The federal government is pushing 5G on a \u201cfast-track\u201d, which could happen by summer, in San Diego County and wherever you live! There is vast consensus that 5G wireless emissions will be dangerous to humans, your pets, animals, insects, and plants \u2013 but that hasn\u2019t stopped the federal and local governments from continuing to plan the installment of 5G. The driving force seems to be the greed and clout of the telecommunications industry.

Glowing descriptions of \u201cequal access\u201d to wireless completely ignore the warnings of scientists about the hazards of microwave and millimeter wave RF radiation for all biological beings, based collectively, on tens of thousands of studies. Use of all possible places to install 5G in a vast network, including federal lands is also presented.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wearetheevidence.org\/finally-5g-health-effects-mentioned-in-senate-commerce-committee-hearing\/\">Here is a MUST-READ description of the hearing by an anti-wireless activist, Dafna Tachover.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0She says Senator Blumenthal (CT) asked questions about health and safety of 5G and revealed the FCC has not satisfactorily responded to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.electrosmogprevention.org\/public-health-alert\/health-alerts-5g-small-wireless-cells\/senator-blumenthal-rep-eshoo-question-fcc-on-5g-safety\/\">his Dec. 2018 demands for FCC\u2019s 5G health and safety data<\/a>.

You should get a department or a document outlining your city\u2019s wireless guidelines\/rules. It is important not to wait till your City Council or County Supervisors are voting on ordinance changes.
