I purchased my first cell phone in 2004 -- a little Motorola flip phone. Not realizing its dangers, I kept it in my left-hand pants pocket. I learned quickly enough, as a small cluster of tumors appeared on my left thigh where my pocket was. I've not carried a cell phone on my person since, keeping it in my computer bag instead, and keeping it either off or on airplane mode when I'm carrying the bag. I replaced the flip phone with a smart phone that allows me to talk hands-free. At home and at work, when it's fully enabled, I leave my phone on a desk or shelf across the room from me unless I'm actually using it, in which case I have the speaker enabled. I never put it up to my ear. After developing headaches from having it on in the car, I consistently turned it completely off while driving, and continue to do so. Three of those tumors remain to this day as scar tissue on my left thigh.
Thank you, Mr. Kennedy, for giving the public a voice to say how EMF affects us. I had no idea EMF was the problem (all 15 of them), until I did my own research and everything pointed to EMF exposure and toxicity - no one else was informing the public! The symptoms got so bad, I was looking to not drive, not work, no income coming in, etc. It turned my life upside down.
Some of the symptoms I had were vertigo, heart palpitations (which still occur but not so bad), very poor digestion, horrible hot flashes (I mean red red face) every at least 10 minutes. I had Reynaud's symptoms, unable to sleep no matter what I tried, hands, fingers arms tingling if on the computer too long, feeling of extreme tiredness as if I were "zapped" of energy, and skin burning/tingling sensations. I don't remember other symptoms right now, but it was bad.
Once I learned about EMF and took measures to "distance and avoid" most of the symptoms disappeared; some not completely but I felt, after many years, I was not going to die young after all.
Even today, I feel shaky, very tired, my hands shake and I'm unable to sleep if I had been in a room w/ many cell phones, which is most crowded areas/rooms. I felt all of these symptoms once after seeing a movie, so it still limits me in considerable ways. I'm unable to fly anymore. I don't go to concerts anymore, or any place crowded. I feel zapped and unable to sleep after driving many hours on freeways. I cannot sleep in most homes/rooms as people have routers. The only way I travel is in our small van that has no windows in the back as that is where I sleep.
I appreciate your work greatly, Mr. Kennedy. You are really the only person, in public office, speaking out about dangers of EMFs and doing something about it. I appreciate you.
Some of yall are aware of this bullshit that is being unleashed on american citizens throughout the whole country. Certain groups and organizations are targeting citizens using neurotechnology and directed energy weapon systems. It's been complete hell for over 2 years. Mine started in Paducah, KY and I'm sure some , if not most of the city council, police department are in on it. This whole program is sick and twisted and it followed me all the way to the northwest. Fuck you if yall are in on this shit.
Thank you for the opportunity to tell my personal story about how I'm affected by RF radiation. I’m 69, a white female, & have been chemically sensitive for 40 years. I started noticing electro-magnetic sensitivity 10-15 years ago. I keep my cell phone in Airplane Mode. We turned off the Wi-Fi in our home & hard-wired my computer. I wear RF-shielding gloves while working on the PC to protect my fingertips from burning.
On July 9, 2018, the Pacific Power Company came to our home to install an electrical Smart Meter. Minutes later, I was standing in my kitchen & the new Smart Meter was 6 feet away on the other side of the house wall. My heart started fluttering but I shrugged it off. Suddenly, my heart JUMPED around in my chest radically. I ran out of the house. My husband called Pacific Power, asking them to remove the new meter but they said the employee who had just installed it & was still in the neighborhood wasn’t qualified to uninstall it. We waited 3 days for the electric company to come. I was still healing from a double mastectomy & my health felt fragile. Finally, my husband removed the Smart Meter himself, replacing it with an analog meter he had access to. My heart continued fluttering for a week afterwards & my doctor sent me to the ER. No permanent damage to my heart was found. The ER doctor suggested I was having panic attacks but I knew better.
