Re: I'm Concerned About 5G Risks
Dear Mr. Mehl,
I'm concerned about the impact of 5G technology. I'm writing you to ask that you NOT approve any implementationof 5G in Montana. I expect you to represent us, your constituents and protect us from 5G in Montana.
This week, more than 150,000 people are participating in an online Summit to examine the facts pertaining to 5G.To be clear, we understand that there are indeed benefits to this technology. We also understand, however, that thereare very significant risks associated with the technology which have not been addressed to date. As my electedrepresentative, I urge you to examine then take immediate action to mitigate these risks.
What are the risks and negative impacts from 5G? These fit into the following broad categories: 1) adverse healthimpacts, 2) privacy impacts, 3) national security risks and 4) budgetary impacts.
ADVERSE HEALTH IMPACTS have been confirmed in over 3,600 medical studies that include cancer, sterility,heart conditions, and much more including environmental impacts.
PRIVACY IMPACTS include the harvesting of personal data about citizens without their knowledge or consent;including granular "contact tracing" surveillance, which 5G facilitates.
NATIONAL SECURITY RISKS include providing hostile nations with access to sensitive military and criticalinfrastructure networks.
BUDGETARY IMPACTS rise from lawsuits against municipal authorities for failure to comply with currentstatutory protections such as those provided in the ADA and FHA.
Individually, these risks would merit further action. Collectively, they should justify treating the matter as an urgent,immediate priority.
To be clear, to date there are no independent safety studies demonstrating the safety of prolonged exposure to themicrowave and millimeter-wave frequencies; or phased array beamforming intended to be used for 5G in the future.
Thus, with thousands of studies indicating harmful bio-effect(s) from wireless radiation, and since the wirelessindustry tells us that 5G requires installation of transmitters emitting wireless radiation 24 hours a day in front ofevery 3-10 homes, causing or facilitating the deployment of 5G is an act of harm and/or negligence.
States such as Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Oregon,
New York, and California have taken action to limit and exert more control over the 5G rollout.
Federal legislators, Senators Richard Blumenthal and James Gaughran, and Representatives Anna Esho, ThomasSuozzi, Daniel Lipinsky, Andy Kim, and Peter DeFazio have all formally initiated an inquiry regarding the safety of5G technology and have requested documentation of its safety.
Countries and cities around the world, including Switzerland, Brussels, Italy, Greece, UK, Slovenia, Nigeria, NewGuinea, have completely halted or postponed the roll out of 5G until its safety has been firmly established.
Leading tech and industry professionals including Frank Clegg, the former President of Microsoft Canada, havemade pragmatic appeals to policy makers regarding the risks of 5G technologies (see: youtu.be/xSP2exnmJXg ). Mr.Clegg has requested that his industry, the telecommunications industry, be required by policy makers to do fullsafety testing on 5G and pursue technological options such as fiber optics which mitigate health, privacy andsecurity risks.
What actions can be taken? Contrary to what you may be told by federal authorities, state authorities or even yourown legal counsel, there are significant actions you can take right now to join other communities in the protection ofthe rights of the citizens within your community.
THESE ACTIONS INCLUDE:1) pursuing ordinances that require the telecom provider to comply with the ADA/FHA;2) requesting applications for installation from 5G service providers stating their compliance with FCC installationrequirements;3) submitting these applications to FCC for environmental impact assessment; and4) ensuring that electrosensitive citizens (3.2% of population on average) are provided with an environment freefrom harm.
Furthermore, please note that at least 23 municipalities from around the US are currently suing in the federal 9thDistrict Court for the rights to regulate and control the rollout of 5G infrastructure in their local communities.
For more information, and/or to receive a summary of key legal facts and proven-successful steps you can takewithin your local government, please see “5G & Wireless Facts at a Glance” (copy-paste this link):solutionsforhumanity.net/wireless-facts-at-a-glance/
You are the last line of defense for the members of your community including your own family and friends. It is myhope that you will join with others in the pursuit of ordinances that protects all of us.
