LLRC success in mast challenge

(excerpt)

Mobile phone mast scuppered by £200 Citizen Epidemiology survey

Local Council votes Orange out three times; Orange not to appeal.

Orange has withdrawn its application to install a mobile phone transmitter in the tower of St. Michael's church in Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. This unexpected development comes immediately after Green Audit (LLRC's scientific advisers) began a local health survey.

LLRC funds health questionnaire

Dr. Chris Busby of Green Audit said "We set out to discover the baseline of health before the microwave transmissions could begin. We intended to do a follow-up survey after the mast went into operation."

The Low Level Radiation Campaign felt that this was an opportunity for sound epidemiology. Since the study population would be identical to the control, the only difference would be the microwave exposure. This approach would provide reliable data on the effects.

Funded by LLRC, Green Audit designed a questionnaire and distributed it to a sample of houses in the area. We have used this method to monitor the effects of radioactive contamination in other parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

In Aberystwyth the initial survey was to be followed up a few weeks after the mast began transmitting at full power. Green Audit also planned to measure local field intensities.

Background

Local opposition to the transmitter was strong because St. Michael's church, where it was to be sited, is in a residential area and close to Castle Park, a popular children's playground and tourist attraction. There is evidence that living near such transmission antennae causes a range of health effects, from leukaemia and lymphoma to neurological symptoms like sleep disturbances, headaches, and depression. A paper outlining the scientific issues was sent to the local council (Ceredigion District Council) in September last year. The Council rejected the application three times.

Surprise rejection

The last rejection was a surprise development because it was expected that the applicants (Orange and the Rector of St. Michael's, Reverend Stuart Bell whose church was in line to receive annual payments of £5000) would thereafter appeal to the Welsh Assembly Government in Cardiff. The Health Protection Agency would have advised that there was no measurable health threat, Orange would have won the appeal, and costs in the region of £30,000 – 35,000 would have been awarded against Ceredigion District Council. But it looks as if Councillors had the courage to stand up to these bullying tactics.

Surprise retreat

Immediately following the commencement of the health survey, the Council has written to Green Audit to say that Orange and the Rector are not appealing; they have withdrawn the application.

Precedent

This could be a useful precedent. LLRC does not usually address non-ionising radiation but this looks like a case where just a whiff of good epidemiology, independent of industry funding and reviewers' bias and backed up by the implicit threat that (as usual) we would go straight to the press and the internet to release the results, has been enough to overcome the bad science that characterises radiation risk.

Chris Busby's recently published Wolves of Water, (which LLRC calls a Science Wars Combat Manual) has information about how and where we have used questionnaire surveys, like the Aberystwyth Orange study. (see http://www.llrc.org/wings/subtopic/wolves.htm )

'We don't want this mast to get higher'

By ALISON BELLAMY

RESIDENTS have launched a campaign to stop the extension of an already huge mobile phone mast blighting their view.

More than 100 people living near the Yorkshire Amateurs Football Club, Chapel Allerton, have sent letters of complaint to Leeds City Council, to say they do not want the 17.5 metre mast to go any higher.

But mobile phone provider O2 Airwaves has applied to extend the mast to 20 metres, which it says will improve the existing network purely for emergency services.

And the company believes its plan is likely to go ahead, as it is vital that emergency services have a clear network.

The cash-strapped football club has in previous years made money from having the masts in the ground, yet today said the latest development had nothing to do with them.

Today David Packham, secretary of the Bracken Edge Ground Company, which owns the club, said: "The new application could not be blamed on the club or owners, because, as far as I understand, it is the mobile phone company which had applied to improve its signal and technology with a larger mast."

But fears for health of local residents and well as players at the Roxholme Road club, has caused locals to object.

Resident Jill Harland, 32, said: "We are concerned about the appearance of a 20m mast. It would be very close to houses and people would see it on a daily basis. It would also spoil views from Gledhow Valley Woods.

"We successfully fought a plan for another mast two years ago and now we have to do it all again."

Chapel Allerton Labour Councillor Mohammed Rafique (Lab, Chapel Allerton) is backing them. He said: "In their latest bid O2 Airwaves want to replace and extend the height of the 17.5m high mast at the nearby Yorkshire Amateur's football Ground to 20m while adding six antennaes and two dishes."

He said that two years ago a campaign by local residents had played an important part in the council turning down O2's application to erect another 25-foot high mast at the site.

