Verizon DSL Noise Pollution and National Grid's Dirty Power

My family and I live in Western Massachusetts. We have lived for over two years with an insidious and invasive electrical noise which is in violation of MA Noise Regulations. Our lifestyles and wellbeing have been greatly compromised for almost 2 years. We have been unable to enjoy a normal night of sleep for over a year and a half.

Noise pollution due to electrical sources has been linked to serious health problems. We have not been able get help from our local, state or government officials, who will not enforce the law. Instead of help, we have received abuse and reverse condemnation. Why is this happening?

DSL, and all forms of telecommunication, including wireless, must be grounded to your utility company's neutral wire to operate. The outdated infrastructure of the power grid is overburdened and is often no longer compatible with modern requirements of technology. As the grid stretches the distance to rural communities, its quality is compromised to save costs. Technology is marching forward at a pace which the grid cannot handle. As a result, our communities, all of them, are being flooded with what is well known as harmonics, pure tones, audible frequencies, and stray voltage, which have all been proven by science to contribute to radiation and be carcinogenic.

The utility companies have no true regulatory oversight and have been allowed to say anything and do anything to avoid accountability and spare themselves the costs of appropriate and proven mitigation options. Whether or not you can hear electrical noise clearly, these frequencies are affecting you and your environment.

Gone are the days and nights of true peace and quiet. Your children will grow up to accept that the buzzing and humming electrical noises are "normal" and acceptable. They will be the first generation to suffer a lifetime of ill effects, since there are no radio frequency limits to protect them. The FCC wants to pass the noise off as people suffering from Tinnitus. We do not have tinnitus. This is wrong.

We have 8 reams of emails, hundreds of hours of audio recordings, scientific research, acoustical and electrical evidence of electrical leakage and radiation in our community and communities in every State we have visited and conducted testing, and a growing network of concerned citizens.

Many people across the country that are experiencing the same reactions from their utility company and officials. They are dealing with illness related to EMF and Radio Frequencies. We all deserve proper regulations, limits and oversight. Our elected officials should be fighting for our safety, our children's safety and the preservation of our wildlife.

We are forming a volunteer alliance across the country. Contact us by responding to this video. Call your local and State officials and demand protection from these health hazards. Don't allow them to fool you into submission. Demand that impact studies be done before attaching wireless to your grid. Tell them you want the proper testing conducted in your community to determine the risks you face.


Action Alert: Massachusetts House Bill To Ban Noisy Exhaust Systems

A bill (H.B. 2011) to ban the sale or installation of "an exhaust system which has been modified in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the exhaust" is about to be sent to the floor of the Massachusetts State House of Representatives for a vote by all representatives.

The bill is currently pending in the Committee on Third Reading. We urge you to contact the Chairman of the Committee Rep. Tom Golden by phone [617.722.2410] and e-mail [Rep.ThomasGolden@hou.state.ma.us] immediately to request his support of H.B. 2011.

This bill, if passed, will serve to protect the rights of Massachusetts citizens from noisy motorcycle and hot-rod exhaust systems. You can also contact the Massachusetts state legislature’s general information line at 617.722.2000 to find the name of your local representative. Here is the bill.


Rolling Stones Gather No Noise

The Rolling Stones, kicked off their 'A Bigger Bang' world tour at Boston's Fenway Park. When the Stones rocked the stadium on August 22, 2005, the police stood guard outside Fenway with noise meters. If the music surpassed 70 decibels on surrounding streets, the city was prepared to tell concert producers to turn down the volume.
