Hearing for the CTIA- wireless association v. City S. Fr.
San Francisco Hearing
Please join us at the U.S. Court of Appeals hearing for the CTIA- wireless association v. City and County of San Francisco lawsuit which challenges our right to know about safe use of cell phones.
The hearing is at 9 am on August 9 at the James R. Browning Courthouse at 95 7th St. in San Francisco. Here is the link:
http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/c ... f08_12.pdf
The first hearing was in U.S. District court last October and was quite fascinating. It is complicated but SF claimed victory but the CTIA appealed and SF has cross appealed.
The more the better- let’s show San Francisco and the nation (other cities and states are watching closely as they too want to legislate but have been threatened with lawsuits) that we support their amazing efforts to stay in this battle as they could have repealed the legislation. We have Supervisor Avalos to thank for introducing new language and saving our right to know!
Those battling cell towers, smart meters, EHS, MCS and others should be concerned as to how this plays out in the court. We all need to ban together in our efforts. I applaud all of you for your tenacity in the face of horrible adversity.

Wireless Technology and the Toxification of America
by Prof. James F. Tracy
"As a multitude of hazardous wireless technologies are deployed in homes, schools and workplaces, government officials and industry representatives continue to insist on their safety despite growing evidence to the contrary. A major health crisis looms that is only hastened through the extensive deployment of “smart grid” technology."

"Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced a bill that would require cell phones to warn consumers how much radiation is coming from their phones, saying that until science can disprove a link to cancer, the public should be told more information."

SF cell phone safety law in appeals court battle
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A legal battle that's being closely watched around the nation took another step forward at the Court of Appeals in San Francisco Thursday.
At issue is the city's law forcing cell phone retailers to warn customers about potential health risks. It's on hold while the two sides fight it out.
San Francisco passed what's called the "Right to Know" law two years ago, making it the only city in the nation to require customer warnings for cell phones. But the industry has sued, saying the groundbreaking measure violates retailers' First Amendment rights by forcing them to provide messages they oppose.
Andrew McBride, an attorney for the cell phone industry said at the hearing: "The FDA and the FCC have said the phones are safe. They are as safe as we can make them under federal safety standards."
But San Francisco points out that the World Health Organization has classified radio-frequency energy from cell phones as being possibly cancer causing.
"There is no rule that says that the government must wait until we know that a product actually kills people -- that we have conclusive proof," San Francisco Deputy City Attorney Vincent Chhabria said.
The city's measure calls for customers to be given a notice about radio-frequency energy that includes recommendations such as limiting cell phone use by children, using a headset or speaker phone and reducing the number and length of calls.
Public opinion is mixed. "It's like a warning label. They put it on cigarettes. They put it on other items, so why not cell phone usage?" said Marijke Adams.
When shown an example of the notice, Tony Theophilos said: "I think this is absolutely ridiculous, and it's just like all the other notices that are posted in retail establishments. Nobody reads them anyway."
Thursday's hearing before the appellate judges came after a lower court ruling led San Francisco to scale back some of its warning language. The city wants it reinstated. The industry wants the entire law overturned.
There's no timetable for the Court of Appeals to rule, and in the meantime, San Francisco's cell phone law remains on hold.

U.S. Federal Appeals Court Blocks San Francisco Warning
13. Sept. 2012
The proposed San Francisco cell phone ordinance, that would have warned about the risks and suggested protective measures for use of this technology, has been blocked by a federal appeals court. Last year, a U.S. District Judge said that the ordinance sent a misleading message that cell phones are dangerous.
