MUST DO TODAY: tell the FCC not to allow 5G antennas on private homes

Today is the very last day to submit comments to the FCC 
Dear friends,

The FCC is considering a change in one of its rules (the "OTARD" rule) which would allow wireless companies to place powerful 5G antennas on the top of private homes in your neighborhood, bypassing any local government oversight – even the tiny bit of local control still left.

This OUTRAGEOUS plan by the wireless companies and their friends at the FCC is completely unacceptable. It violates not only the original intent of the OTARD rule, but basic principles of fairness.

It will pit neighbor against neighbor and divide neighborhoods and communities.

THIS CANNOT BE TOLERATED. PLEASE WRITE TO THE FCC TODAY BY MIDNIGHT EDT.  IT'S THE LAST DAY YOU CAN SUBMIT A COMMENT.
Here's how to submit comments:

1. Go to https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express

2. In the first box, type 19-71. This is the FCC docket number.

3. Add your name, email and address.

4. In the box marked "Brief Comments" add your own comments and submit. 
What to write? Here are three main points you can use to get started:
1. The OTARD rule should not be changed to allow wireless companies to put their 5G antennas on private homes. 
2. The FCC should not be using taxpayer dollars for the benefit of wireless companies, pushing a new technology that has never been proven safe. 
3. The FCC's wireless radiation exposure guidelines are based on research from the 1980's, and only consider thermal effects, not the biological effects documented in recent studies.
