STOP Fluoridation in Your Community - Here's how
|
Please understand the battle about fluoridation is not fought on facts by our opponents. They resort to "Do it for the Children" and "the American Dental Association" recommends it. They never talk facts and will avoid any technical discussion. They know they don't have science on their side. There is no magic formula for stopping the fluoridation of a community. The best advice is to try to find a few similar minded people in order to fight the effort. Give yourself a name, like AnyTown Citizens for Safe Drinking Water. You'll get more attention and achieve better credibility by being a (loosely) organized group. Become familar with what's on our web page, Dr. Kennedy's letter, the letter from the EPA Scientists and the Natick Report. Print copies of these documents and give them to your city council members and anyone in the media. Continuously write the editor of the local paper, contact the local TV stations, find out who the reporter is, see if they are going to cover the issue. If so, tell them your group is against it and give them contact information. They usually want to talk with both sides of any issue. Do you have a web site? This is KEY!! There is no way a person can remember an abundance of information but if they can refer to a web site for more info, that's great. Use our site www.nofluoride.com. It's easy to remember. Always refer to it in EVERY discussion, EVERY letter to the editor. You don't have to be an expert on fluoridation, just a concerned citizen. Always conclude your discussion with "Let's wait until the experts are in agreement. That's common sense. When in DOUBT - Keep it OUT! Call us and we can discuss ways of helping. |
