Alert: Say “No” To Cell Towers Outside Your Window

The telecom industry is hard at work re-introducing their bills in this new Congress to take away your local control on where to place cell towers, which means they can place them next to your home, school and business, and where your children play, without your consent.

Problems: from depreciating property values to creating a toxic zone of cascading health effects from radio frequency (RF) radiation.

Your US Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX 2nd District) is critically important as he re-introduced a bill to install wireless antennas on any structure (buildings, schools, cell towers, etc.) without your consent – HR 339. This was part of HR 3557 from last Congress to take away virtually all local control over the placement of cell towers, also likely to be re-introduced soon. He is on the Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee of the House Energy & Commerce Committee.

We need your help to set up a meeting with the office of Rep. Dan Crenshaw. Here’s what you can do:
