Imagine a world where the government sets laws to protect public health, but the very agencies tasked with enforcing those laws refuse to act. Imagine outdated rules from 1996 determining the safety of technologies that didn’t even exist back then, while parents are powerless to challenge these standards. Now imagine that your child’s health—and future—hangs in the balance.
This isn’t a dystopian nightmare. It’s the reality we live in today, a reality shaped by decades of systemic neglect from the FCC, FDA, Congress, and a series of laws and policies that prioritize corporate interests over public safety.
If we don’t act now, we are leaving our children to bear the consequences—potential neurological damage, cancer risks, and a future filled with unanswered questions about the long-term effects of unchecked radiation exposure. We must demand change.
How Laws Like Public Law 90-602 and Section 704 Were Created
What Is Public Law 90-602?
Public Law 90-602, also known as the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, was enacted to protect the public from unnecessary exposure to electronic product radiation. This law:
- Mandates the FDA to research and regulate electronic product radiation, including RF radiation from devices like cell phones and Wi-Fi routers.
- Requires public awareness: The FDA must ensure the public is informed about radiation risks and safety.
The goal was clear: to safeguard Americans from emerging electronic technologies as they became more prevalent.
But today, the FDA is failing to follow this law. By not conducting or funding adequate research into RF radiation, and by ignoring critical findings like those from the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the FDA is in violation of its legal mandate.
What Is Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act?
Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. Its purpose was to accelerate the rollout of wireless infrastructure, ensuring rapid deployment of cell towers and other wireless technologies. However, this law came with a massive trade-off:
- Local governments were stripped of their authority to deny cell tower permits based on health concerns.
- Courts were barred from considering health-related objections to cell tower placements.
Section 704 enforces outdated FCC guidelines from 1996, guidelines that only consider thermal effects of RF radiation (tissue heating) and ignore non-thermal effects like DNA damage, oxidative stress, and neurological impacts.
This law directly undermines:
- The First Amendment: By silencing public health concerns, it prevents communities from petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.
- The Tenth Amendment: By overriding local zoning authority, it strips states and municipalities of their constitutional rights.
How Laws Are Enacted, Enforced, and Changed
1. How Are Laws Created?
- Congress drafts and debates a bill: Both the House and Senate must approve it.
- The President signs it into law: Once signed, the law becomes enforceable.
- Some laws delegate authority to federal agencies, like the FDA or FCC, to create regulations or oversee enforcement.
2. How Are Laws Enforced?
Federal agencies like the FDA and FCC are tasked with enforcing specific laws. For example:
- The FDA is legally bound by Public Law 90-602 to research and regulate electronic radiation.
- The FCC is supposed to ensure that its guidelines are updated and based on current science.
When agencies fail to act, they are in violation of the law, just as an individual would be if they broke a traffic rule.
3. How Can Laws Be Changed?
- Congressional action: Congress can amend or repeal laws like Section 704.
- Executive action: A President can push for legislative changes, appoint agency heads who prioritize public health, or issue executive orders to spur regulatory updates.
Why the Current System Is a Public Health Disaster
1. The FDA Is Breaking the Law
Public Law 90-602 is crystal clear: the FDA must research and inform the public about radiation risks. Yet, the agency has allowed RF safety research to stagnate, ignoring critical findings from:
- The National Toxicology Program (NTP), which found clear evidence that RF radiation causes cancer in lab animals.
- The BioInitiative Report, which compiled over 1,800 studies showing non-thermal biological effects of RF radiation.
The FDA’s failure to act is more than neglect—it’s a violation of federal law. If everyday citizens are punished for breaking speed limits, why isn’t the FDA held accountable for breaking its mandate?
2. The FCC’s Outdated Guidelines
The FCC’s 1996 guidelines are hopelessly outdated. These standards:
- Assume phones are used with a 5-15mm separation distance, not accounting for modern usage patterns like phones in pockets or against the body.
- Only consider thermal effects, ignoring decades of research on non-thermal effects.
A 2021 court ruling demanded the FCC update these guidelines, yet two years later, nothing has changed.
3. Section 704 Silences Parents and Communities
Section 704 forces unsafe FCC standards on the public while denying parents like me the right to protest. My daughter’s school has a cell tower just 465 feet from her desk, far closer than the 500-meter buffer recommended by research. Yet, I cannot demand its relocation because Section 704 prohibits health-based objections.
This law is unconstitutional, anti-parent, and anti-health.
The Danger to Our Children
The systemic failures of the FDA, FCC, and Congress aren’t just bureaucratic oversights—they are putting our children at risk. Studies show that RF radiation exposure may contribute to:
- Neurological damage: Impaired memory, attention, and behavioral issues.
- Cancer risks: Increased likelihood of brain tumors and other malignancies.
- Reproductive harm: Effects on fertility and fetal development.
Do parents really want a future where their grandchildren can’t look them in the eyes because of neurological damage caused by unchecked radiation exposure?
Why President Trump Must Act
This isn’t just about laws—it’s about leadership. Only the President can drive the federal action needed to fix this broken system.
President Trump has the power to:
- Repeal or amend Section 704: Restore local authority and constitutional rights.
- Force the FCC to act: Demand updated safety guidelines based on modern science.
- Hold the FDA accountable: Enforce Public Law 90-602 and restart RF safety research.
This crisis didn’t start under Trump, but it can end under Trump.
What You Can Do
Change starts with us. Here’s how you can help:
- Contact President Trump
- Write, tweet, or post on Truth Social, demanding he repeal Section 704, update FCC guidelines, and enforce Public Law 90-602.
- Spread the Word
- Share this blog with your family, friends, and community.
- Educate others about the systemic failures putting our children at risk.
- Engage Local Leaders
- Push your city council to pass resolutions demanding federal action.
Conclusion: Enough Is Enough
For 30 years, the U.S. government has failed to protect its citizens—particularly its children—from the dangers of RF radiation. The FDA ignores the law. The FCC enforces outdated standards. Section 704 silences communities. And Congress allows this broken system to persist.
It’s time for President Trump to lead the charge. It’s time for parents to demand action. It’s time to prioritize public health over corporate profit.
The safety of our children depends on it.
