MAGA and MAHA: Repeal Section 704, Restore Constitutional Freedoms, and Protect America’s Children from RF Radiation
Distinguished patriots, champions of American sovereignty, and guardians of our children’s future:
We gather at a moment where constitutional principle converges with scientific urgency. Two movements—MAGA and MAHA—proudly claim to stand for the revitalization of American greatness and the safeguarding of American health. Yet, in their impassioned discourses, they have largely overlooked the most egregious legislative anomaly in modern telecom policy: Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Until this silent tyrant is confronted, neither America’s greatness nor its health can be fully realized.
I. Section 704: The Unseen Betrayal of Our Constitutional Ideals
1. A Federal Gag Order on Public Health
Passed under the Clinton administration, Section 704 prohibits local governments from rejecting cell tower placements on health or environmental grounds. It effectively silences parents, school boards, and municipalities that might otherwise question the safety of having powerful RF (radiofrequency) transmitters near children’s playgrounds, homes, or community spaces. This is not “federal streamlining”—it is an unconstitutional muzzle, forcibly stripping citizens and local bodies of their First Amendment and Tenth Amendment rights.
2. An Inversion of American Sovereignty
America’s founding ethos insists on checks and balances—federal authority is tempered by state and local autonomy. Section 704 annihilates this principle, preventing localities from exercising their rightful power to protect public health. This is precisely the sort of federal overreach that MAGA and MAHA, by their own declarations, claim to oppose. Yet, how can we affirm states’ rights in most policy domains but meekly submit to an archaic 1996 law that shields corporate profits at the expense of parental rights to ensure their children’s safety?
II. The Scientific Imperative: RF Radiation and the Children We Fail to Protect
1. A Crisis of Outdated Safety Guidelines
We persist in using FCC guidelines rooted in 1950s–1960s radar research—focused solely on “thermal” (heating) effects—despite decades of peer-reviewed studies demonstrating non-thermal biological harm. Institutions like the National Toxicology Program (NTP) have revealed links between RF exposure and cancer, while the BioInitiative Report calls for cell towers to be at least 1,500 feet from schools—a stark contrast to the unconstrained development we see today, often mere yards from a child’s classroom.
2. Unique Vulnerability of Children
Children—like seven-year-old Melanie Coates in Seminole, Florida—bear the brunt of this misguided policy. With their thinner skulls and developing nervous systems, they absorb RF radiation more deeply. Their longer lifetime exposure translates to exponentially higher risk. How can any movement proclaiming “family values” ignore a scenario where children unknowingly sit in the epicenter of invisible microwave energy that even conservative bodies recommend should be significantly distanced?
3. The Bioelectric Frontier
Modern research goes beyond simplistic “ionizing vs. non-ionizing” dichotomies, revealing that life is fundamentally bioelectric. Scholars like Dr. Paul Héroux and Dr. Martin Pall have illustrated how chronic RF exposure can trigger oxidative stress, DNA breaks, and neurological disruptions. The question is no longer “does non-ionizing radiation do anything?” but rather “how long will we ignore the accumulating evidence?”
III. Why MAGA and MAHA Must Unite in Calling for #TrumpRepeal704
1. Constitutional Coherence
If we truly wish to “make America great again” and “healthy again,” we must eradicate a law that brazenly defies the Bill of Rights. MAGA and MAHA can no longer remain silent while Section 704 compels communities to violate their own protective instincts and override legitimate scientific concern. Our Founders did not envision a federal apparatus that compels you to accept a cell tower next to your child’s school—without recourse—for the sake of corporate expediency.
2. A Moral and Parental Imperative
Consider the profound moral contradiction: We champion local autonomy in selecting school curriculums or regulating local commerce, yet we prohibit raising health-based objections about a wireless tower’s placement? This is a direct assault on the concept of parental sovereignty. Where is the outcry? If MAGA and MAHA stand for protecting children—whether from ideological influences or health threats—this is the legislative obstruction that must be toppled first.
3. The Trump Factor
President Trump has positioned himself as a disruptor of entrenched corporate interests and a defender of American families. This is the prime opportunity to fulfill that promise: by signing an executive order suspending Section 704’s enforcement and championing a full legislative repeal, President Trump would restore the long-suppressed voice of American communities and re-establish constitutional equilibrium. Indeed, no single executive action would more dramatically reaffirm the rights of parents and local governments to protect their children from unexamined technological expansions.
IV. A Blueprint for True Reform
1. Repeal Section 704: End the Federal Gag Order
- Nullify the prohibition on health-based objections to cell towers.
- Restore the Tenth Amendment by permitting states and municipalities to consider non-thermal biological data when approving or denying infrastructure permits.
2. Enforce Public Law 90-602: Update RF Safety Guidelines
- Mandate modern scientific review of FCC standards, focusing on non-thermal, long-term exposure and cumulative RF fields in real-world environments.
- Require transparency and accountability—leaders at the FCC must be free from telecom industry entanglements and guided by medical science, not engineering assumptions from the mid-20th century.
3. Encourage Safer Technological Alternatives
- Space-Based Broadband and Li-Fi: Advances in satellite-to-cell services and light-based (Li-Fi) communications can reduce or eliminate the need for powerful ground-based towers near schools.
- Foster Innovation, Not Denial: By acknowledging health risks, we push American industry to develop safer, cutting-edge solutions that can dominate the global market—rather than doubling down on 1990s microwave technology.
4. Protecting Children: A National Priority
- Minimum 1,500-Foot Setbacks: Align tower siting with recommendations from the BioInitiative Report and global best practices (as adopted in countries like France and India).
- Real Parental Notification: Require that communities receive scientifically accurate information about non-thermal risks prior to tower approval, especially near child-care facilities.
V. The Call to MAGA and MAHA: Demonstrate Your Authenticity
It is time for MAGA and MAHA to demonstrate their fidelity to constitutionally grounded freedom and family-centered priorities. Repealing Section 704 is not a peripheral legal fix—it is the fulcrum upon which American families regain their rightful voice in defending their children from plausible health threats.
To remain silent on this matter is to tacitly endorse the corporate stranglehold that has been weakening our constitutional protections for decades. To take action is to stand for everything MAGA and MAHA profess: reclaiming local authority, protecting family values, and forging a healthier, freer, and more truly American future.
VI. Final Words: An Inflection Point for America’s Greatness and Health
We face a defining question: Will America continue to hide behind a Clinton-era legislative artifact, ignoring the pleas of parents like those of seven-year-old Melanie Coates, whose classroom sits a mere 465 feet from a massive cell tower? Or will we seize this juncture, insisting our leadership enact the reforms that reflect our highest constitutional ideals and the most current scientific understanding?
MAGA, MAHA—you have anchored your movements in the principle that America must break free from outmoded systems that harm its people. Section 704 is the embodiment of exactly such an outmoded system. Let this be the fight that solidifies your claim to authenticity. Let this be the moment you demand #TrumpRepeal704, restore parental and community authority, and usher in an era where connectivity and technology coexist with the inalienable right to health and liberty.
Our children deserve no less. Our Constitution demands no less. Let history record whether MAGA and MAHA rose to defend the innocent or allowed a corporate-engineered law to trample the American dream of freedom, health, and integrity. The choice is self-evident—and urgent.
