house 09/11/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to streamline the deployment of small wireless facilities by removing certain environmental and historic preservation reviews that can delay their installation. Our goal is to speed up access to improved wireless service while maintaining respect for tribal consultations through clear procedures.

Fast-tracking wireless doesn’t mean running over tribal sovereignty; respect isn’t optional, it’s mandatory.

We don’t have time for endless reviews—small wireless towers shouldn’t face big-government hurdles.

Maybe there’s a way to build out wireless fast without bulldozing cultural checks, but this bill isn’t it.

Finally, a bill cutting bureaucratic deadweight so innovation doesn’t get strangled in paperwork.

When historic sites become collateral damage for faster service, maybe it’s time to rethink who really benefits from ‘progress.’

Skipping environmental reviews is just putting short-term speed ahead of long-term survival. Guess our planet’s future is now a low priority on the priority list.

Removing red tape is great until the rope turns into a noose around our heritage and ecosystems.

Speed is nice, but not if it’s blind to history and the environment—where’s the middle ground on this one?

Streamline the process and let tech grow; environmental laws meant for highways don’t belong on cell towers.
