Fluoride is a poison. Fluoride was poison yesterday. Fluoride is poison today. Fluoride will be poison tomorrow. Please come support the health of your friends and neighbors by beginning the process of removing the poison fluoride from our water system. When in doubt get it out.
ReplyDeleteIf you chose to use fluoride, there are many ways for you to receive it. That is your choice. When the town puts it in your drinking water, you do not have a choice, unless you can afford to buy water. Now, that is fine. What happens if you don't even know is fluoride in the water in the first place. There is a lot of money tied up in fluoride, it would be very costly for big business to admit a mistake. This is a chance to control what you can, and remove fluoride from the water. Support these citizen petitions, move Templeton forward !
