The fluoridation empire is continuing to crumble! This September alone, there have already been four community victories against fluoridation. But, before we get to the details of these great victories, we need your help.
We have the unprecedented opportunity to request that President Obama end all federal involvement in the promotion, endorsement, and funding for fluoridation of the public's drinking water. If we can collect 5,000 signatures in the next 30 days, or by October 26, White House staff will review it, ensure it's sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.
Signing the petition to President Obama only takes a minute, and it could be the most influential fluoride petition you've ever signed. Please share this petition with friends, family, and co-workers. Under the text of the petition there are two buttons you can use to promote the petition on Facebook and Twitter.
September Victories Hohenwald is the second Tennessee city in the last month to remove fluoride from its water system, following Spring Hill's vote in August. According to the Hohenwald City Recorder, there were several reasons for the City Council's unanimous decision, including saving $9,000 a year, and the questionable health benefits of adding fluoride. This past Thursday in Texas, the College Station City Council voted 6-1 to end 22 years of fluoridation because of the $42,000 a year price tag, and because of the abundance of dental products containing fluoride. College Station has a population of nearly 100,000, and is home to Texas A&M University, which has 42,000 students. In Canada, the community of Slave Lake, Alberta announced that on October 1st, fluoride will no longer be added to drinking water. The decision is said to have followed considerable research and discussion, as well as the lead of other Canadian communities like Calgary. In the UK, residents of Southampton, along with Hampshire Against Fluoridation, collected 6,000 signatures to force the city council to debate a motion on withdrawing its support for fluoridation. In response, the City Council voted by a majority of 2-1 in opposition to fluoridation. Unfortunately, the Council's vote may not be enough to prevent the regional health authority from implementing fluoridation. Upcoming federal reforms are expected to give local councils the power to end fluoridation by 2013. This vote will give the city council the authority to prevent fluoridation as long as possible, and at the least, be able to end fluoridation in 2013 if it's mandated by the government. ___________________________________ Breaking News!
