An Open Letter to President Donald Trump

Restore the Rule of Law and Protect Americans from Wireless Radiation Risks

Dear President Trump,

During your presidency, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released the results of its historic 10-year research into the health effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation. These findings, which showed clear evidence of cancer in laboratory animals exposed to RF radiation, marked a turning point in public health research. They validated decades of independent studies and underscored the urgent need to update our outdated wireless safety standards.

Yet today, the critical work started under your leadership has come to a grinding halt. The Biden administration’s decision to cut funding for the NTP has effectively ended this vital research, leaving the public unprotected and in the dark about the dangers of RF radiation. This is more than a failure of leadership—it is a violation of Public Law 90-602, the First and Tenth Amendments, and the trust placed in our federal agencies to protect the American people.

We write to urge you to take action. By restoring NTP funding, enforcing the mandates of Public Law 90-602, and addressing the constitutional violations embedded in Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, you have the opportunity to reaffirm America’s commitment to public health, constitutional freedoms, and the rule of law.


The NTP Research: A Critical Initiative That Biden Abandoned

The National Toxicology Program’s 10-year study, initiated under the Department of Health and Human Services, was designed to evaluate the health risks of RF radiation exposure. Its findings, released during your presidency, were groundbreaking:

  • “Clear evidence” of cancer: Male rats exposed to RF radiation developed malignant gliomas (brain tumors) and schwannomas (heart tumors).
  • Validation of non-thermal effects: The study showed biological harm at levels well below the threshold for tissue heating, undermining the FCC’s outdated thermal-only safety guidelines.

The release of these findings positioned the U.S. as a global leader in RF health research. However, under the Biden administration, funding for the NTP was quietly cut, halting further studies that could have clarified the risks for humans—especially vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women.

This decision wasn’t just a failure to prioritize public health—it was a violation of Public Law 90-602, which explicitly mandates federal agencies to conduct ongoing research into the safety of electronic product radiation and to inform the public of its findings.


A Web of Negligence: The FCC, FDA, and the Public Health Crisis

The FCC’s Outdated Guidelines

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not updated its RF safety guidelines since 1996. These guidelines only account for thermal effects—the heating of tissue caused by radiation—ignoring the growing body of evidence for non-thermal effects, such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and neurological impacts.

In 2021, the FCC lost a lawsuit brought by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Environmental Health Trust. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the FCC had failed to:

  • Consider new scientific evidence: The FCC ignored studies showing non-thermal biological effects.
  • Justify its reliance on outdated standards: The 1996 guidelines are based on obsolete science and do not reflect the exponential increase in RF exposure from modern technologies like 5G.

Despite this ruling, the FCC has taken no meaningful action to update its guidelines. This regulatory failure leaves Americans exposed to potentially harmful levels of RF radiation, with no legal recourse to address these risks.

The FDA’s Failure to Enforce Public Law 90-602

The Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-602) mandates the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to:

  • Conduct and support research on the safety of electronic product radiation.
  • Inform the public of any potential hazards.

The FDA has failed to uphold this mandate. Instead of using the NTP’s findings to update safety standards or fund additional research, the agency has remained silent. This failure has created a regulatory vacuum that allows the FCC to rely on outdated guidelines, further endangering public health.


Section 704: A Constitutional Crisis

At the heart of this issue lies Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, a law that strips local governments of their ability to regulate wireless infrastructure based on health concerns. This law:

  • Preempts local authority: Local governments cannot deny permits for cell towers or other wireless facilities based on environmental or health risks, even if credible scientific evidence exists.
  • Silences public discourse: Courts are barred from considering health evidence in legal disputes over wireless infrastructure.

Violations of the Constitution

Section 704 directly violates the First and Tenth Amendments:

  1. First Amendment: By barring health arguments from public hearings and legal challenges, Section 704 effectively silences citizens who wish to petition their government for redress of grievances.
  2. Tenth Amendment: The Constitution reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or the people. Zoning, land use, and public health have traditionally fallen under local jurisdiction. Section 704 overrides this principle, imposing federal authority in a way that undermines the rights of states and local communities.

The result is a system where telecom companies can place cell towers near schools, homes, and playgrounds without facing meaningful opposition, even when there is evidence that these facilities pose health risks.


A Call to Action: Restore Research, Accountability, and Rights

President Trump, your leadership is needed now more than ever. The Biden administration’s failure to fund the NTP, update RF safety guidelines, and enforce Public Law 90-602 has created a perfect storm of regulatory neglect and constitutional violations. Here’s what must be done:

a) Restore Funding for the NTP

  • Why it matters: The NTP was on the cusp of answering critical questions about RF radiation’s long-term effects. Cutting funding denies the public access to life-saving knowledge.
  • Action needed: Allocate federal funding to restart and expand NTP studies, focusing on real-world exposures, vulnerable populations, and cumulative effects.

b) Update FCC Safety Guidelines

  • Why it matters: The 1996 guidelines are obsolete and fail to reflect current scientific understanding.
  • Action needed: Direct the FCC to collaborate with independent scientists to create updated, evidence-based guidelines that account for non-thermal effects.

c) Repeal or Amend Section 704

  • Why it matters: This law violates constitutional principles and prevents local communities from protecting their residents.
  • Action needed: Work with Congress to repeal Section 704 or amend it to restore local authority over wireless infrastructure decisions.

d) Enforce Public Law 90-602

  • Why it matters: The FDA has a legal obligation to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure and inform the public of potential risks.
  • Action needed: Hold the FDA accountable for fulfilling its mandate by funding independent research, issuing updated guidelines, and educating the public.

Protect Americans and Uphold the Rule of Law

President Trump, your administration set the stage for groundbreaking advancements in public health research. The NTP’s findings, released under your leadership, offered a path forward for understanding and mitigating the risks of RF radiation. The Biden administration’s decision to halt this research, combined with the failures of the FCC and FDA, has left Americans unprotected and disenfranchised.

You have the opportunity to correct these failures and reaffirm America’s commitment to public health, scientific integrity, and constitutional freedoms. By restoring NTP funding, enforcing Public Law 90-602, and addressing the constitutional violations of Section 704, you can lead the charge to protect Americans from the risks posed by outdated policies and neglected research.

The time to act is now. The American people deserve leadership that prioritizes their health, their rights, and their future.

Sincerely,
RF Safe
