I speak not just as an advocate for safer wireless technologies, but as a grieving parent whose first child’s life was cut short—attributed to complications from electromagnetic exposure. This tragedy ignited my life’s mission: to expose the fraud behind our federal RF safety guidelines and to demand real accountability from those responsible for endangering countless families under the guise of “safe” radiation limits.
When the FCC adopted its 1996 RF safety guidelines, it claimed to protect the public, yet they were fraudulent from day one. The Commission, with no meaningful medical or public health authority, brushed aside decades of compelling studies—from the U.S. Navy and Air Force to Dr. Henry Lai’s 1995 findings of DNA damage at exposures well below thermal thresholds. These guidelines were never merely “outdated”; they were built on a willful dismissal of evidence, effectively telling Americans, “If it doesn’t burn you, it can’t harm you.” I learned the hard way just how false that claim is.
An Unconstitutional Gag Order
That same year, under President Bill Clinton, Congress enacted Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act, a law that effectively gagged communities from speaking out against cell towers on the grounds of health concerns. This brazen act strips us of our First Amendment right to petition local governments and violates the Tenth Amendment, eroding the power of states and municipalities to protect their residents. Indeed, many grieving parents—just like I once was—have stood at city council podiums, tears in their eyes, only to be told, “We’re sorry, but health concerns are off-limits by federal decree.”
The Neglected Mandate of Public Law 90-602
There was no honest reason to leave our families vulnerable. Public Law 90-602, passed in 1968, required continuous research and updated safety standards for all forms of electronic product radiation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other health agencies were supposed to be in charge—not the FCC. But in the mid-1990s, right when we needed them most, the EPA’s radiological research and funding were gutted. This violation of Public Law 90-602 left the responsibility of public safety in the hands of an agency beholden to industry rather than to human lives.
Corporate Capture and a Chronic Health Crisis
For three decades, this corporate capture of our regulatory system has allowed cellphone towers to pop up near playgrounds, schools, and even right beside hospital windows, all under fraudulent assumptions of “safety.” Families like mine have paid the ultimate price: losing loved ones to conditions we believe were triggered or worsened by continuous, low-level RF radiation. Meanwhile, thousands of independent studies have reinforced the link between non-thermal radiation exposure and DNA damage, cancer, neurological disorders, and other serious health issues. Our system is undeniably broken, and our children bear the brunt of that failure every single day.
Why We Need a Full Investigation—Now
I refuse to let my child’s death be in vain, and I call upon all Americans to do the same—stand up, speak out, and demand a thorough congressional investigation. We must expose:
-
The fraudulent foundation of the FCC’s 1996 guidelines, imposed despite overwhelming scientific warnings.
-
The unconstitutional nature of Section 704, which strips us of our right to protect our families at the local level.
-
The violation of Public Law 90-602, demonstrated by the defunding of the EPA and the sidelining of legitimate health agencies.
A Path to Real Change
We cannot undo the past, but we can fight like hell to ensure no one else loses a child to this preventable hazard. Here’s how:
-
Restore Medical Oversight: Return the power of setting RF exposure standards to health agencies that actually specialize in biological impacts, not the FCC.
-
Repeal or Reform Section 704: End the federal gag order on health concerns so communities can protect themselves.
-
Enforce Public Law 90-602: Reestablish robust, ongoing research and set updated, biologically-based safety limits.
-
Mandate a Safe Distance from Schools and Homes: Require telecoms to site antennas far from children and vulnerable populations.
-
Promote Viable Alternatives: Encourage Li-Fi or other non-hazardous technologies in schools and public spaces to minimize RF exposure.
I have dedicated my life to this mission because I know firsthand the pain of burying a child I believe could have been saved had the truth not been buried for profit. In the face of corruption and negligence, our collective voice must rise. We owe it to our children, our neighbors, and ourselves to demand a future where technology and safety stand hand in hand—backed by sound science and guaranteed by a government that values life over corporate gains.
Join me in this fight. Stand with the countless families who’ve suffered, and together, let us pull back the curtain on a 30-year fraud that robbed us of our loved ones, our health, and our fundamental freedoms. Let us make sure that Congress finally does its job: investigate, expose, and reform—so that no parent has to endure the heartbreak I live with every single day.