The council and Planning Inspectorate cited the damaging impact the mast would have on the aesthetic quality of the area as the main reason to refuse the application.

He added: "Who is to say that if this application is successful O2 might decide they want to enlarge it again in the future?"

Ray Weldon, of O2 Airwaves, said: "The extension is just to improve the resilience of the existing network. It is purely for emergency service use such as police, fire and ambulance and is in the interests of public safety. It is not to expand the network."

Todesfalle für Meeressäuger: Grindwale sollen unter Militärversuchen und anderen Lärmquellen leiden

Nach Auffassung der Naturschutzorganisation Pro Wildlife sind Delfine und Wale zunehmend durch den Lärm in den Ozeanen bedroht. "Unsere Kritik richtet sich unter anderem gegen den Einsatz von Militär-Sonar. Dieser kann so laut wie ein startender Düsenjet werden und den Tod von Delfinen und Walen verursachen", meint Sandra Altherr von Pro Wildlife. In den USA hätten in der vergangenen Woche Umweltverbände eine Klage gegen die Sonarversuche der US-Marine in delfinreichen Gewässern eingereicht. Seit 2003 seien diese Sonar-Einsätze verboten. Doch Anfang des Jahres habe das Pentagon das Verbot für zwei Jahre wieder aufgehoben.

BASF: Erdgas-Förderung soll letzte Wale Deutschlands gefährden

Die Naturschutzorganisation Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) warnt vor einer Gefährdung der letzten Wale Deutschlands durch die Erdgas-Förderung in der Nordsee. So seien am 2. April in den amtlichen Mitteilungen des Nautischen Warndienstes in Hamburg die ersten Sperrungen im Naturschutzgebiet Entenschnabel veröffentlicht worden. Dies bedeute, dass sich das Schiff Ocean Explorer, das im Auftrag der BASF Tochtergesellschaft Wintershall in der Nordsee nach Erdgas suche, mit seinen "gefährlichen Aktivitäten" begonnen habe. "Von heute an bis in den Herbst werden Tag für Tag, 24 Stunden lang, alle 8 Sekunden Luftkanonen (Airguns) das Meeresschutzgebiet und große Teile der Nordsee verlärmen und vermutlich alle Wale aus ihrem Lebensraum großflächig vertreiben", kritisieren die Naturschützer.

Warnung vor Angriffskrieg: "Der Iran ist von US-amerikanischen Militärbasen zu Land und zur See umzingelt"

Das Komitee für Grundrechte und Demokratie warnt vor den Folgen der Festnahme von 15 britischen Soldaten durch den Iran. Gleichgültig, ob die Festnahme in iranischen oder irakischen Gewässern erfolgte, erhöhe sich dadurch die Gefahr eine Angriffskrieges gegen den Iran, fürchtet der friedenspolitische Sprecher des Komitees, Andreas Buro. "Der Iran ist von US-amerikanischen Militärbasen zu Land und zur See umzingelt. In Israel werden bereits Übungen für einen Angriff auf den Iran betrieben. Die kriegerische Rhetorik beider Nuklearmächte ist außerordentlich bedrohlich und gibt zu größter Sorge Anlass, dass ein weiterer Krieg in Nah- und Mittelost vom Zaun gebrochen werden könnte", so Buro.

McCain Photo Op While US Troops Die

Sen. John McCain strolled briefly through an open-air market in Baghdad today in an effort to prove that Americans are "not getting the full picture" of what's going on in Iraq. He was accompanied by "100 American soldiers, with three Blackhawk helicopters and two Apache gunships overhead." Still photographs provided by the military to NBC News seemed to show McCain wearing a bulletproof vest during his visit.

Court Rebukes Bush in Global Warming Case

In a defeat for the Bush administration, the Supreme Court ruled Monday that a US government agency has the power under the clean air law to regulate greenhouse gas emissions that spur global warming. The ruling came in one of the most important environmental cases to reach the Supreme Court in decades. It marked the first high court decision in a case involving global warming.

Bush, Iran & Selective Outrage

Robert Parry argues that one of the least endearing features of Washington's political/media hierarchy is its propensity for selective outrage, like what is now coming from George W. Bush about the "inexcusable behavior" of the Iranian government in holding 15 British sailors whom Bush has labeled "hostages." This is the same President Bush who often mocks the very idea that international law should apply to him; he's fond of the punch line: "International law? I better call my lawyer." But Bush becomes a pious defender of international law when it suits his geopolitical interests.