A few weeks later, the electric company finally got back to us &, discovering the Smart Meter had been removed, were livid. We were threatened & fined. When we refused to allow them to remove & replace the analog meter, they cut off the electricity to our home. The food in our freezer had begun to thaw by the time we realized our electricity was out. Feeling very coerced, we agreed to let Pacific Power install what they assured us was a “Non-RF-emitting” meter. They had sworn the Smart Meter was safe, too, but we seemed to have little choice. We felt very bullied. In addition to a fine, we had to pay $139 to officially uninstall the Smart Meter & switch to a non-RF-emitting meter. Since that time, we’ve also paid a monthly fee that customers with a Smart Meter do not have to pay. The non-RF-emitting meter hasn’t caused me any further problems with cardiac arrhythmia.
How is it that we have to pay extra money to keep a life-threatening device off the wall of our home? I hope someday to be legally validated & reimbursed by the Pacific Power company for the trauma, pain & suffering they've caused me.
I’ve also had problems with RF sensitivity at church since Smart Meters were installed. The metal fillings in my teeth seem to attract RF & exposure makes my jaw ache. I get a sharp headache at my temples & brain fog from too much RF. I’ve stopped wearing metal, especially near my head & heart. I’ve purchased faraday cages for two of the Smart Meters at church so I can socialize & attend baptisms.
The effect of too much RF exposure is delayed & hard to notice until I lie down in quietness & feel my limbs buzzing. The buzzing is subtle while I’m busy. I start groaning & feeling cranky. When I finally lie down to rest, the buzzing becomes very apparent & uncomfortable. It takes hours to resolve.
A new cell tower was proposed this summer to be built next to my church of 43 years. I spoke to our county’s planning commission in opposition to the new tower. I was shocked to learn that federal law prohibits the planning commission from considering any health objections to the approval of a new cell tower… WHAT?!! Health concerns are the most critical reason not to build a cell tower near schools, hospitals, churches, & in residential areas. I hope that law is repealed ASAP. By God’s grace, the new next-door cell tower was not approved.
For folks with electro-magnetic sensitivity like me, “progress” in this modern world is scary. How long will we be able to find safe places to live? My heart goes out to people who are being irradiated by RF & don’t feel the adverse effects so that they act to protect themselves. I trust it’s just a matter of time before those in power decide to prioritize public health over technological growth & profit.
I’ve been able to build a relatively safe environment for myself here at home. In a healthy environment, I feel strong & sassy. I can tolerate excursions into town for appointments & groceries. Sometimes, though, after a long day of exposures to chemicals & RF radiation, I become so drowsy that driving is dangerous. The after-effects of heavy exposure cause me to almost pass out. I usually recover from these exposures by falling into bed & sleeping it off but I have to get home safely first.
What a waste of human energy, focus, & productivity these environmental toxins are causing. I’m delighted you’re taking a serious look at these things & how they’re affecting people, animals, & plants. Thank you for listening & good luck!

I am starting to draft an outline for a research project I want to undertake and the topics I would like to address. Since there is a deadline for submitting preliminary information on the subject, I am sending you this incomplete draft. It is a highly rigorous yet fascinating topic, given that the future of society will be shaped by technology. I hope you like it, and thank you.
Yes my face is constantly tingling feels like something is crawling under my skin. I live a stones throw away. I have headaches and feel so strange. I am on no medications that these would cause side after effects from.
It’s the towers and the spraying in the air and it’s in and on all of us.
I am a targeted individual in Boise, Idaho. I know exactly who put me on the list. I am trafficked every day, I am tortured by directed energy weapons, I am cyber harassed, cyber bullied, cyber too. This shit is unexcusable. It’s inhumane. I am tortured to the point where I have sores. They make me have bad dreams and little sleep. I am harassed while I drive, I am tortured while I work. There are drones and satellites that are above my house nightly and they follow me to work. It’s disgusting. Look into Idaho Department of Corrections.
