Email from Childrens Health Defense Your voice is needed now.     Dear John, Congress is advancing six bills — HR 1343, 1588, 1665, 1681, 1731, and 6046 — that would greatly expand federal control over wireless deployment and limit the ability of local governments to regulate the placement of wireless facilities. Tell Congress to amend these bills now. Your voice can help stop a nationwide push to force more cell towers into our neighborhoods. Take Action As written, these bills would make it easier for telecom companies to place cell towers, antennas, and related equipment directly in residential neighborhoods — near homes, schools, and children’s bedrooms — with little local oversight. Take action and ask Congress to amend all six bills so they do NOT apply to applications for wireless facilities or to the wired infrastructure used to deploy them. Without these amendments, the bills would: Fast-track the build out of wireless infrastructure into communities Override local zoning, planning, and safety authority Silence community input Expand federal preemption far beyond what exists today Local governments are best positioned to protect residents, property values, and community character. These bills must be amended to preserve that authority. Thank you for standing up for local control and responsible siting.
