Sample Text for Comment:

I strongly urge you not to allow adoption of the FCC’s proposed rules in Docket 25-276, misleadingly titled “Build America: Eliminating Barriers to Wireless Deployments.” This initiative is not about “building America” — it is about stripping away local rights, eliminating public participation, and giving the wireless industry near-total control over the placement of cell towers.

If adopted, these rules would:

Force automatic approval of towers after 150 days, even if there is strong community opposition.
Block local governments from requiring independent experts to verify FCC radiation compliance, leaving the industry to self-certify.
Eliminate vital community protections by prohibiting consideration of aesthetics, property values, and historic preservation.
Undermine property rights by driving down home values without recourse or compensation.
Silence residents by removing public hearings, conditional and special use permits, and local decision-making.

These rules would allow towers to be placed virtually anywhere, with no say from the people who must live with them. This is unacceptable.

I respectfully call on both the FCC and Congress to reject these rules and preserve the authority of local governments to protect the health, safety, and character of their communities.
