Why Fry?

Please attend the Early Neighborhood Notification Meeting this MONDAY, MAY 21, at Warehouse 21, 5:30 to 7:30 pm. It is fine to bring your children–and to be late.

Principal Michael Lee, representatives from the Governor’s Commission on Disability, and DOCTORS W.A.R.N., comprised of 90 plus local health care professionals, are all greatly concerned about the microwave radiation effects on children exposed to a tower so close to Gonzales Community School.

AND Please call Burger King’s polite Customer Reps at the toll free number: 1-866-394-2493 to vote NO on this cell tower.

Why would you attend AT & T’s Early Neighborhood Notification Meeting, May 21, at Warehouse 21 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM?

Because Burger King, located at the corner of West Alameda and St. Francis, has applied to lease to a 64 foot cell phone tower. The only problem with that is that just a few strides away is the Gonzales Community School, housing K through 8th grades.

FCC specialist Attorney Andrew Campanelli, who represented the “Moms of Merrick” and groups in other communities opposing cell towers, says safety questions persist about cell phone towers, especially near schools.

He said in Bayville, five children who attended school 50 feet from cell antennas on a water tower have been diagnosed with cancer or leukemia and three have died….

As you may know, our Santa Fe City Council, our Assistant City Attorney, Kelly A. Brannan, our Presidents of the Neighborhood Associations, and FCC Specialist Andrew Campanelli, provided by DOCTORS W.A.R. N. a group of ninety-plus medical doctors and healthcare professionals concerned by the research on microwave radiation dangers, all worked hard to pass a more protective TeleCom Ordinance November 25, 2011.

Across the US, such groups are alarmed that when Obama signed the the Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act, it contained a sneaky clause #6409 empowering cellphone companies to ramp up radiation/power levels beyond local ordinance levels and to rent out space on towers to multiple antennas upon all pre-existing wireless installations (antennas or towers)–and local community governments cannot stop it.

(CNN) — Radiation from cell phones, WiFi, cordless phones, and baby monitors can possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists cell phone use in the same “carcinogenic hazard” category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.

The type of radiation coming out of a cell phone is called non-ionizing. It is not like an X-ray, but more like a very low-powered microwave oven.

“What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain,” Black said. “So in addition to leading to a development of cancer and tumors, there could be a whole host of other effects like cognitive memory function, since the memory temporal lobes are where we hold our cell phones.”

December 8, the City Council will be voting on proposed revisions to the city’s appeals ordinance. These revisions affect our ability to appeal antenna and tower approvals. Constitutional questions were raised about the public’s right to due process, because the NEW ORDINANCE would do things like ELIMINATE THE RIGHT TO APPEAL LAND USE DECISIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL. It would also have final decisions on some appeals made by the City Attorney without a hearing, which might be a violation of state law.

The continued discussion and vote will take place during the evening session, and I believe any person may speak about this during “Petitions From the Floor” which will take place first, at 7 p.m.
