Support the Legislative Action in GA Against Cell Towers at Schools

(click headline for the full story)

If you have not heard, Tuesday is a very big day for the parents and community members engaged in the battle against placing cellphone towers at our schools in DeKalb County, GA. 

Help us stop dangerous cellphone towers from going
up next to schools, homes or houses of worship.  This
fire in Lilburn occurred over the Summer and required
evacuation of several homes and a daycare.  There was even
fear that the tower might fall onto a gas station located nearby.
Your attendance at a hearing on Tuesday would be a big help to show support for legislation being introduced that would keep cell towers off school grounds. 

But, in case you cannot attend, you can still help!  Between today and end of day Monday, please email your state legislators and let him/her know that you are in favor of a ban on cell towers at schools.  In addition, it would help if you mention that you support the setback requirements that have been passing in other states recently: 




Wireless equipment may not be installed within 1,500 feet from any school, daycare, home or

house of worship unless there is compelling evidence that no other site will work and there is

an absolute need.
