Stand Up Against the Wireless Takeover – Oppose H.R. 4141

Federal bill H.R. 4141 is the new pro-wireless industry bill introduced in Congress. This bill aims to eliminate key environmental and historic preservation safeguards required by the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act, which are designed to protect people and the environment.

In addition to the health, privacy and safety risks, wireless technology harms our natural environment. A growing body of science demonstrates these harms to plants, animals, insects, bacteria, and the atmosphere, including:

• Biological damage, adverse effects on growth rate and shorter life spans in plants;
• Irreversible infertility, increased mortality rates and altered genetic expression in the brain in animals;
• Colony deterioration, decline in egg-laying rates and reduced motor activity in insects;
• Alteration of growth rates in bacteria;
• And a quintillion (1018) times increase in planetary radiofrequency (RF) radiation (compared to natural levels) due to the exponential increase in wireless technologies and infrastructure.

Despite this, H.R. 4141 removes critical environmental impact review requirements and facilitates the rapid build-out of wireless infrastructure throughout the country.

Eliminating these environmental safeguards may have unpredictable and catastrophic consequences on both nature and humanity since wireless exposure is shown to decline bee populations – one of the most important pollinators in our food chain.

We must stop this advancement of corporate interests at the expense of people and the environment. Help us kill this bill by telling your elected officials to oppose H.R. 4141, the Broadband for Americans through Responsible Streamlining Act.
