My name is Gary Brown and I am the cofounder of a the South Florida Group called F.A.C.T.+= Families Against Cell Towers- We are currently engaged in a struggle against the telecom Industry. We are finding that the major key to success with this issue is lobbying the the state representatives, federally elected congressman, and House members. This requires calm rational facts coupled with phone calls and eye to eye meetings with those representatives.Success with this issue will only come about when your local officials are educated and lobbied. The FCC/EPA/ FDA and the white house need to lobbied the same way. Industry will continue to get its way and endanger our futures unless we form state or regional groups that will lobby like hell to get positive change. The industry is in turmoil because citizens are protesting. Currently about 300 moratoriums are in effect nation wide on the cell tower issue. Remember there is power in numbers and your effort is needed. Our group has received wonderful support from Ergotec and the EMR and could use yours too.
