Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I am forwarding this from the americanassociationforcellphonesafetygooglegroups list. If you know of anyone near Oregon, please get them involved to help. Thank you! <contact@...> Apr 07 01:08PM -0700 ^ Dear Friends, If you are receiving this email it is ether because you are a doctor, scientist, electrical engineer or advocate/activist on the issue of EMR and health effects. I am incredibly rushed right now so I apologize. We were just given notice that hearings for the bill will be this Mon., April 11th. There has been an incredible amount of politics behind the scenes in Oregon on this bill. Rather than spend yours and my time going into all that right now, we need to focus on what we can do to pull this out of the water. Because we have been given no advance notice, we are unable to book ANY of our expert witnesses that we were going to have come testify. To say this is extremely upsetting and a handicap would be an understatement. However, we are still gong to see what we can do about getting the bill passed. If it would be possible for you to write a letter of testimony in favor of the bill and send it to Senator Chip Shields office and copy the following members of the committee, that would be extremely helpful... This is Senator Shields email... sen.chipshields@... This is the rest of the committee... sen.larrygeorge@... sen.suzannebonamici@... sen.brianboquist@... sen.rodmonroe@... In case you were wondering, yes we did have the majority vote at the Health Committee. The bill was then moved from that committee and sent to another committee for a vote. It is now in the General Government, Consumer and Small Business Protection Committee...Don't get me started. Please if you are an MD or specialist on this issue, be sure to put your credentials or your place of work or your job title. If you are an advocate, you can put your website or any other relevant info. Also, the business perspective is hugely important in this state. I f you are a business man/woman, an entrepreneur who creates shielding devices, or works on the industry/product side of things, perhaps you could state why this would be good for business (it might create a new niche business for Oregonians who run manufacturing or retail companies in and could stimulate productivity with the creation of shielding devices, or whatever else you think of that could make money on this). Money is the issue of the day here in the US. Jobs are hard to come by and this bill being presented as a job creation bill could go a long ways with the Senate. In case you hadn't seen it, the language of the warning label reads as follows... WARNING: This is a radio-frequency (RF), radiation-emitting device that has nonthermal biological effects for which no safety guidelines have yet been established. Controversy exists as to whether these effects are harmful to humans. Exposure to RF radiation may be reduced by limiting your use of this device and keeping it away from the head and body. For ideas on what to say, just anything in your own words asking them to support the bill SB679 and give it a YES vote is fine. It does not have to be long. Thank you so much again for your help and support. We will keep you posted on things. PS, Please copy and past the addresses into your own email as opposed to just forwarding this email. Sincerely, Liz et al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
