They want to ban the only light source I can use?

I don't entirely have time for this, but I needed to put up the alert so folks can write our representatives... If you're in California, Autistic in another state, or friends with an Autistic (er, well, you know me at least :) please write in to our assembly people, governor, etc. about this! Going public to reach the widest audience possible

It is just things that I have heard over the years.... I guess the area in which I live is totally against that as well the dangers of certain computer monitors/LANs/cell phones/microwaves etc
But, I found this. http://www.daylighting.com/Article-HealthHazardsofFluorescentLighting.htm
that actually lists health problems that are created or made worse my the lighting. This would be good since there most likely be lots of Aspie and Auties sending in letters and such. This is so many other things that are made worse because of these lights. In this one there is a bit about mercury in the lights themselves... Now it is less but still mercury in the schools and places of work etc????