Speak out to require California's utilities to reduce global warming pollution

Last fall California passed the world's first law limiting global warming pollution from electricity generation. The law prohibits new long-term investments in any baseload electricity power plants (those workhorse power plants that run around the clock) that emit more global warming pollution than an efficient natural gas power plant. A new conventional coal-fired power plant, for example, emits more than twice as much global warming pollution as a new natural gas plant.

In March, the California Energy Commission proposed regulations to implement and enforce the law for the state's municipal utilities, like the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The proposed regulations are consistent with those already adopted by the California Public Utilities Commission for the state's investor-owned utilities (like Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison), in order to ensure that utilities across the state are held to the same standard. Nevertheless, the California Energy Commission faces continued pressure to weaken its proposed enforcement regulations.

The commission will consider the proposed regulations at its April 25th meeting, and is accepting public comments until that date.


== What to do ==

Send a message, before the April 25th meeting, urging the California Energy Commission to adopt the proposed global warming pollution performance standard regulations for municipal utilities.

Subject: Docket No. 06-OIR-1-- Comments on proposed GHG emissions standard regulations

Dear Commissioners,

I strongly support the proposed "Regulations Establishing and Implementing a Greenhouse Gases Emission Performance Standard for Local Publicly Owned Utilities." These regulations would ensure that utilities are required to place their long-term investments in clean energy sources, thus helping California meet its global warming emissions reduction targets under the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) and avoiding the unnecessary exposure of Californians to hundreds of millions of dollars in extra costs resulting from new investments in highly polluting energy sources.

We must protect all Californians equally from the financial and reliability risks of continued reliance on electricity sources that produce high amounts of global warming pollution. The California Public Utilities Commission has already adopted strong rules to implement and enforce SB 1368 for the state's investor-owned utilities, and the California Energy Commission is obligated to adopt consistent regulations for the state's local publicly owned utilities.

The proposed regulations provide for necessary state oversight to ensure compliance with the standard, while allowing the publicly owned utilities enough flexibility to continue purchasing the cleanest, most affordable power for their customers. In addition, the proposed regulations would ensure a consistent statewide standard for all California utilities. I strongly urge the commission to adopt the proposed regulations to implement and enforce SB 1368 for California's local publicly owned utilities.

Sincerely,

[Your name and address]

Tell state wildlife officials to protect California condors from poisonous lead bullets

Lead ammunition is threatening to wipe out the last surviving California condors. After several public hearings, the California Fish and Game Commission is poised to vote this month on whether to ban this poisonous hunting ammunition in counties where condors live.

The California condor, North America's largest bird, is one of the most endangered animals on earth. Today there are 138 condors in the wild, 61 of which fly free in California. One of the leading causes of condor deaths is lead poisoning, which occurs when the birds accidentally ingest lead bullet fragments found in their prey. Lead poisoning has caused nine confirmed condor deaths since 1992 and has been implicated in the death or disappearance of at least 15 more condors. Other birds, such as golden and bald eagles, are also susceptible to lead contamination from ingesting lead fragments in ammunition.

The California Fish and Game Commission is considering changing its hunting regulations to ban lead ammunition in counties with condor populations. Such a ban would help protect these birds and others from lead contamination and bring them back from the brink of extinction.

The commission will vote on the ban at its April 12-13 meeting in Bodega Bay.


== What to do ==

Send a message, before April 12th, urging the California Fish and Game Commission to ban the use of lead ammunition in counties where condors live.

Subject: Ban lead ammunition in condor habitat

Dear Acting Chief Updike,

I urge the California Fish and Game Commission to ban the use of lead ammunition for hunting activities in California hunting zones where condors are found.

Leading scientists have concluded that lead poisoning is a major obstacle to the recovery of the California condor. In addition to condors, other birds, such as golden and bald eagles, also are poisoned by ingesting lead shot and lead bullet fragments.

Alternatives to lead ammunition for many hunting activities are already widely available.

Please act now to protect the natural heritage of all Californians and save the California condor.

