TAKE ACTION Against The NJ Fluoridation Bill!
February 27, 2012 1.) If you are a NJ resident and would like participate in the fight against
fluoridation, contact FAN's state coordinator, and visit No Fluoride New
Jersey.
2.) Call the offices of the Senate President and Speaker of the House. Tell
them not to ignore Assembly rules, the $5 billion dollar price tag, or the
health risks associated with fluoridation:
Here are the top people to call:
Senate Majority leader Loretta Weinberg (201) 928-0100
She signed on as a primary sponsor of the bill S959
Senate President Steve Sweeney (856) 251-9801
He promptly scheduled the final vote
Assembly Majority leader Louis Greenwald (856) 435-1247
He signed on as a primary sponsor of the bill A1811
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (973) 395-1166
She scheduled the final vote without having the Appropriations committee
hold a hearing
Democrats have a majority in both the Senate and the Assembly. They can pass
this without any Republican votes. In the Senate Health Committee hearing,
the three Republicans who stayed for the entire hearing did not vote for the
bill. One voted NO and the other 2 ABSTAINED. (Wow, they actually listened.)
At a Governor's town hall meeting in Westfield, vaccine choice activist (Sue
Collins) asker Christie about fluoridation. Christie expressed skepticism
about it. He may be our best shot at stopping this travesty. We should call
him to encourage him to veto this bill if the Democrats ram it through.
