Date ��,
I am writing to voice STRONG support for this resolution.
Technology is great! I couldn't imagine life without a washing machine and dryer, or the refrigerator, or the toaster
oven. These conveniences speak for themselves.
When it comes to cell towers and wireless devices however, we need to stop and wonder what we are giving up for
these conveniences. The more I research the more I come to understand that we are losing more than we are
gaining. According to expert scientists who have bothered to look into the complicated data,they are telling us what
industry isn't.
Were you aware that firefighters have passed a bill to halt any cell towers built near their stations because they found
they were dysfunctional and unable to provide their life saving duties when cell towers were put up near their
stations. That was with the 2G wireless technology.
Dr. Sharon Goldberg, is an internal medicine doctor with over twenty some years of experience. She states the
following in her testimony against 5G:
"Wireless radiation has biological effects PERIOD. This is no longer a subject of debate when you look at PubMed
and the peer reviewed literature.
PubMed is the National Library of Medicine.
These effects are seen in all life forms -plants, animals, insects, microbes. In humans we have clear evidence of
cancer now. There is no question.
There is evidence of DNA damage, cardiomyopathy, which is the precursor to heart failure and neuropsychiatric
effects.
5G is not a conversation about whether these biological effects exist. They clearly do. 5G is a conversation about
unsustainable health care expenditures. Why do I say this?
We have been sitting on the evidence of electromagnetic radiation and chronic disease for decades, and now we're
seeing all these epidemics.
Diabetes is the first epidemic and the numbers are scary. 1 in 3 children will become diabetic in their
lifetime. Wireless radiation and other electromagnetic fields have clearly associated with elevated blood sugar and
diabetes.
The closer you live to a cell tower the higher your blood glucose. So the idea of placing small cells closer to homes
and bedrooms scientifically is dangerous.

I was shocked to find that in the labs, the way they created a model of diabetes in rats for purposes of testing drugs
and such, is by exposing them to 2.4GHz, which.by the way is the low end frequency of 4G. And this isn't even long
term exposure. The huge problem with diabetes is really chronic kidney disease.
Most studies are only citing a single source of exposure, like one cell phone, but what is the true level of exposure in
any given day? It's cell phones, multiple wireless networks, WiFi's, smart meters, cell towers. It's a sandwich effect
and it all adds up.
We need to examine these epidemics in the context of EMF exposures. We need to start measuring the amount of
radiation our bodies...are absorbing:. It's'a.serious occupational public safety and personal safety hazard. It's
irresponsible to be even talking about rolling out a new UNTESTED technology when we're not even measuring
what our current exposures from the current networks!"

I STRONGLY support the halting of 5G rollout until it has been proven to be neutral to health.
Thank you.
