how
   its rules on equipment and furniture need to be updated to improve
   accessibility for the disabled. See *** below for points to include.

   HOW?

   Call 1-800-514-0301 to register to comment orally at the United States
   Department of Justice (DOJ) ADA Hearing on January 10, 2011.

   Each speaker is allotted five minutes. You will be phoned ahead of your
   appointed time by DOJ staff.

   Additional information about the public hearing can be found at
   http://www.ada.gov/anprm2010/anprm_nov-jan_2010.htm

   The hearing is being held January 10, 2011,

   from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, PST,

   at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis,

   55 Fourth Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

   Please support your oral comment with a written comment which can be
   submitted as follows:

   Submit comments, identified by RIN 1190-AA61 (or Docket ID No. 110) and
   RIN

   1190-AA64 (or Docket ID No. 113), by any one of the following methods:

   Electronic: Link to the original docket related to websites and
   accessibility. Federal eRulemaking Web site: www.regulations.gov. Follow
   the Web site's instructions for submitting comments. Direct link:

   ***Enough comments submitted on the topic of radiofrequency sickness as
   discussed below could have very positive results. Please read and
   participate.

   While access to the internet has tremendous potential value for people
   with disabilities, the Department of Justice needs to recognize that
   wireless technology emitting microwave radiation in workplaces, public
   buildings, places of public accommodation (government buildings, hospitals,
   doctor's offices, schools, airports, airplanes, buses, trains, restaurants,
   shopping malls, museums, etc), transportation, and other areas of American
   life is seriously limiting the ability of a growing segment of the American
   population to participate in civil society and community life.

   The DOJ Dockets address hearing, speech and vision disabilities. Your
   input is needed so that the DOJ includes the functional impairment brought
   on by environmental exposure to wireless devices in this proceeding.

   The microwave radiation from wireless technology causes serious
   functional impairment to many whose symptoms have been characterized under
   the name radiofrequency sickness. The symptoms can range from discomfort to
   life-threatening depending on the exposure and the individual involved.
   Please see “Provocation Study using Heart Rate Variability Shows Radiation
   from 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone Affects Autonomic Nervous System” (Eur. J.
   Oncol. Library, vol. 5) at
   http://electromagnetichealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Havas_HRV_Ramazzini1.pdfto
read about how potentially serious the effects can be on the heart.

   The ADA Dockets ask a number of questions related specifically to
   different aspects of website and physical accessibility. At the end of the
   Docket 110 - related to internet access – is the question: " Are there
   additional issues or information not addressed by the Department's questions
   that are important for the Department to consider?” Please provide as much
   detail as possible in your response."

   Docket 113 relates to furniture and equipment. WiFi deployed in a
   building, wireless inventory systems or communications systems, etc., would
   all constitute problematic furniture and equipment.

   Please submit your testimony under both dockets.

   Below are some points to consider and incorporate in your comments.
   Please be sure to personalize your comment with examples from your
   experience. You do not need to worry about providing a comprehensive summary
   of the science. The EMR Policy Institute will cover that in its comment.

   Points:

   DOJ should issue a supplemental NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) to
   explicitly address radiofrequency sickness and related
   environmentally-induced functional impairments. Accommodations for
   disabilities in hearing, speech and vision do not address all disability
   issues for emerging electronic technologies.

   Radiofrequency Sickness, a functional impairment which is caused by
   exposure to transmitted radiofrequency radiation and electrical pollution,
   needs to be clearly addressed by the DOJ in the rules governing Title I,
   Title II and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

   ADA rules need to explicitly reflect the very serious nature of
   radiofrequency sickness and require that workplaces, public places and
   places of public accommodation provide internet access on wires or fiber
   optic cables only. (List examples of places you are excluded from due to
   your environmentally-induced functional impairment.)

   ADA rules also need to explicitly require utility companies to exempt
   persons with radiofrequency sickness from installation of transmitting
   utility meters at their homes and neighboring homes. Persons with relatives
   with radiofrequency sickness should be able to request this accommodation as
   well so that sufferers is able to visit and are not excluded from family
   life due to transmitting meters.

   Additional actions the DOJ should consider:

   The preemption of state and local authority over emissions from Personal
   Wireless Services Facilities found in Section 704 of the 1996
   Telecommunications Act is an unreasonable restriction of the right to free
   speech and to redress of grievances and should be repealed.

