Take Action: Send information to Senate Committee about hazards of 5G

Via Catherine Kleiber

I want to start by thanking those of you who contacted the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and members of the Sub-Committee on Communication, Technology and the Internet to ask that they place a moratorium on implementation of 5G and hold a hearing to receive testimony from scientists about the very real health and environmental hazard 5G and the IoT pose.  If you have not already contacted them, please take the time to do so.  

Please submit references and information about 5G to REED_COOK@COMMERCE.SENATE.GOV for the Committee to consider - the deadline is February 20, 2019 (Please do not contact Sen. Blumenthal's office separately unless you are a constituent.)  

There is no deadline for contacting the committee to request that they hold a hearing on the health and environmental consequences of 5G.  The more people they hear from until they hold hearings the better, so please ask others to call also.  

In addition to the committee phone numbers below, I have forwarded an email with good links to circulate on social media and Dafna's re-cap of the hearing.  Sen. Blumenthal needs our support, so be sure to call the Committee to ask for the hearings.  Others on the committee need to feel pressure to act.  The calls will help provide that.  **link to press release**

Recommend that the Committee contact Environmental Health Trust (www.EHTrust.org) for a list of scientists who should testify.  Phone contact information is below for the Senate Committee.

If your own lawmaker is on the committee, please also contact them directly and ask that they push for hearings on the health and environmental effects of 5G.

I just heard about a new book by Roger McNamee, a venture capitalist, called Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe  (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/598206/zucked-by-roger-mcnamee/9780525561354/).  It sounded very interesting.  It is all about the deep flaws in Facebook.  

Thank you for taking the time to contact the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and putting information out on social media!

Here are a couple of talking points for when you make the call to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation:

1) Experts are calling for wireless (radiofrequency/microwave) radiation to be classified as carcinogenic, a designation supported by epidemiological and double-blind studies.

2) Congress should not support universal exposure to a carcinogen that also causes adverse biological effects that are detrimental to human health and the environment.

3) 5G technology will dramatically increase exposure to wireless radiation due to the dramatic increase in connectivity and the need for numerous so called "small" cell towers.

4) 5G technology incorporates the addition of wireless radiation in a frequency range that the military uses as a weapon due to its detrimental effects.

5) 5G will vastly increase energy consumption.

Refer them to  www.EHTrust.org and www.Whatis5G.info for more information.  Ask that they contact the Environmental Health Trust to connect them to experts they should ask to testify on this issue.
