James Deal is a brave man – Just marching into the city council meeting and presenting on the topic of fluoride. When he announced he was doing this, I decided to join the ranks and speak up too (as long as I wasn’t doing it alone). I figured that people would see us as whakos – and to a certain extent I may have been right. However I didn’t FEEL that while we were there.
I did feel like there was opposition – planted opposition to speak the pro-fluoride agenda and they definitely wanted us to feel icky (like outrightly laughing at some of our public comments). The council as a whole seemed receptive to our message. That was a pleasant surprise.
I didn’t want to lose any progress made so I went home and made a short video of my presentation to the council and posted the speech on my website (http://fluoridedetective.com/2011/07/28/speak-your-mind/).
People can glance at them and get ideas for their own presentations to their city council. I’m planning on doing the same thing for any presentations given to city councils. That probably means making a special section on Fluoride Detective for city council presentations – eventually.
I’m not supposed to say this, but . . . but I feel discouraged with the fluoride fight – and I’ve barely begun. I do very much appreciate this Fluoride Poisoning group to help to keep me marching on.
Thanks to you all!! Your words are valuable and supportive to all of us out here.

My Everett News - a blog with lots of readers – is covering the goings on at Everett City Hall, including the fluoride-lead-arsenic story.
See: http://myeverettnews.com/2011/07/28/lynnwood-attorney-threatens-everett-with-legal-action-over-water-fluoridation/
Last Wednesday we gave three presentations.
This Wednesday we gave two. I gave one presentation:

A dentist and a doctor, head of the Snohomish County Health District spoke in favor of fluoride. They focused only on teeth and quoted from the CDC. Remember that endorsements do not prove anything.
Councilman Paul Roberts spoke in favor of fluoridation, saying Everett had the best water in the world, but he did not respond to any of the arguments presented by Fluoride Class Action members.
We are going to go next week with scientific and medical journal articles. Then we are going to ask these Council members and other candidates for county offices to take a position on fluoridation. We are also going to start handing out fliers at the Court House when there are a lot of people coming and going, asking everyone to send our questionaires and do the same – asking all candidates to take a position.
The election season is approaching. We have to politicize this. Let’s not pass up this opportunity.
More Later.
