During the summer of 2018, David Morrison and Deb Mayer made the rounds\u00a0visiting legislator after legislator in Salem\u00a0to find sponsors for\u00a0bills that would protect people, especially children, from the harmful health effects of WiFi radiation. Ultimately, they found a champion in Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson who suggested they write an\u00a0evidence-based draft\u00a0detailing the problem and possible solutions. With a little help from their friends and colleagues from\u00a0across the state, nation, and world, Morrison and Mayer drafted\u00a0three bills<\/a>: SB 281 to label wireless digital products,\u00a0SB 282 to limit students’ use of wireless devices at school, and SB 283 to protect children from the harmful health effects of Wifi radiation. While the first two bills languished in committee, SB 283 garnered bipartisan support and passed unanimously. The bill becomes law August 9th. It is the first law of its kind in the United States.<\/p>\n

SB 283 requires the\u00a0Oregon Health Authority to review effects\u00a0of exposure to microwave radiation in schools, and to develop recommendations for practices and alternatives that eliminate students\u2019 exposures, no later than September 15, 2020.\u00a0David Morrison, who has accumulated evidence on health risks of electromagnetic fields over the past 10 years is finally seeing his efforts pay off. During a March hearing,\u00a0he\u00a0displayed\u00a0four\u00a0boxes of documents\u00a0representing the thousands of independent studies concluding WiFi radiation poses a threat to living things. Even though legislators continue to poke fun at the bill<\/a> and its supporters, the bills creators\u00a0couldn’t be more serious in\u00a0their determination to educate doubters. Protecting the health of our children is no joke.<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 283<\/p>\n

Chief Sponsors: Senator MONNES ANDERSON, Representatives KENY-GUYER, PILUSO, Sen. BOQUIST Sponsors; Representative SANCHEZ,, Sen. THATCHER, Sen. THOMSEN, Rep. GREENLICK, Rep. NOSSE<\/p>\n

SB 283 directs the Department of Education to disclose potential health risks of wireless radiation, and to adopt guidelines on how to use wireless devices more safely.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson, a former public health nurse,\u00a0introduced SB 283 during precession and has been an unrelenting supporter persevering until its passage. During a hearing in March, the\u00a0Senator reminded her colleagues that they have a fiduciary responsibility to protect\u00a0Oregon’s\u00a0children at school.<\/p>\n

The following is a timeline<\/a> of the proceedings that led to SB 283 becoming law.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Senator Wagner, Education Committee Chair, opens hearings on SB 283.<\/p>\n

Prof. Paul H\u00e9roux, Professor of Toxicology and Health Effects of Electromagnetism at the McGill University\u00a0flew to Portland from Montreal to testify on behalf of SB 283,\u00a0only to return\u00a0to Monreal\u00a0the following day. Prof. H\u00e9roux developed a Unified Theory of Weak Magnetic Field Action that proposes A radical new outlook.<\/p>\n

Professor\u00a0H\u00e9roux’s testimony begins at 1:19:26 mm. He is interrupted briefly by Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson who must rush\u00a0to\u00a0a committee meeting. His testimony continues at 1:28:08 mm.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Senator Laurie Monnes-Anderson introduced the bill as a legislator and retired public health nurse. Monnes-Anderson is also a former school board member and the mother of two children who attended Oregon public schools.\u00a0 She understands the strengths and weaknesses of our public education system and has become well versed in the potential risks of long term exposure to microwave radiation in the classroom environment and made a special appearance at the hearing to speak in support of the bill.<\/p>\n

Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson begins at timestamp 1:24:50 mm and continues through !:27:38 mm.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

David Morrison has accumulated evidence on health risks of electromagnetic fields, and his efforts are now allowing SB 283 to be voted on. At extreme left, he points to 4 boxes of documents accumulated in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

The term\u00a0Electromagnetic Medicine\u00a0has, over the years, meant researchers in laboratories using\u00a0electromagnetic radiation to treat diseases. Dr. Dart gives it a new, clinical meaning, in the protection of Lucia, 14 years old, who testified below.<\/p>\n

Dr. Dart begins at timestamp 1:39:00\u00a0mm<\/p>\n

Lucia,\u00a0a minor,\u00a0attended school while positioned just below a WiFi router.<\/p>\n

At 9 years old, she became ill with nausea and rashes, and for over a year saw 7 doctors before her family realized that she was made sick by the WiFi radiation.\u00a0Her mother switched her to the only school available that did not have WiFi, and she recovered. Graduating from her current school, she is now looking to continue her studies in an environment that will not make her sick.<\/p>\n

Lucia begins at timestamp 1:41:35\u00a0mm<\/p>\n

Additionally, testimony for SB 282 was heard that day. Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson, Angelica Ray Kugler and Deb Mayer testified.<\/p>\n

\u00a0During her SB 282 testimony, Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson informed the Education Committee that the Oregon Health Authority would do a study so the bill must move forward to the Ways and Means committee.<\/p>\n

A detailed timeline following the progress of SB 283 can be viewed at the Oregon Legislative Information System<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

You may notice a common theme throughout<\/p>\n

the testimony on these bills. Not one person<\/p>\n

raised a voice against them.<\/p>\n

So, what\u00a0happened to SB 281 and SB 282 — the labeling and screen time bills?\u00a0They\u00a0languished in committee and died there, but not before some pretty spectacular testimony of support. You may notice a common theme throughout the testimony on all of these bills. Not one person raised a voice against them. \u00a0That being said, members from the tech industry were not absent. \u00a0They\u00a0could be seen occupying seats in the back row diligently\u00a0taking\u00a0notes during\u00a0the\u00a0sessions.<\/p>\n

Below is more testimony for SB 282 It begins at the !:30:20 mm timestamp. Angelica Rae Kugler and Deb Mayer testify.<\/p>\n

Read more about the the device that Mayer simulates in this article<\/a>, “Headband that detects brain activity gets tryout in schools; goal is to improve student engagement”. Mayer and her colleagues are perpetually perturbed that The Oregonian publishes stories like this one (which is nothing more than an advertisement for BrainCo.) and refuses to print stories about proposed legislation to protect kids from such devices.<\/p>\n

The fate of SB 281<\/p>\n

SB 281 was heard in the\u00a0Environment and Natural\u00a0Resources Committee.<\/p>\n

Senator Mike Debrow opens the hearing on SB 281, a bill\u00a0to require manufacturers of wireless products to provide warning labels and safety information to consumers.<\/p>\n