   Persons with radiofrequency sickness need an entity where they can file
   complaints and that can and will take action on their behalf. Thus far, the
   Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and FCC have refused to fulfill
   these roles.

   Radiofrequency radiation exposures increase risk of disease among the
   whole population and in the natural world. True safety regulations need to
   be enacted to protect the health of the public (including babies, children,
   pregnant women, the ill, persons with Implanted Medical Devices) and the
   environment during real-life daily exposures experienced from multiple
   real-life sources of wireless technology and electrically-polluting devices
   (see www.electricalpollution.com for more information). The EPA's efforts
   to do this were halted in the 1990s. It time for the EPA to complete this
   work. Under the current inadequate guidelines the number of people who are
   succumbing to radiofrequency sickness is rising daily.

   There should be a nationwide moratorium on additional antennas and
   additional wireless devices until true safety regulations are in place.

   Please try to make as many of these points as possible in the context of
   your personal experience. It is essential that a significant number of
   people file comments. We need numbers or we will be ignored so please pass
   this on to other affected individuals. The Department of Justice does have a
   history of listening where other agencies have not. Do help us and help
   yourself by filing a comment.

   If you are concerned about having personally-identifying information
   posted on the internet, please read the instructions in the dockets below
   for instructions on how to avoid that when filing your comment.

   Hi all...
   The good news from here in Maine is the PUC ruled to open an
   investigation into the technical and economic feasibility of allowing smart
   meter opt-outs. They are going to in vestigate whether central Maine Power's
   position on not allowing opt-outs is "unreasonable" (duh ;) )

   It was really good news, because CMP had wanted them to toss out our
   complaint. The other piece of good news was that the PUC acknowledged the
   studies on BOTH sides of the RF issue, and the uncertainty, even though
   Commissioners said they were not taking up the health issue, just the choice
   issue.

   So moving forward, clearly CMP will bring out its hired guns to show why
   opt-outs would throw the entire system in to disarray, render it inoperable,
   and would jeapordize the entire federal grant from the Department of Energy,
   etc...

   So... does anyone know of any experts who could say otherwise? Who could
   show how opt-outs are reasonable and feasible both economically and
   technically?

   Thank you so much!
   And thanks for all your good energy... it really helped us today!

   Wow!!! Fantastic Elisa!! The choice issue os the way to go!! That is what
   we are doing with cell phones and also should be what we do with cell
   towers. There is no freedom of choice whatsoever. In the paper I recently
   sent out in the legal section, this could be a constitutional infringement
   on our rights if they take away our right to choose. You should call Cindy
   Sage and see if she has anything she can offer regarding the info you need.
   I will also make a call to an attorney I know. Very awesome.

   Some more awesome news...we have been making calls today to get people to
   co-sponsor the warning label in Oregon...I think it's a done deal on the
   Health Committee, where the bill will most likely be heard. We may have the
   majority we need to get it out of committee!!! I will know for sure very
   soon, but it looks like we have as either sponsors or co-sponsor, the
   majority of the committee!!! That is one hurdle...now we just need the
   majority of the senate and then the house...(uy givolt!!) ;) LOL it's only
   43 votes total...It is do-able. I am probably going to Oregon next week to
   help David lobby.

   I will let you know what the attorney says. Awesome work Elisa!!!

   xo, Liz

   Again, the principal question is why are we investing in wireless when
   the goal is underground fiber optics for all services
   to all residences and all businesses because it is many times faster,
   more secure, and far safer. That's our mantra, and when
   they cry about "expense", remind of the potential medical costs as
   consequences, the lawsuits, and the funding that could be
   redirected away from the defense budget to hire retired military who are
   currently unemployed......the defense budget this year
   is $719 Billion, or almost $2 Billion a DAY (not week). What are
   taxpayers receiving for that spending, as opposed to having the
   best telecommunications system in the world to attract business and
   create jobs, as well as creating jobs to create the system itself
   .....fight fire with fire.........

   Best of luck, and no need now for experts, just some LONG RANGE (not
   quick profit) planning!!!!!

   Jim,

   This is a terrific article, and particularly the one line, as I am always
   looking for bullets, declaring that, to paraphrase, vendors should no longer
   drive the process of public safety. The other HUGE item that is coming on
   to the horizon, for everyone to consider, is why are the certified
   electricians denied the opportunity to hard wire infrastructure and
   buildings, or at least bid the process for evaluation of cost, if there is
   any question that wireless is unsafe? We are talking BILLIONS in business
   for the electricians, so given the virtual extinction of the new home
   business nationwide, the local electrical unions might be VERY willing to
   help us campaign for WIRED, not WIRELESS!

