On July 2, 1997 the union that consists of and represents all of the biologists, toxicologists, chemists, engineers and attorneys at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) headquarters in Washington, D.C., voted unanimously to take a stand against water fluoridation. They cited scientific evidence of fluoride's link to increased risk of hip fracture, cancers, bone pathologies, genetic mutation, and neurological impairment, including lower IQ in children. Recent science also links fluoride to Alzheimer's disease, kidney damage, chronic fatigue symptoms and sleep disorders. Dental fluorosis, a permanent chalky mottling of the teeth and a window to fluoride overdose of the entire body, is on the rise, even in non-fluoridated communities. Fluoride is more toxic than lead, only slightly less toxic than arsenic.
I believe that fluoridation is outdated, unscientific, violates medical ethics and denies freedom of choice. Its serious risk outweigh its minor (if any) benefits. None of the under signed will cast a vote for any candidate who does not agree to remove fluoride form the Collier County water system.

The scientific concerns regarding our water supply continue to gain traction as more individuals come forward with their own research. I am currently preparing a formal letter to present these findings to local officials. Their persistent silence indicates that public pressure remains our most effective tool for change.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a growing public resolve to revisit our local water policies. It is clear that many people share these concerns regarding the safety and necessity of adding fluoride to our supply.

Finally someone is speaking up about this. My teeth are stained from this poison and no one wants to admit why.
Fluoride is literal toxic waste. Look it up. Stop forcing us to drink it
Ive been filtering my own water for years but the whole city deserves better than this outdated practice.
GET IT OUT NOW. We shouldnt have to pay to get poisoned by our own water supply.
Keep your chemicals out of my tap. I dont want this stuff forced on my kids.

Why are we still doing something that was rejected by the experts years ago? makes no sense.
