Dear All,

Our Minnesota Dream Team member Jason Krueger is “buzzing” again.

WCCO (a CBS affiliate in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN) will be airing a story that he has been working on with consumer reporter, Terri Gruca for several months on Thursday, July 13, 2006 at 10:00 PM CST (that’s tonight). It is not common to have 2 major news stories on fluoridation in Minnesota (or anywhere for that matter), particularly in such short succession!

WCCO has been airing trailers and “tickler” stories for the past 2 days building up to tonight’s program. Jason is concerned that there will be attempts to muscle the station into not airing the segment. So he has asked us to include the the contact number for the station, so that readers can contact them and thank them for running this piece and urge them not to be intimidated by those who would wish to see the issue silenced. Their number is 1-800- 444-9226 - leave your message at option 2 - for news items (or online at http://wcco.com/contact).

Terri Gruca, the reporter for this story, will be posting links to FAN on her blog site following the story. It will be available at http://wcco.com/terriblog

If you want to get more information from Jason, his contact email is .