Sincerely,

The emails the White House doesn’t want you to see

Mother Jones
by Daniel Schulman

03/30/07

In general, past administrations, Democratic and Republican, have chafed at the prospect of turning over their records, per the Presidential Records Act, says Bruce Montgomery, the director of the University of Colorado at Boulder’s archives and an expert on presidential papers. ‘No president since Carter, who signed the Presidential Records Act into law, has looked kindly on that statute. Carter did not want the Presidential Records Act to apply to him. The Carter Justice Department saw it as a breach of the separation of powers.’ In 1985, a young lawyer working in the Reagan White House questioned the constitutionality of the law in a memo to his boss, White House counsel Fred Fielding, who is currently reprising that role in the Bush administration. That lawyer, John Glover Roberts Jr., who we know as Chief Justice Roberts, noted that the ‘existence of the Act serves to burden the full and frank exchange of advice.’ That advice, he argued, ‘is protected by the constitutionally based doctrine of executive privilege.’ He fretted, however, that it was too early to mount a constitutional challenge. That would have to wait until 2001, when, after the 12-year waiting period outlined in the law, the first batch of Reagan-era documents would be released...

Has the end of America’s war on Iraq been brought closer by the recent vote in the House of Representatives? On March 23, the full House voted 218 to 212 to set a timeline on the withdrawal of US troops, with September 1, 2008, as the putative date after which war funding might be restricted to withdrawal purposes only. It’s not exactly a stringent deadline. It only requires Bush to seek Congressional approval before extending the occupation and spending new funds to do so. … Although nothing of any significance actually happened on March 23, to read liberal commentators one would think we’d witnessed some profound upheaval, courtesy of Nancy Pelosi’s skillful uniting of the various Democratic factions. What she accomplished in practice was the neutering of the antiwar faction...

There are many untruths emanating from Washington about the recently passed House budget. It almost seems like there is an attempt to rewrite history. First, the Republicans in Washington have zero credibility when it comes to the budget. Last year, when they were in complete control, they couldn’t pass a budget resolution or the appropriations process. The wheels completely fell off. They gave us the rainforest in Iowa, the Bridge to Nowhere, and, when handed a budget surplus in the hundreds of billions of dollars in 2000, it only took six years to squander it and saddle us with historic deficits and a ballooning debt. The record needs to be set straight. The newly passed budget ends the ‘borrow-and-spend’ era of the last several years with the reimplementation of pay-as-you-go rules...

Kissinger: Iraq victory not possible

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who helped engineer the US withdrawal from Vietnam, says the problems in Iraq are more complex than that conflict, and military victory is no longer possible. He also said he sympathises with the troubles facing US President George Bush. ‘A ‘military victory’ in the sense of total control over the whole territory, imposed on the entire population, is not possible,’ Kissinger told The Associated Press in Tokyo, where he received an honorary degree from Waseda University. The faceless, ubiquitous nature of Iraq’s insurgency, as well as the religious divide between Shi’ite and Sunni rivals, makes negotiating peace more complex, he said...

Kürzungen bei Hartz IV-Kindern finanzieren das höhere Kindergeld

„Die neu gründete Bündnisplattform «Kinderarmut durch Hartz IV» wirft Finanzminister Peer Steinbrück vor, seine im Haushaltsentwurf 2009 eingestellten Mittel für Familien mit Kindern in Höhe von einer Mrd. Euro würden zur Hälfte durch Einsparungen bei Hartz IV-Kindern gegenfinanziert. Mit Einführung von Hartz IV im Jahr 2005 sei Kindern und Jugendlichen ab sieben der Wachstumsbedarf aberkannt worden, und die Bundesregierung sei bis heute nicht bereit, diese Kürzung wieder zurück zu nehmen….“ Pressemitteilung der Bündnisplattform «Kinderarmut durch Hartz IV» vom 16.07.2008 http://www.kinderarmut-durch-hartz4.de/info-kinderarmut/presse/16-2008071581.html

You can not only plant trees for as little as .50 cents each but also save rainforest at the same time!:) Shop where it matters & only where it matters. http://www.therainforestsite.com Visit The Rainforest Site and do a search on Save Monarch Butterfly Habitat. In one year I have planted 1000 trees and so can you! You can help by funding the planting of tree seedlings in the butterflies' overwintering area in Michoacán, Mexico, through the work of The Michoacán Reforestation Fund, winner of the 2002 Smithsonian Magazine/USTOA Conservation Award. This fine organization has worked with its Mexican partners to plant over 2 million trees since its founding in 1997 and is committed to restoring protective forest cover. As the trees grow, they serve as a climatic buffer that protects butterflies from harsh weather. And when sustainably harvested, the trees provide a renewable source of income for local residents. Choose to plant 50 Trees ($25.00) or 100 Trees ($50.00). https://shop.therainforestsite.com/store

The good news is, millions of trees will be planted over the next year. The bad news is, many of those trees will not be planted correctly and then only given minimal care over time. I have prepared this eCourse so that you can prepare yourself for the best tree planting outcome possible. You are beginning a course that will broaden your understanding of a tree's needs a bit while giving you sound advice on how to select and plant the best one possible. Let's get started!