   It is true underground is also better for Home Land Security since
   wireless fails easier in emergencies; a stronger argument to follow the
   models of others [Ref: Wireless Failures of NY on 9/11/01]

   http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/07/business/07rescue.html

   There should be an agreement between HLS and EPA and FCC that at all
   times; underground is preferred.

   Liz,



   With all the "electrosmog" you are already enduring in Santa Monica,
   etc., do whatever you can to get Shriver on board to block SMART METERS.
   Again, it is a MINIMUM of 5,700 emissions per day, not counting the "meshing
   effect", which may take each meter well over 10,000 emissions per day, and
   then, for you, in an apartment complex, the density of emissions from such a
   density of meters would simply be intolerable.



   The letter is what we came up with for an introduction to the issue. The
   major, major point in such a huge urban area such as yours, with 20 million
   people, is why bother with ANY electronic meters when it is far more cost
   effective and economically advantageous to install underground fiber optic
   Broadband, just as they are doing in Japan, Germany and so forth. It is much
   faster and more secure, as well as being so much safer for human exposure.



   Best of luck,



   John

   Thanks Kiku. I hope people can use it. And actually, I need to block
   smart meters here in SM. I have approached the County of LA abut warning
   labels on cell phones but this thing near my apartment is starting to take
   precedent. Smart meters haven't been installed yet. There is a political
   issue on my local Santa Monica council...we have an AT@T attorney on it.
   I spoke with Bobby Shriver who was interested in the warning label bill but
   I think he got some bounce back on that from the council. Anyway, will keep
   you guys posted and may reach out to you for some help with the smart
   meters/antenna tower stuff...I have no idea where this new antenna is. They
   never notified anyone. They just installed it. It is really powerful too. :(

   Dearest Peeps,

   Please delete the last email I sent you and use this one for the link
   to the Non-Thermal paper!! It had some typos which Andrew and a few
   others were kind enough to send me notes on. I made the corrections
   and have re-posted the paper, so the old link won't work but this new
   one will.


   http://www.americanassociationforcellphonesafety.org/uploads/Non_Thermal_Paper_10-10_AAA.pdf

   I am utterly thrilled with the response the paper has received thus
   far...4 new people wanting to bring the legislation to their local
   council or state and it's only one day after Christmas!!! I look
   forward to working with anyone of you's out there who would like to
   bring a warning label bill to your city, county or state. I also look
   forward to continuing our work at the federal level very soon and to
   boning up on my own "how to fight a cell tower" skills. I have
   recently been bombarded with some "new and improved" infrastructure
   and am writing you this email swathed in shielding!!! The radiation
   has gotten awfully dense where I am living. I think I may have to
   move. Don't mean to bum you out on Christmas. I am having a jolly
   time besides being irradiated. LOL But seriously, I have brought this
   bill to my local LA County Board of Supervisors and may be in touch
   with some of you about how to get some o these antennas out of here!!!

   I hope you all are having a Wonderful holiday. To our success on this
   issue in 2011 and to all of you who work so tirelessly to make change
   on this incredibly difficult situation. I know how hard it is...but
   we will ultimately prevail.

   It is usually the case that in American Economy there are drivers; 70's
   Telecom, 80's computers, 90's Internet and 10's [conveniently] HLS/War.
   It
   stands to reason the next "big ap" is replacement of infrastructure using
   Military/Industrial Technology to keep Wall Street and economy going.
   Regardless the cost of human health, etc. The WTO tried to clear the
   EIR's
   but failed. Where's the WTO EIR's for Wireless?



   Since American technology is driven by oligarchies, it then stands that
   "technical committees" drive government and regulations for the NEXT BIG
   APP! These tech committees are representatives of all stake holders and
   usually tilted toward the money which is the corporations [a duh]. This
   "insanity" is driving American Assets off the cliff so I appreciate all
   of
   your work on sustainability and human balance.



   Seems practical; underground? They've been doing it for years and who
   wouldn't want to connect to a cable at their seat to replace WiFi?



