Welcome to Fluoride Class Action. I am James Robert Deal, president and web master.
It is our goal to put water districts, state and federal agencies, and suppliers of fluoridation materials on notice that they are exposed to serious liability for fluoridating drinking water.
It is our goal is to force water districts to report these notices of potential liability to their insurance carriers. Insurance companies are not in the business of defending unreasonable and known risks. They will begin to limit and terminate coverage. This may break the logjam and put an end to the foolish practice of water fluoridation.
It is our goal is to create templates which local de-fluoridation groups can use with their own water districts. These will be templates for notices of liability, freedom of information FOIA requests, interrogatories, and lawsuit documents.
It is our goal to inspire class action and consumer protection attorneys to utilize the templates on this web site to prepare notices, freedom of information requests, and actual lawsuit documents for use against local water districts.
If you want to prevent your water district from fluoridating or if your water district has already fluoridated, follow the steps outlined on this web site.
Filing suit is your last resort. Before you do that, you should make a concerted effort to educate and threaten you water board, your city council, your county council, as well as state agencies right on up to the legisature and the governor.
You should also send your water district a Freedom of Information Act request for documents. Click here for a sample. In some states such a document is called a Freedom of Information Act – FOIA – request. In Washington it is called a Public Records Act request. It is best to send your FOIA request before you send your Notice of Liability letter. But you can send the FOIA at the same time you send your Notice of Liability. You can send repeated FOIA letters. Keep honing in on the documents that will prove your case.
When you get the answers to the FOIA request, study them. Follow up with an explanation of what the water district is doing wrong and another Notice of Potential liability and Not to Destroy Documents.
Write letters explaining how the water district’s answers to your FOIA request were inadequate.
Recruit a team of co-workers. Take turns standing up during the water district meeting and reading your letter.
Visit other governments. Go to the city council and the county council and tell them what is going on at the water district.
Write letters to the water district’s insurance company. Ask if the insurance company is going to cover the damages when the lawsuit comes.
Go through the briefs in the Port Angeles case. There is a wealth of information you can draw on to write a continuing supply of letters.
Arrange a “debate.” Raise enough money to pay the cost of flying in someone like Paul Connett or Bill Osmunson or myself. It will be a one-sided debate because pro-fluoridation people have a policy of not participating in debates.
Visit your local radio station. Visit your local newspaper. Visit your neighborhood newspaper or shopper. They are always looking for local interest articles.
Hold a new conference. Hold it at the radio station or the newspaper office.
Run for a seat on your water commission or your city or county council.
It helps but is not absolutely necessary for you to have an attorney backing you up. But you should try to recruit an attorney. He or she need not be experienced in fluoridation or environmental law or in class action lawsuits. Most of the documents you or your lawyer will be sending to your water board will be on this web site or other sites such as www.fluorideaction.org.
Remember that attorneys have a non-binding obligation to do pro bono work, for the public good. Attorneys are always looking for fulfilling pro bono legal work.
Remember, we can win this thing, and the time is NOW!! (I rarely use exclamation points. I’m trying to stir you to action. STIR!!
Yes, they have all the money. But we have all the good ideas.
I’m very interested in the effects of water fluoridation.

The ADA has been sued for willful harm fraud false advertising
For not warning about food levels.
we need to also have investigations on these taxpayer funded agencies that are not doing there job of keeping our public utilities safe.The Epa and the CDC and all of these are given the job to over see public safety and either its beyond their ability are they are ignoring the details and facts or they in over their heads. We need compent scientists and chemists to over see these people. Are they are willing partners of the crimes against the human and animal on his planet. If you allow murder (poisoning water causes death) then you should be put in jail for it. No one who can read a big poison lable and see skull and cross bones on the bags can say they didn’t know. Its unexcuseable and downright evil!!!
James,
I love your updated front page, but where did the “Is Your Community Fluoridated?” link go? It’s a very handy tool.
AND, speaking of debates: Fluoride Free Austin recently scored a real coup when we brought Dr. Paul Connett here and teamed him up with an FFA dentist member, Dr. Griffin Cole, to debate a couple of pro-fluoridationists. The pair, a dentist and an MD, came all the way from Fort Stockton in west Texas, apparently unaware that the event – billed as a “work session” by the Austin City Council sub-committee that sponsored it – would have a quasi-debate format. Needless to say, our side trounced them! This historic event can be viewed in full on the http://www.fluoridefreeaustin.com website (top video), my current blog entry, or You Tube. It’s also on DVD, and I’ll gladly send one to anybody, on request, for the price of postage and a mailer. Inquiries can be made through the Fluoride Free Austin website.
1. The first para. is repeated.
2. Para.2 These letters demonstrate that Everett has great potential liability for its adding of silicofluorides to Everett drinking water.
3. The silicofluorides you are adding to drinking water, and which are used to fluoridate the water drunk by around 92% of Americans, are more toxic than the sodium fluoride, used to fluoridate the remaining 8%.
4. The Everett water fluoridation program is expensive, and the fluoridation materials corrode water equipment and shorten their useful life. Hazmat suits must be worn to handle silicofluorides, and when it is spilled on concrete, it burns a hole through it. In this era of declining

Dear Mr. Deal,
I am an epidemiologist, semi-retired dentist and homeopathic physican who has been engaged in the bellum fluoricum for many years, having done research, published, and spoken publicly about this megatoxin. I came across your website through an email from Cathy Justus, who lives in Pagosa Springs, CO, about 2 hours away. (The lady whose horses were poisoned by her town’s fluoridated water). We have spoken on the phone. I’m tired of trying to convince my closed-minded dental peers of the morbific effects of fluoride through sound science, and so it thus seems that the litigious route is the only one remaining to garner their full attention and effect true changes in water fluoridation protocol by holding the purveyors of fluoridation at all levels of involvement, liable.
Thank you for your recommendations on establishing a modus operandi for lay people and professionals for holding municipalities legally liable. Although my small town does not fluoridate, neighboring ones do. Bit by bit we need to etch away (much as fluoride does chemically) at the “industry’s” stronghold. I was sorry to read of the Washington Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling in support of fluoridation, because of the public’s supposed and mandated non-involvement in administrative affairs.
Although not a litigious person by nature, I sincerely hope that more tort suits are brought by
patients for not only dental fluorosis but the unseen accompanying systemic effects that fluoride has caused and continues to cause. We need to reach the hundredth monkey threshold, if you know what I mean. Spoke to Dan Stockin of the Atlanta Project @ the Lillie Center in Atlanta yesterday for first time, telling him that a national database of individuals affected by fluoride needed to be established. He apparently has been doing that to some extent in the Atlanta area. I told him I would like to see a national campaign set up via a non-profit which would act as a database exchange for claimants. It could initially be funded by grants/donations and then be hopefully sustained by awards/donations from lawsuits and/or from attorneys for the plaintiffs. A businessman or attorney I am not but i wanted to get your input on the feasibility of this idea.
Thank you for your continuing efforts in this battle and look forward to hearing from you at some point.
Sincerely,
Dr. John Percival
