Our Water, Our Vote

“OUR WATER OUR VOTE!”

This is the current sentiment being expressed by Portlanders outraged over the city council vote to fluoridate Bull Run water supply behind our backs and fast tracking the legislation, depriving the citizens time to educate themselves on this personal and  controversial matter.  Democracy has been completely stepped on here! Booooo!

Quote from Fluoride Free Oregon site:

“Portland, it’s time to take a stand on what it means to really and truly care about what our citizens think and feel about water fluoridation. It is our time to do more than just throw toxic and cheap band-aids at issues and call it equity. This is our time to show the world, who is indeed watching, from Malaysia to Australia to New York and Phoenix, that Portland’s water is world-class and that we don’t believe in jumping off fluoride bridges, just because so many other states are doing it.”

Anywho, as soon as Portland City Council voted to approve fluoridation of Portland water, Clean Water Portland PAC filed a citizen referendum to repeal that ordinance. This referendum gives Portlanders 30 days to collect 20,000 valid signatures from registered Portland voters. A successful referendum will put a hold on the implementation city council vote, and allow citizens of Portland to vote on whether or not to add fluoridation chemicals to our drinking water. If you would like to collect signatures, here is the link to download signature pages: cleanwaterportland.org/download/
Aaaaand, Fluoride Free Portland has three times coming up to educate people on how to most effectively get the signatures we need. Meet here: 408 SE 6th Ave, at the Corner of 6th and Oak, Friday, 5:30pm is the 1st one & the 2nd one is at 7pm then Saturday at 10:30am. Yours truly will be there at 7pm tonight along with many other awesome volunteers to help train and inspire you. : )

There are more rock n roll related events in the works to support democracy and protect our water. I’ll keep you posted on any developments with those.
