What would you do if you woke up one morning and a 40 foot cell antenna was intstalled outside of your home...
Moms of Merrick and Bellmore Speak Out:
M.O.M.S. is not against Cell Phones! M.O.M.S. is fighting FOR responsible placement of cell antennas and towers.
1. Antenna placement based on need
2. Keeping them 1500 feet away from schools and residential areas.
"Hey! We aren't guinea pigs!"
This composite picture symbolizes the antennas placed footsteps away from these children's schools and homes in the Town of Hempstead over the past year. They are located on telephone poles as well as clustered behind screens on local buildings. These antennas emit constant radiation 24 hours a day.

SW corner of Merrick Ave and Brook Park Drive in So. Merrick. This new type of cell antennae and box ("DAS" or Distributed Antennae System) are going up on utility poles all over Long Island. They are being put up by Next G and serving Metro PCS, many of them right outside bedroom windows and schools.
Cell antennas are going up everywhere - on buildings and utility poles without regard for health concerns or property values

Nassau County: Be Aware!
Think only the people living next to the antennas are paying the price?
Who will pay once NextG gets access to the 298,000 LIPA poles in Nassau County?
Will you be charged every time you turn on your lights?

DID YOU KNOW that MetroPCS phone company and NextG are putting radiation emitting cell antennas on top of Verizon Telephone Poles right here in our town? They sit only footsteps away from the playgrounds at BIRCH, LAKESIDE, CHATTERTON, and FAYETTE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AS WELL AS CALHOUN HIGH SCHOOL? So far, homeowners and outraged parents have been unable to have them removed despite over 400 letters, protests, and fears over health concerns.
Others were placed in front of homes overnight. They emit radiation 800 feet in every direction. According to our town zoning regulations, more can be placed on any pole at any time without notice or permission from homeowners. In fact, more are on their way to the 298,000 LIPA poles in Nassau County!
Did you know that in Bayville, Long Island, there is a Water Tower near the elementary school with multiple cell antennas on it? There is a lawsuit to have them removed. 30% of the staff and children are sick. Many have CANCER and 3 children have died.
Did you know that CELL ANTENNAS ARE PROHIBITED to be near schools and homes in many other areas of the United States and internationally as a result of regulations set by entities such as the School Boards of Los Angeles, Oregon, and Vancouver, The California State PTA, town boards in places such as Maryland and Connecticut, as well as the rulings by the French High Court and the European Parliament? This is due to concerns about possible links between EMF emissions and childhood cancer.
Did you know that PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA has set up a cancer panel to research the possible link between cancer and Electro-Magnetic Frequency (EMF) emitted by Cell Phone Towers and that the American Academy of Pediatrics sites CONSISTENT EVIDENCE BETWEEN EMF FIELDS AND CHILDHOOD LEUKEMIA?
Did you know that even the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS has a resolution opposing cell antennas on fire stations due to health concerns for their firefighters?
Then why in MERRICK and thoughout the Town of Hempstead have cell antennas been placed directly outside of our elementary schools? Our High School? Our homes? Why has every child in our school district been exposed daily to RADIATION EMITTING EMF’S SINCE JULY 2, 2009? Why are thousands more coming to Nassau County without regulations to keep them 1500 feet back from homes and schools?
Other states, other countries, will NOT allow their children to be Guinea Pigs for the Cell Phone Industry. What about YOUR CHILD? What about ours?
We all love our cell phones! We need antennas - placed responsibly. There are many sites available that do not sit directly in front of schools and homes. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS PARENTS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND EDUCATORS TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION WHEN IT COMES TO OUR CHILDREN. This needs your serious attention.
LET'S GET THESE ANTENNAS AWAY FROM OUR CHILDREN TODAY! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AT CHANGE.ORG NOW BY SIGNING THE PETITION! (Live in Town of Hempstead OR in Nassau County but not in Merrick? You can change the wording of the letter to address your community as well!!).
