President Trump: The Executive Order That Will Restore Science, Freedom, and Our Children’s Health

Mr. President, it is time to address one of the most egregious betrayals of the American people—a betrayal that stems from a broken regulatory framework, unconstitutional laws, and unscientific safety standards that have left our children vulnerable to harm. The SAR guidelines, enforced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), are not only unscientific—they are legally untouchable under Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This is rubbish. There is no evidence—and never has been—that these thermal-only guidelines protect human health.

This is a crisis that demands your immediate attention. The National Toxicology Program (NTP), the only federally funded study investigating the health effects of RF radiation, was shut down despite finding clear evidence of cancer. Its findings were later confirmed by the Ramazzini Institute and thousands of other studies documenting harm at levels well below the FCC’s outdated safety limits. Yet Section 704 ensures that Americans cannot even question these guidelines.

We are calling on you, Mr. President, to issue an executive order that will:

  1. Repeal Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which silences communities and protects corporate profits at the expense of public health.
  2. Overhaul the FCC’s SAR guidelines, replacing the thermal-only standard with science-based limits developed by independent doctors and scientists.
  3. Restore funding to the National Toxicology Program, ensuring that Public Law 90-602—the 1968 law mandating ongoing radiation research—is enforced.

This is not just about fixing broken policies. This is about saving lives, protecting our children, and ensuring that science—not industry opinions—guides public health policy.

SAR Guidelines: The Safety Standard Without Science

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) guidelines, enforced by the FCC, are supposed to protect Americans from the dangers of radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Instead, they are a relic of outdated thinking and industry influence. These guidelines measure the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy, but they only consider thermal effects—the idea that harm only occurs if radiation heats tissue. This assumption is scientifically indefensible.

The Truth About SAR Guidelines

  1. No Scientific Basis
    SAR guidelines were developed in the 1990s by industry engineers, not independent scientists or medical experts. These engineers relied on military research from the 1950s and 1960s, which focused on preventing thermal burns—not long-term health effects like cancer, DNA damage, or neurological disorders.

    There was never any evidence to suggest that a thermal-only guideline would protect people. The FCC adopted this standard without any independent verification, leaving the health of millions in the hands of engineers’ opinions, not science.

  2. Unrealistic Testing Conditions
    SAR guidelines are based on lab tests that do not reflect real-world use. Devices are tested at a distance from the body, but in reality, people carry phones in their pockets or use them pressed against their heads. This means actual exposure levels often exceed the limits considered “safe.”
  3. Non-Thermal Effects Ignored
    Decades of research have shown that RF radiation can cause biological harm without heating tissue. These non-thermal effects include:

    • DNA damage
    • Oxidative stress
    • Neurological disruption
    • Increased cancer risk

    Yet SAR guidelines completely ignore these risks, focusing only on whether radiation causes tissue to heat. This narrow focus leaves Americans unprotected from the true dangers of RF exposure.

“The SAR guidelines are not a safety standard—they are a convenience standard. They were designed to protect the wireless industry, not the American people.”
—Dr. Henry Lai, University of Washington

Section 704: An Unconstitutional Gag Order

Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 is the reason Americans are legally barred from questioning the SAR guidelines. This provision prohibits local governments from rejecting cell tower applications based on health concerns, even when credible scientific evidence exists. Its consequences are devastating:

  1. Silencing Communities
    Parents, teachers, and local officials cannot raise health concerns about cell towers near schools, playgrounds, or homes. Even when armed with peer-reviewed studies, their voices are silenced by law.
  2. Forcing Flawed Guidelines on Americans
    Section 704 ensures that the FCC’s outdated SAR guidelines are the law of the land. Communities have no power to demand safer standards, even when research shows the current guidelines are inadequate.
  3. Violating Constitutional Freedoms
    Section 704 is unconstitutional. It violates the First Amendment by silencing public discourse on health risks and the Tenth Amendment by stripping states and local governments of their authority to protect public welfare.

“Section 704 is a gag order designed to protect corporate profits, not people. It’s unconstitutional, unscientific, and it must be repealed.”
—John Coates, Founder of RF Safe

Public Law 90-602: A Mandate Ignored

In 1968, Congress passed Public Law 90-602, the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act. This law was intended to protect Americans from the risks of electronic radiation by:

  • Mandating ongoing research into the biological effects of radiation.
  • Requiring safety standards to be updated based on emerging science.
  • Educating the public about potential risks.

But the federal government has failed to enforce this law. The National Toxicology Program (NTP)—the only federally funded study investigating RF radiation—was shut down despite finding clear evidence of cancer. Its findings were later confirmed by the Ramazzini Institute and thousands of other studies documenting harm at levels well below the FCC’s limits.

The NTP Study: Clear Evidence of Harm

  • Tumors in Rats: The NTP found malignant brain and heart tumors in rats exposed to RF radiation at levels within FCC guidelines.
  • Replicated Findings: The Ramazzini Institute in Italy replicated these results, confirming an increased risk of tumors from low-level radiation exposure.

Shutting down the NTP is a blatant violation of Public Law 90-602. Americans deserve answers—and action.

The Health Crisis Facing America’s Children

The failures of Section 704 and the SAR guidelines are directly linked to the rising rates of neurological disorders among American children. Since the late 1990s, rates of autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities have skyrocketed, and the timeline aligns disturbingly with the explosion of wireless technology.

The Evidence of Harm

  1. Yale Mouse Study: Pregnant mice exposed to cellphone radiation gave birth to offspring with hyperactivity, memory deficits, and ADHD-like symptoms.
  2. Dr. Martin Pall’s Research: RF radiation activates voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), leading to oxidative stress and neural disruption—key factors in autism and ADHD.
  3. BioInitiative Report: Over 1,800 studies document non-thermal effects of RF radiation, including impacts on brain function, gene expression, and immune system health.

Children are uniquely vulnerable to RF radiation due to their developing brains, thinner skulls, and longer cumulative exposure. Yet Section 704 ensures they remain unprotected.

“My daughter sits 465 feet from a cell tower, and I am legally barred from even mentioning health risks in a public hearing. That’s the America Section 704 created. President Trump, we need your help to fix it.”
—John Coates

President Trump: An Executive Order to Protect Our Children

Mr. President, you have the power to correct these injustices and restore science and freedom to the American people. By signing an executive order, you can:

  1. Repeal Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
  2. Replace SAR guidelines with science-based standards developed by independent doctors and scientists.
  3. Restore funding to the National Toxicology Program and enforce Public Law 90-602.

This is not just about correcting past mistakes. It is about giving future generations a chance to grow up healthy and free from unnecessary harm.

Conclusion: A Call to Action

Mr. President, the SAR guidelines are a sham. Section 704 is unconstitutional. The shutdown of the NTP is a violation of federal law. The American people deserve better—and you have the power to fix this.

Repeal Section 704. Overhaul SAR. Restore Public Law 90-602.

Do this, and you will be remembered not just as a leader, but as a protector of America’s children.

For our children. For science. For the future.