10 Trees You May Not Want to Plant

Planting the wrong tree in the wrong place is a guarantee for future tree removal. Tree removal is, at best, expensive to buy and can be very dangerous if you decide to do it yourself - plus it is back breaking work. A lot of trouble and anxiety can be avoided by planting the appropriate tree on your property to start with.

Plant Hardiness Zones

It is extremely important that you plant your tree in a place where it will survive. Planting a tree outside of it's hardiness zone can waste you time, money and effort. Most nurseries suggest planting trees using a USDA hardiness zone as your guide. Check your tree for zone requirements and check this map for your particular planting zone.

Our "Strong Economy:" A Powder Keg Waiting to Blow

by Devvy Kidd

Michael Panzner is author of a book titled Financial Armageddon, which has a clear message no one wants to hear: "Unable to cope with the harsh new economic environment, growing numbers of Americans will end up on the streets - confused, homeless and hungry. With that, begging will increase to previously unseen levels. So too will a range of other social ills, especially when those who have lost hope seek solace in drugs or alcohol…Even once-model citizens will have little choice but to break the law to take care of themselves and their families." Panzner isn't blowing smoke, he's trying to warn unsuspecting Americans poised to lose everything......

Wollt ihr das totale Protokoll?

Dass sich der Staat für Recherchen und Informanten von Journalisten interessiert und dabei auch deren Kommunikation überprüft, ist nicht neu. Bekannt wurde etwa die Ermittlung von Telefonkontaktdaten eines Reporters der Dresdner Morgenpost, die Telefonüberwachung von Journalisten des Stern und des ZDF im Zusammenhang mit dem Entführungsfall Khaled el-Masri und die monatelange Analyse aller Verbindungsdaten der Wolfsburger Allgemeinen Zeitung.

Was Journalisten und allen Bürgern dieses Landes droht, wenn das verharmlosend "Vorratsdatenspeicherung" genannte Vorhaben der Regierung umgesetzt wird, beschreibt Patrick Breyer in der aktuellen Ausgabe des Medienmagazins 'Berliner Journalisten'.

Freispruch für BamS-Reporter in Sachen Jauch

Aus einer PM des Axel-Springer-Verlages vom 22. März 2007:

Der BamS-Chefreporter Guido Brandenburg wurde heute in einem von TV-Moderator Günther Jauch veranlassten Strafverfahren vor dem Amtsgericht Potsdam freigesprochen.

Brandenburg war von Jauch vorgeworfen worden, sich über sein Immobilienvermögen beim Grundbuchamt Potsdam durch verleumderische Angaben Informationen verschafft zu haben. Jauch hatte Strafanzeige gestellt, nachdem er zuvor von Behauptungen erfahren hatte, der Reporter hätte bei der Recherche von dem Verdacht der Vorteilsgewährung im Zusammenhang mit Grundstücksgeschäften Jauchs gesprochen.

Claus Strunz, Chefredakteur BamS: "Hier sollte in beispielloser Weise ein Journalist kriminalisiert werden, der sich bei seinen Recherchen völlig korrekt verhalten hat. Es ist gut für die Pressefreiheit in diesem Land, dass dieser Versuch gescheitert ist."

EU-Kommission bangt um Richtlinie zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung

Die deutschen Pläne zur elektronischen Totalüberwachung aller Bewohner des Landes (verharmlosend Vorratsdatenspeicherung betitelt) fußen auf einer entsprechenden Richtlinie der Europäischen Kommission. Diese hat gerade den Zugang zu Dokumenten abgelehnt, die die Gültigkeit der Richtlinie zur Vorratsspeicherung von Telekommunikationsdaten betreffen. Bürgerrechtler werten die Entscheidung als Ausdruck einer zunehmenden Nervosität der Brüsseler Behörde in Bezug auf eine laufende Klage gegen die Richtlinie.

Nach der Richtlinie vom März 2006 soll zur "verbesserten Strafverfolgung" unter anderem nachvollziehbar werden, wer mit wem in den letzten sechs Monaten per Telefon, Handy oder E-Mail in Verbindung gestanden hat.

