Healthy Bellies: Nomination hearings for Wheeler start June 18

Tomorrow, June 18, hearings begin for Thomas Wheeler, who is nominated to lead the FCC.

Please call your senator today and urge them to oppose the nomination of Thomas Wheeler to head the FCC. Wheeler is a wireless industry leader. We cannot trust that the public will be protected from harm with a special interest leader in charge of the FCC.

Meanwhile, the FCC has now begun the process of reviewing its "safety" guidelines for wireless radiation. They are seeking comments on their proposals.

Keeping this issue in the forefront of the city council is the best thing that our supporters can do at this time.

Attending city council meetings, reporting any health issues and forwarding emails to the city council asking for a no-cost analog ordinance will help to ensure that the city knows residents remain concerned and the issue will not go away.

Naperville Smart Meter Awareness is a non-profit 501(c)(4) group of concerned citizens educating the public about the risks of wireless smart meters. We are comprised of lawyers, technology professionals, health advocates, accountants, business owners and parents in our community.

Smart meters are currently being installed in Naperville despite a complaint for federal injunction and on-going investigations by the Illinois Attorney General for Open Meetings Act violations by the City of Naperville in conjunction with this project.

Smart meters pose risks in the areas of privacy, costs, security, safety and health and are not a federally mandated program. Our mission is to educate the residents of Naperville by bringing all pertinent information to the public and in doing so, advocate for a smarter solution in Naperville.
