I am signing this petition because I understand that Blaine County Commissioners and/or our City Council Members are set to make a decision regarding installation of 5G small cells in our County.

My family and I absolutely do not want this 5G technology outside our home until it has been proven safe! Scientists are warning that the Millimeter Microwave Wave (MMW) frequencies to be used with 5G have proven especially dangerous in experiments. We should be reducing our exposure to microwave radiation not increasing it by putting it up and down every street!

Many thousands of doctors and scientists, and organizations for a healthy environment have come out against 5G and/or increasing exposures to microwave radiation. Among these are:

• World Health Organization,
• Sierra Club,
• CA Dept of Public Health,
• American Academy of Pediatrics, and
• American Academy of Environmental Medicine

This is untested technology, with millimeter waves only previously used for military crowd control. Even industry leaders admit there’s been NO SAFETY TESTING!

I don’t want myself, my family, or this beautiful community to be used as guinea pigs in an experiment! That is illegal, according to the Nuremberg Code. We work hard to stay healthy and do not want to be sickened by 5G on our street or near our home.

Other cities and counties and members of Congress are fighting the FCC orders related to fast-tracking 5G and I want our county to do the same. There is no excuse to do otherwise. The current County ordinances took a lot of time, effort, and legal work to gain. Don’t throw them out!

Keep our ordinances limiting cellular antennas and towers to commercial areas! Keep 5G entirely out of our community until it has been proven safe! We will be watching exactly how you handle this, and our votes and support for you in future elections it will be impacted.

Please…

• Don't harm my family!
• Protect the public health!
• Represent residents, not for-profit corporations who don't care and put profits over people.
