ACTION ITEMS - Please sign and
share ALL of these action alerts regarding the bad federal bills! We've added a new one, thanks to Leo Cashman:
- Americans for Responsible Technology's FDA Petition is still open for comments in FDA Docket
- https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/fda (below the fold, click on comment button)
- Include in your submission to the FDA docket: How would your life be different if the FDA had warned that wireless was potentially dangerous? Tell your story, or that of a friend/family member. Also, in the petition look for some suggested solutions we can provide to the FDA as to how they can comply with the law, educate on bio-harm and help keep citizens safer. Warnings are on cigarette labels, 60 years ago the Surgeon General was writing, even to children, about
the dangers of smoking. The same needs to be done re EMF’s. This is not limited to radiofrequencies.
- Deadline is November 24, 2023 deadline
- We are still collecting contributions for the National Call for Safe Technology website
expenses (which we're working on right now!). You can Send a check for supporting the website here:

- Email pictures to info@wiredbroadband.org and jennydemarco3@gmail.com
- We are now onto "Phase 2" of the National Call (to be developed)
- We had a good discussion about who could chair meetings in Odette’s absence; and asked for volunteers to create a team of rotating individuals who can attend the meetings/take minutes and write follow-ups, which can be overseen by Jenny.
- If you would like to volunteer for either position, please respond back and copy jennydemarco3@gmail.com to let us know!
- Odette suggested we start sharing our Facebook or social media pages on the National Call in order to support each other - here are the ones that were listed in the chat. Please share your page on the next National Call - we'd like to

- Children's Health Defense Update:
- EMR Coalition call the third Tuesday of every month at 3:30pm - includes some of the chapters from CHD and other national and international organizations
- Nicholas Martin UK:
- Have sent out two emails to counsel members from website email
addresses now - First one went out to 800 people; Second is focusing on ICNRP compliance
- Following the National Call's lead by organizing their zoom groups so they can do national strategy and get it implemented into the regions - setting up region groups right now
- Fires in Maui - A rep on the greater London authority went on
the news saying that Maui was a directed energy weapon attack. The UK broadcast this and it's being discussed openly! (More to come about Maui from Irene in a following email!)
- EMS Disability Committee Update:
- Susie M., Nancy V., Eva B. - Working on getting all the
evidence/info they can put into Odette's dropbox so that when she puts together submissions - resources can be pulled together quickly.
- Getting the stories of those who have been injured or died.
- Hoping to do updated version of ems disabled guidelines
- EMS disabled resources so those who are disabled know what they're rights are, how to do accommodation requests, support groups, how to reduce exposures, etc.
- Form ems disabled registry
- Create EMS awareness and safety training course - start with booklet then possibly video - for police, fire,
policymakers, etc.
- Good document for download showing all of the official recognition of disability from RF-EMF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-DOjIBedOoRaCZa941n4804eppkYDH-U/view
- EMS Disability Determinations Prove
- Federal Bills Discussion - There is a group meeting weekly on Thursdays and putting together action plans on all fronts, including
information to disseminate.
- Last count there are 92 telecom bills in the works now. 26 of them we need to oppose, 15 amend, 11 are fairly neutral, 25 we are still evaluating. 4 are ambiguous, 9 were put together into 3557
- Federal Bills Committee: will have fact sheets for bills to distribute including action items,
committee info, etc. Targeted approach to get to the individuals on these committees to see positions and reasons behind, motivation behind votes.
- Here are some of the bills:
- HR4141 - put in comments at Natural Resources Committee - this is one that scraps NEPA and historical review on federal land and other
places
- 3557 scraps NEPA and prohibits moratoria and has shot clocks - Townhall on the 16th - lawyers addressed these - 3557 would virtually eliminate local control because it's going to be impossible to review this many applications in the amount of time allotted.
- HR3293 establishes a strike force to compel wireless
comms on federal lands
- 4235 pilots the study to address wildfires using wireless facilities...(even though they may be causing these in the first place?!)
- One is a satellite bill - basically 3557 but about satellites - local control is scrapped
- HR1123 - to study cybersecurity vulnerabilities of mobile networks..however it expressly excludes 5G and the dept reviewing the cyber security risks is the NTIA (in the dept of commerce) which is heavily influenced by telecom industry. Now in the Senate commerce committee after passing the house unanimously.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS - Valerie P. shared:
- Another great book source on AI surveillance is 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism' by Shoshana Zuboff. In the book it is stated that 'smart' home devices are what the insurance companies call "behavioral underwriting".
- Has a malfunctioning "opt-out" meter - she asked for a written explanation as to why they need to swap out meter and wouldn't allow them to swap it out without
this explanation in writing. Is now drafting a letter inquiring as to why they will not explain this.
- Sheila R. asked:
- PUC deliberating on smart meters in RI - needs confirmation of Chattanooga of all smart meters all being
wired!
