Support H.R. 6358: Cell Phone Right to Know Act

Support H.R. 6358: Cell Phone Right to Know Act

 
Dear Rep. Henry Johnson:
I support H.R. 6358: Cell Phone Right to Know Act because... my school system in DeKalb County has been involved in the controversy surrounding this issue since May 2011. Our local Board of Education wants to build cell phone towers on school grounds and avoid local zoning laws in the process.

The H.R. 6358 bill would give our local zoning officials the rights to decide what is best rather than being held off by vauge language in the Telecom. Act of 1996. There has been much worldwide research developments that sheds new light on the effects of RF radiation. Health and environmental effects absolutely should be a consideration, esp. when the lives of children are concerned.

Parents need to know the levels of radiation clearly on cell phone and other wireless devices as do all consumers. We need local decisions on zoning. Here in DeKalb we took the issue to our state legislators for a ban.

We gained bipatisan support with nearly unamimous agreement from the House and Senate. We have 75,000 voters who agree based on the issue on our July 2012 ballot titled "non-binding advisory refendum." That's 62% of our county! Please support and consider co-sponoring this bill. Thanks.
