FAN Bulletin 1039

January 16, 2009

When we sent out the bulletin yesterday we had garnered 670 points on the fluoridation appeal on the Obama transition team website and 29 comments. Today the number of locations where fluoridation is mentioned has increased to 11, and as of 6 pm today our total on all locations combined has risen to 6,180 points which means 618 people have voted to have this issue on President-elect Obama’s agenda and 202 people have posted comments explaining why.

Thank you everyone for this magnificent response.

Also the “Health Freedom issue” which includes a one sentence reference to fluoridation has received 22,490 points, with 257 comments.

The site is still receiving votes and comments, if you haven’t posted yours yet  please do. Please get as many of your friends to do likewise. If you have email contact lists please circulate this message to them. The more “clicks” on VOTE UP we get the more notice we will gain for our issue. This is a rare opportunity to have our issue heard at the highest level of government.

We also welcome votes and comments from outside the US because what happens on this issue here will have an impact on your countries as well.

Here’s how you can vote and/or leave a comment.

Go to the website http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/

1) First register.

2) Then in the search button put in the word “fluoridation”

3) Then go the section titled “water fluoridation” click on VOTE UP and click on the Stop Water Fluoridation appeal, as well as the Health Freedom appeal. Please get as many of your friends to do likewise. To make a comment you have to scroll down to the end of the list.

I for one am pretty excited that this transitional team is actually seeking out our concerns. President-elect Obama said we needed change, and that we had to have hope and for every impossible dream the response was “Yes We can.” Whatever your political persuasion let’s adopt this positive approach for our effort as well. We want to end fluoridation worldwide ? can we do it? YES WE CAN!
