Take action now: New coalition lobbies to fluoridate Portland's drinking water

Portland's reign as America's largest bastion of fluoride-free water is facing a revolt.

A newly formed and hush-hush coalition of more than 50 high-profile organizations is quietly lobbying the Portland City Council to add fluoride to a drinking water supply serving about 900,000 residents -- not just in Portland but also Gresham, Tigard and Tualatin, which buy city water through wholesale contracts.

The coalition could make a public pitch in coming weeks but faces a short window for political support. It has the backing of city Commissioner Randy Leonard, who oversees the Portland Water Bureau but leaves office in less than five months.

Please help spread the word - we need to stop our elected political representitives from poisoning us.
