Subject: We MUST stop 5G now.

To:  State Senators and Representatives in the Maryland General Assembly

From:  Ronald M. Powell, Ph.D.

Subject:  We MUST stop 5G now.

Your actions on 5G in the next session of the Maryland General Assembly will impact your constituents for decades to come.  5G is the "Fifth Generation" of cellular technology, already being installed in parts of Maryland.  5G was conceived by the telecom industry as its next source of profit.  5G requires placing cell towers up and down residential and business streets, right in front of homes and businesses, and spaced just several hundred feet apart.  Owners of homes and businesses have no say about tower locations.  These towers rise above the street lights and compete with the trees on our streets.  Communities fortunate enough to have underground utilities will no longer be able to make that claim.  Property values in all communities with such cell towers will be depreciated by them.  And most important of all:  The radiofrequency radiation from these 5G cell towers, delivered up close and personal to every resident 24 hours per day, will have a broad range of adverse health effects.

If you want to understand the full impact of 5G, please read the first attached document entitled "International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space".  In several pages, this document will brief you about the impact of 5G on all forms of life on Earth.

To date, this appeal has been signed by 172,395 individuals and organizations from 204 countries.  Included are thousands of scientists, engineers, medical doctors, nurses, psychologists, architects and builders, and so many others from multiple professions.  To see all the signatories, organized by profession, and then by nation, please click on the Internet links in the second attached document entitled "Signatories of the Appeal".

These informed citizens of the world are trying to warn you about 5G.  Will you listen?

Do not let your constituents down.  Do not let your own families down.  We MUST stop 5G now.

Who am I?
