Milwaukee Aldermen Vote to Hold Fluoridation Issue - Call to Action

Water Fluoridation opponents and proponents met in Milwaukee today, to debate Water Fluoridation in the city. The Common Council Steering and Rules Committee had the ability to eliminate water fluoridation if it chose to. After 8 hours of testimony, the committee voted to hold the legislation until the next convening of that committee.

Experts like FAN Director Dr. Paul Connett, Dr. Bill Osmundson, and Dr. Yolanda Whyte presented in favor of eliminating Water fluoridation in the city. They did a fine job answering all of the questions the council presented.

Many of the Aldermen said they needed more time to sort through the information. Alderman Bohl and Alderman Bauman would've voted today to eliminate Water Fluoridation. Ald. Davis, Ald. Zielinski, and Ald. Hines seemed to be on the fence. Ald. Witkowski was not ready to make a decision, Ald. Murphy seemed to be in favor of continuing Fluoridation, and Ald. Hamilton had to leave early, but did seem to be in favor of elimination. Many of the Aldermen seemed genuinely interested in pursuing this further, so we need your help to maintain their interest.

We would like to thank Alderman Bohl for his efforts so far, and his continued push on this issue. he was overly prepared.

It is on us now to make this an issue! Please contact every Alderperson, especially the ones on the Steering and Rules Committee. CONTACT - Call them, email them, schedule appointments. We need our voices to be heard. NUMEROUS dental agencies showed up to fight against removing fluoride from the water. This isn't even a dental issue it's a toxicological issue. PLEASE inform your friends and get involved, view our Spread The Word page and print off fliers to spread: SPREAD THE WORD -

Thank You!!
