Santa Fe Alliance for Public Health and Safety's
appeal will be filed in the U.S. Supreme Court one month from today. We
will ask the high court to strike down as unconstitutional the
preemption clause in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This will
restore to cities and states the right to protect their citizens'
health, and it will restore to injured people the right to a remedy for
their losses.
Our wonderful attorneys are Phillip Gregory of the
Gregory Law Group in Redwood City, California, and Merrill Bent of
Woolmington, Campbell, Bent & Stasny in Manchester, Vermont. They
and I are hard at work crafting our legal arguments and otherwise
preparing the ground in order to have the best chance to have the
Supreme Court accept our case.
Part of the ground work, as
outlined in my last newsletter, is getting many organizations to file
amicus (friend of the court) briefs in the Supreme Court in support of
our lawsuit. We are approaching cities and counties; members of
Congress; environmental organizations; EMF organizations; and others.
The South Carolina Coalition for Wireless Safety Standards
has hired an attorney and is taking the lead in organizing the amicus
brief that will be filed on behalf of the EMF organizations and others.
The (approximately 60) organizations and numerous individuals who have
already contacted me or Kathleen will be put in touch with them. We need
as many organizations as possible to join their brief. If you would
like to join, either as an organization or as an individual, and have
not yet contacted us, please contact Lex Kisteneff, their director, at
lex@sccwss.org, (803) 622-3950.