   Now that you all are bringing to attention "EMF Pollution" I think the
   "front line implementers" [aka technicians] are standing and drawing the

   This is a terrific article, and particularly the one line, as I am always
   looking for bullets, declaring that, to paraphrase, vendors should no
   longer

   drive the process of public safety. The other HUGE item that is coming on
   to the horizon, for everyone to consider, is why are the certified

   electricians denied the opportunity to hard wire infrastructure and

   Liz,



   With all the "electrosmog" you are already enduring in Santa Monica,
   etc.,
   do whatever you can to get Shriver on board to block SMART METERS. Again,
   it is a MINIMUM of 5,700 emissions per day, not counting the "meshing
   effect", which may take each meter well over 10,000 emissions per day,
   and
   then, for you, in an apartment complex, the density of emissions from
   such a
   density of meters would simply be intolerable.



   The letter is what we came up with for an introduction to the issue. The
   major, major point in such a huge urban area such as yours, with 20
   million
   people, is why bother with ANY electronic meters when it is far more cost
   effective and economically advantageous to install underground fiber
   optic
   Broadband, just as they are doing in Japan, Germany and so forth. It is
   much faster and more secure, as well as being so much safer for human
   exposure.



   Best of luck,



   John

   Thanks Kiku. I hope people can use it. And actually, I need to block
   smart
   meters here in SM. I have approached the County of LA abut warning labels
   on cell phones but this thing near my apartment is starting to take
   precedent. Smart meters haven't been installed yet. There is a political
   issue on my local Santa Monica council...we have an AT@T attorney on it.
   I
   spoke with Bobby Shriver who was interested in the warning label bill but
   I
   think he got some bounce back on that from the council. Anyway, will keep
   you guys posted and may reach out to you for some help with the smart
   meters/antenna tower stuff...I have no idea where this new antenna is.
   They
   never notified anyone. They just installed it. It is really powerful too.
   :(

   you are able to locate the source of the distress at your apartment. Have
   smart meters recently been installed?

   Dearest Peeps,

   Please delete the last email I sent you and use this one for the link
   to the Non-Thermal paper!! It had some typos which Andrew and a few
   others were kind enough to send me notes on. I made the corrections
   and have re-posted the paper, so the old link won't work but this new
   one will.

   er_10-10_AAA.pdf

   I am utterly thrilled with the response the paper has received thus
   far...4 new people wanting to bring the legislation to their local
   council or state and it's only one day after Christmas!!! I look
   forward to working with anyone of you's out there who would like to
   bring a warning label bill to your city, county or state. I also look
   forward to continuing our work at the federal level very soon and to
   boning up on my own "how to fight a cell tower" skills. I have
   recently been bombarded with some "new and improved" infrastructure
   and am writing you this email swathed in shielding!!! The radiation
   has gotten awfully dense where I am living. I think I may have to
   move. Don't mean to bum you out on Christmas. I am having a jolly
   time besides being irradiated. LOL But seriously, I have brought this
   bill to my local LA County Board of Supervisors and may be in touch
   with some of you about how to get some o these antennas out of here!!!

   I hope you all are having a Wonderful holiday. To our success on this
   issue in 2011 and to all of you who work so tirelessly to make change
   on this incredibly difficult situation. I know how hard it is...but
   we will ultimately prevail.

   It is usually the case that in American Economy there are drivers; 70's
   Telecom, 80's computers, 90's Internet and 10's [conveniently] HLS/War.
   It
   stands to reason the next "big ap" is replacement of infrastructure using
   Military/Industrial Technology to keep Wall Street and economy going.
   Regardless the cost of human health, etc. The WTO tried to clear the
   EIR's
   but failed. Where's the WTO EIR's for Wireless?



   Since American technology is driven by oligarchies, it then stands that
   "technical committees" drive government and regulations for the NEXT BIG
   APP! These tech committees are representatives of all stake holders and
   usually tilted toward the money which is the corporations [a duh]. This
   "insanity" is driving American Assets off the cliff so I appreciate all
   of
   your work on sustainability and human balance.



   Seems practical; underground? They've been doing it for years and who
   wouldn't want to connect to a cable at their seat to replace WiFi?



   Now that you all are bringing to attention "EMF Pollution" I think the
   "front line implementers" [aka technicians] are standing and drawing the
   line as they'd rather work on things sustainable and stop with the
   salesmen
   who take the engineers ideas and rename, embellish, etc. to sell a pig in
   a
   poke.



   I'm glad you appreciate it; the next thing is to keep legislation going
   as
   well Federal Legal Actions in order to "compile" the evidence according
   to
   Science so the Judges can see and act clearly.



   Good luck and thanks for your work.
