Welcome, Petalumans.
We could use your help right now with this.
Are you tired of the deceptive and downright silly “Race to 5G” propaganda attempting to convince Americans that the dense 4G/5G so-called “small” Wireless Telecommunications Facilities (sWTFs) in front of our homes — with antennas that spray excessive Effective Radiated Power (ERP) into in our bedrooms at 25 million times higher than needed for 5-bars cellular coverage, resulting in scientifically-established melatonin-suppression, immuno-suppression, and immediate/direct neurological damages — is acceptable to Americans, in any way, shape or form? NEWS FLASH: The lack of public safety, 24/7 surveillance and lowered property values from these insufficiently-regulated extreme density 4G/5G sWTFs has never been acceptable — particularly when constructed next to homes, schools or parks.
Let’s learn from the past . . .
In 1965, a modest book shook a powerful industry
and resulted in passage of the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
. . . which actually worked.
Over 50 years later, we need local laws to reign in a similarly arrogant and even greedier industry — Wireless Telecom — an industry, abetted by a fully-captured Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The solution is simple: we need local laws to establish Speed Limits, Seat Belts and Airbags for Wireless Infrastructure — those sWTFs being constructed in our public rights-of-way. Cooperative federalism and local ordinances work, but we need protective ordinances passed asap because . . .
sWTFs Next to Homes, Schools and Parks is a Disaster
On November 20, 2019, we informed both the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SF-PUC) and the SF Board of Appeals (SF-BOA) — in the public record — that sWTF, shown below, should not be powered on because it lacked substantial written evidence of FCC-Mandated NEPA review. They ignored that and powered on the sWTF, anyway — just 12-15 feet from a woman’s 2nd-story bedroom window. Three months later, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had a bloody mass surgically removed from her head — shaved head, zipper scar — the full works. When told of these events on March 4, 2020, San Francisco would STILL NOT power off this sWTF. There are similar disasters brewing all over the country: including in Sacramento and Tucson.
Antennas 30-50 feet off the ground are too low.

Not 4-foot antennas, but 4-inch antennas are sufficient for telecommunications service.

Don’t tolerate similar OSHA violations in your locality.
