Protect Our Future: Key Issues in the 2024 Election
Welcome to RF Safe—a movement that has been at the forefront of protecting public health since the 1990s. For over two decades, we have been dedicated to safeguarding the well-being of future generations by addressing critical, nonpartisan issues that have been overlooked for too long. Our mission is backed by years of advocacy and research into the health risks of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Today, the latest scientific studies confirm that the debate over cell phone radiation hazards is settled—it’s time for decisive action. Vote for the well-being of our children.
Candidate Stances: Know Where They Stand
The 2024 election presents a critical opportunity to influence policy on these issues. We are compiling information on where candidates stand regarding RF-EMF safety, FCC reform, and support for scientific research.
Understanding where candidates stand on RF-EMF safety and research is vital for voters concerned about public health and technological advancement. For example, consider the positions of Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on RF-EMF issues, which are crucial for protecting the health of future generations.
In the meantime, we encourage you to ask candidates directly about their plans to address these urgent matters.
1. Update FCC Safety Guidelines: Embrace Modern Science
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to rely on outdated safety guidelines established in the 1990s. These guidelines only consider the thermal effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF)—the heating of tissue when exposed to radiation. However, recent peer-reviewed studies have conclusively demonstrated that non-thermal biological effects—such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and cellular dysfunction—pose significant health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations like children.
Why This Matters:
- National Toxicology Program (NTP) Findings: The NTP study, one of the largest and most comprehensive investigations into RF-EMF health effects, found clear evidence linking RF radiation to cancer, including malignant brain tumors (gliomas) and heart tumors (schwannomas).
- Vulnerable Populations: Children are more susceptible to RF-EMF exposure because their skulls are thinner, allowing deeper radiation penetration. Their developing tissues are more sensitive, and their longer lifetime exposure compounds the risks.
- Non-Thermal Effects: Studies show that even low levels of RF radiation can lead to DNA strand breaks, induce oxidative stress, and disrupt cellular repair mechanisms, linked to cancer, infertility, and neurological disorders.
Our Demand:
The FCC must immediately update its safety guidelines to reflect current scientific understanding. Stricter safety standards will compel manufacturers to develop safer technologies, critical for the health of future generations.
2. Restart National Toxicology Program (NTP) Cancer Research Ended Under Biden-Harris
The Biden-Harris administration halted funding for the NTP’s research, despite its clear findings of carcinogenic effects from RF radiation. This has left a dangerous gap in understanding the health impacts of wireless technology.
Why This Matters:
- The Importance of NTP Studies: These studies provided crucial data on RF-EMF exposure and cancer risks, helping inform global safety standards.
- Therapeutic Potential: RF-EMF also has therapeutic uses, like TheraBionic, an FDA-approved liver cancer treatment. Understanding both the risks and benefits is essential for medical advancements.
Our Demand:
We call for the immediate restoration of NTP research funding. Continued research is critical to understanding RF-EMF health impacts and ensuring safer technological advancements.
3. End FCC Regulatory Capture: Prioritize Public Health Over Profits
For decades, regulatory capture has allowed industry interests to unduly influence the FCC, resulting in weak safety regulations. We must ensure that public health, not corporate profits, drives decision-making.
Why This Matters:
- Industry Influence: The FCC has failed to update its guidelines under industry-friendly leadership, allowing corporations to prioritize profits over safety.
- Unchecked Technology: The rapid rollout of 5G and satellite networks without proper safety testing has left millions, especially children, exposed to higher radiation levels.
Our Demand:
The FCC must eliminate industry influence, ensuring transparent, science-based policymaking that protects public health.
Misclassification of RF Radiation Health Risks
RF radiation has been misclassified as a minor health risk, despite increasing evidence linking it to chronic diseases, including cancer. The unchecked expansion of wireless technology continues, while the public remains uninformed.
Key Misclassification Points:
- Bioelectric Dysregulation and Cancer: Emerging research shows how disruptions in cellular membrane potential (Vmem) may contribute to cancer.
- Bioelectric Dissonance and Social Fragmentation: EMF exposure may disrupt bioelectric processes, contributing to conditions like ADHD, autism, and neurological disorders.
- Environmental Impact: The biological effects of RF radiation on wildlife and ecosystems are under-researched but remain a critical concern.
Our Demand:
We must update safety guidelines, implement precautionary measures, and ensure continued research and health surveillance to monitor the long-term effects of RF radiation exposure.
Advocacy and Public Awareness
Raising awareness about RF radiation risks is crucial. Together, we can create a safer world for our children and future generations.
By voting for candidates committed to reforming outdated safety guidelines and supporting independent research, we can safeguard public health from RF radiation risks. RF Safe supports RFK Jr.’s alignment with Trump to protect public health and address the risks of RF-EMF exposure.
Now is the time to act, and your vote can make a difference.
