Please sign the below petition to remove WIFI from our schools and all public facilities.

In the wake of the WHO/IARC classification of electromagnetic fields as a Class 2 B Carcinogen, meaning 'can cause cancer in humans', we are moving as fast as we can to ban and mitigate this carcinogenic technology and infrastructure and part of that is raising awareness amongst the general public and putting our legislators on notice for future actions to come.

In addition to cancer, this type of radiation can also cause heart arrythmia, birth defects, sterility and other illnesses. The general public have been misled and it is our children who are paying the highest price for our lack of education on this issue.

This petition sums up the effects WIFI can have and why we want it out of our schools and other areas utilized by the public. Please sign it, post it on your FB and circulate as widely as possible.

Also, we are a 501c3, non profit, charitable organization. These petitions do cost us money since they are so nicely individualized and targeted to our specific representatives and therfore come at a premium. We also have basic operational costs. Any and all contributions towards this and our other educational and legislative campaigns are greatly appreciated.

http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5836/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=7456

PS. If you live in another country perhaps you can take the legal cases out of the petition, adopt it for your country and representatives and pass it around for sigs in your own country. Every action around the world on this issue goes a long ways to help us all.

Jerry Turner: An earful about our cell phones

Fosters Daily Democrat

That cell phones emit radio frequencies that can mess with our brain cells. As in giving us cancer. The more we talk on them, the closer we hold them to our head, the more risk.

She said the last 10 years there has been a dramatic decline in students' one-on-one communication skills, which she attributes to technology. At her school in southern Maine they ve even added interpersonal communication role-playing to the curriculum so they aren t graduating Neanderthals who can type really fast on tiny keys but only grunt in a job interview.

Mobile phones cause 'five-fold increase in brain cancer risk'

By Stephen Adams, Medical Correspondent

30 Jun 2011

People who started using mobile as teenagers and have been doing so for more than a decade are at a five-fold risk of developing a common type of brain cancer, new evidence indicates...

Swerdlow is the head of the Epidemiology standing committee of the ICNIRP, I think Ahlbom was the former head. Ahlbom is not in this committee anymore but he is 'only' a consultant expert to the ICNIRP http://www.icnirp.org . So Mona Nilsson brought a new order with a chain reaction. In Swerdlow s area of expertise are studies 'investigating the aetiology of specific malignancies and several investigating the long-term risks of cancer in people who have had particular diseases and/or received potentially carcinogenic treatments.'

Evidence 'increasingly against' phone cancer risk

Subject: Swerdlow conflict of interests statement

Editor,

The following is evidence of conflict of interest by A. J. Swerdlow, the man you quoted extensively saying microwaves/cell phones are safe based on ICNIRP guidelines.

In the interest of fair journalism, it is incumbent upon you to: 1) correct your earlier error, and 2) to cite Thomas Crosbie Holdings' interests in digital communications.

What is your understanding of the reliability of Swerdlow s coments?

This is our second e-mail to you regarding this matter.

I have written an article titled 'Cell Phone Brain Tumors/Cigarette Industry and You'.The International Commission Can t Say if there is a Link, by Greenall on the Allvoices net mag. http://www.allvoices.com . In the article I point out how there could be simple experiments to demonstrate how brain tumours could be caused under controlled conditons.You may find it useful. If you do could you ask people to respond by using the official White House website and email Pres. Obama and ask him to respond to the issues raised on the website http://www.cancerfraudbadbiotech.com. I have taken a severe pounding by my stand for honesty in reseach and would appreciate any help possible.I believe my small request should not hurt anyone.
