The Bills
Thank you to those who signed up to provide spoken testimony for next Monday's hearing, and to those who have sent in a written statement. Building the public record empowers our legislators to act on our behalf.
Whether you are from Massachusetts or elsewhere, we would be very grateful if you would send in written testimony to the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure (CPPL) for two bills sponsored by Senator Julian Cyr:
- Resolve S. 186: Forms a commission to investigate the wireless radiation issue as New Hampshire has already done.
- S. 187: Puts point of sale notices in place to especially protect children from the radiation emitted by electronic devices.
Sample Testimony:
If you're comfortable, please also include us
so we can monitor submissions.

Dear Esteemed Legislators,
Thank you for advancing Senator Cyr's wireless radiation bills in prior legislative sessions.
Please do everything in your power to ensure these bills are passed this session as the cumulative harm is mounting from today's rapidly increasing levels of radiofrequency radiation.
The FCC was just sued in federal court for ignoring the science so we can no longer rely on their assurances of safety.
As taught by doctors at the international EMF Medical Conference 2021, the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of radiation pulsed by cell towers, 5G small cells and utility "smart meters" are leading causes of electromagnetic illnesses -- in addition to the radiation from our own
personal devices.
New Hampshire is the first legislature in the nation to do an independent investigation into the health and environmental impact of today's wireless technology. Their final commission report documents conflicts of interest between industry and our federal agencies, reveals
solid peer-reviewed science showing extensive harm, and recommends hard-wired technology in our communities and in our homes and schools.
Additionally, if we are serious about climate change, Massachusetts must transition away from wireless technology which consumes 10x more energy than the safer, sustainable solution of running signal through high speed cable, upgraded copper lines, or high speed
fiber-optics to and through the premises -- not through wireless smart meters on properties, small cells at the curb, or macro cell antennas encroaching into our neighborhoods.
A Greenpeace analyst examined wireless consumption, and noted if the wireless industry were a country, it would be the fifth largest consumer of energy in the world.
Engineers can readily develop safe, sustainable, energy-efficient technology but it is up to our legislatures to require it.
You have that opportunity in Senator Cyr's Resolve S. 186 and S. 187. Please pass these bills to form a commission to investigate the health and environmental impact of today's wireless technology, especially as it impacts our children and pollinators.
New Hampshire has already laid the groundwork, it's time for Massachusetts to ensure safe and sustainable technology through hard-wiring to and through the premises with no radiofrequency radiation transmitters.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