Zwei Monate nach Beschluss der Richtlinie hat der Europäische Gerichtshof die Fluggastdatenübermittlung in die USA für unzulässig erklärt, weil die EG für die innere Sicherheit nicht zuständig ist. Unter Berufung auf dieses Urteil hat Irland im Juni 2006 Nichtigkeitsklage gegen die Richtlinie zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung eingereicht. Eine Entscheidung des Gerichtshofs wird für nächstes Jahr erwartet.

Unter Berufung auf Informationsfreiheitsregelungen hat der Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung, ein bundesweiter Zusammenschluss von Bürgerrechtlern, Datenschützern und Internet-Nutzern, von der EG-Kommission die Herausgabe von Dokumenten über die Gerichtsverfahren zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung und zur Fluggastdatenübermittlung verlangt. Die Dokumente sollen die Einschätzung vieler Rechtsexperten untermauern, dass die Richtlinie zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung nichtig ist und deswegen nicht umgesetzt werden darf.

Die Kommission hat die Anträge mit dem Argument abgelehnt, eine Offenlegung könne dem laufenden Gerichtsverfahren schaden und die "Verteidigungsrechte der Parteien unterminieren".

In Deutschland laufen Datenschutzbeauftragte gemeinsam mit Journalisten-, Medien-, Verbraucher- und Wirtschaftsverbänden Sturm gegen die Pläne der Bundesregierung, die Kommunikationsdatenspeicherung noch dieses Jahr umzusetzen. "Eine derart weitreichende Registrierung des Verhaltens der Menschen in Deutschland halten wir für inakzeptabel", heißt es in der Gemeinsamen Erklärung vom Januar. Die Verbände verlangen, die Pläne zumindest bis zur Entscheidung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs über die Rechtmäßigkeit der Richtlinie auf Eis zu legen.

Freiheit statt Angst: Demo gegen Sicherheits- und Überwachungswahn

Sa., 14.04.2007, ab 15 Uhr, Frankfurt (Main), Hauptbahnhof.

Buergerrechtler rufen bundesweit zur Teilnahme an einer Demonstration gegen die ausufernde Überwachung durch Staat und Wirtschaft auf. Am Samstag, den 14. April 2007 werden besorgte Bürgerinnen und Buerger in Frankfurt am Main unter dem Motto "Freiheit statt Angst" auf die Strasse gehen. Treffpunkt ist der Hauptbahnhof um 15 Uhr. Der Protestmarsch durch die Stadt wird mit einer Kundgebung vor der Paulskirche enden.

Die Forderungen:

1. Weniger Überwachung

- keine Totalprotokollierung von Telefon, Handy und Internet (Vorratsdatenspeicherung),

- Stopp der Videoüberwachung des öffentlichen Raums, keine automatische Gesichtskontrolle,
- Stopp von Biometrie und RFID-Chips in Ausweisen und Pässen,
- keine Aufzeichnung des Flugreiseverkehrs,
- kein automatischer Kfz-Kennzeichenabgleich auf öffentlichen Strassen.

2. Bestehende Überwachungsgesetze auf den Prüfstand stellen

- unabhängige Überprüfung aller seit 1968 beschlossenen Überwachungsgesetze auf ihre Wirksamkeit und schädlichen Nebenwirkungen.

3. Stopp für neue Überwachungsgesetze

- Nach der inneren Aufrüstung der letzten Jahre fordern wir einen sofortigen Stopp neuer Gesetzesvorhaben auf dem Gebiet der inneren Sicherheit, wenn sie mit weiteren Grundrechtseingriffen verbunden sind.

April unter dem Motto "Freiheit statt Angst" zu einem Protestmarsch in Frankfurt am Main gegen die ausufernde Überwachung durch Staat und Wirtschaft auf. Die Organisationen sind sich einig, dass es höchste Zeit ist, vor dem Hintergrund permanenter Verschärfungen von Sicherheits- und Überwachungsgesetzen für die Bewahrung der Grundrechte der Bürgerinnen und Bürger auf die Straße zu gehen. Die Demonstration wendet sich unter anderem gegen die Vorratsspeicherung des Telekommunikationsverhaltens der gesamten Bevölkerung, gegen verdeckte Online-Durchsuchungen von Computern und gegen die neue Wunschliste von Bundesinnenminister Wolfgang Schäuble…“ Pressemitteilung vom 10.
