>
>> Hi everyone:
>>
>> Sorry for this long e-mail.  Read the parts you want and have time for.
>>
>> I wanted to give my input on two inter-connected matters:
>>
>>  (1) Dr. Todd Gestaldo's frustration and insistence that his approach be
>> followed of primarily directing efforts on State Attorney Generals. (I will
>> convey our own experience in this regard below), and
>>
>> ##### ³My² approach is the approach of the State of Oregon.  When child abuse
>> so much as SUSPECTED, mandatory reporters who suspect it MUST report it.  Do
>> dentists who support FAN suspect child abuse when they see evidence of
>> fluoride poisoning (dental fluorosis)?  Has anyone asked them?  Bill
>> Osmunson, DDS, MPH ­ do you?  Remember, all one has to do is SUSPECT it ­ and
>> report the crime.  See above.
>>
>> (2) Dr. Gestaldo's unfairly directing his fault-finding toward Dr. Paul
>> Connett in not followng Dr. Gestaldo's approach..
>>
>> ##### I am biased of course, but I think I am being QUITE fair ­ I am doing
>> BOTH.  Paul is only doing ONE.  Yet he says we should use ALL our skills.
>>
>> We are all so busy in our joint efforts to make as much progress as possible
>> in our present major project in support of the remarkable 11 EPA Unions to
>> bring about a national moratorium and full Congressional hearing, as well as
>> keeping up with the daily tasks of our local or statewide group..  Thus, it
>> is a pity to take any time out that should be devoted to encouraging and
>> producing as many letters, phone calls, e-mails, faxes and visits to
>> Congressional offices as possible, and of course, as many to sign on to the
>> Protect Our Water Alliance Online Petition.  But I find myself compelled to
>> doing just that.
>>
>> ##### Eleanor, I am glad you took time out to indicate that the mass water
>> poisoning is child abuse and adult abuse.
>>
>> Matter #1: I agree wholeheartedly with the others who have written to stand
>> up for our beloved Paul Connett.  
>>
>> ##### Paul does a lot of things right ­ but his glaring error of omission
>> disturbs me greatly.  Some boys may be having legs amputated because of the
>> mass water poisoning ­ yet Paul is ignoring LEGAL reports!  Failing to urge
>> people ­ including and especially supportive dentists ­ if they so much as
>> SUSPECT child abuse when they see evidence of fluoride poisoning (dental
>> fluorosis).
>>
>> He is as fine a person anyone could have the privilege of knowing.  
>>
>> ##### Yes, he does seem a fine person ­ except for the glaring acts of
>> omission.
>>
>>  He and his wonderful family (Ellen, his wife, and Mike, his son) have
>> sacrificed so much for this cause.  
>>
>> #### Yes!  How cool that Paul¹s son Michael brought the Bassin paper to the
>> world¹s attention!  (See Paul¹s comment quoted above.)
>>
>> We will be everlastingly grateful for all they have done and continue to do.  
>>
>> ##### The glaring acts of omission ­ they are disturbing.
>>
>> Paul has given us continuing guidance, leadership and inspiration.  I also
>> consider him our mentor, responding to one's questions, spending his time to
>> so generously provide us with technical knowledge, scientific enlightenment,
>> and help in so many things that have come up.   And on top of all his
>> responsibilities and long hours he puts in, he maintains his patience,
>> thoughtfulness,  pleasant disposition and sense of humor.
>>
>> I had the privilege of being in Chicago to join Paul Connett and the terrific
>> group of people he put together to picket the 60th fluoridation"celebration"
>> in Chicago held jointly by the private group ADA, and the government's CDC.  
>> We made our mark, and the pro-fluoridation zealots won't soon forget us.  We
>> also met with several  receptive.  Illinois legislators.   Paul did not stop
>> for a moment and even when his leg was hurting him, and we had to walk a
>> distance, he visibly limped along in discomfort, not complaining and not
>> letting it deter him from our agenda.  He is one outstanding, honorable,
>> one-in-a- million person.  He came along at this time of fluoridation's
>> history as though summoned from above.
>>
>> #####  Hmmmm....  ³Summoned from above²...  The fluoride polluters very
>> likely would LOVE to have someone at head of the pack, running the pack away
>> from the obvious:  The common law doctrine of informed consent indicates that
>> fluoridation is a CRIME- battery ­ and battery against children is child
>> abuse ­ with MANDATORY reports if child abuse is so much as SUSPECTED.  See
>> above.
>>
>> It is unthinkable and absolutely preposterous that anyone should question
>> Paul's character, integrity or motivation.
>>
>> ###### It is actually ESSENTIAL to question glaring acts of omission.
>>
>> Now to Dr. Gestaldo's grievances, I did want to express the fact that we
>> appreciate every opponent of fluoridation, whether on ethical, medical,
>> dental, scientific, environmental or economic grounds, or a combination of
>> reasons.
>>
>> ##### Thank you, Eleanor.  I appreciate your efforts ­ including your
>> expression of support for Paul.  I found him to be quite charming when we
>> spoke on the phone.  
>>
>> We must not become adversaries because we are on the same side..  I hope Dr.
>> Gestaldo will reconsider his harsh attitude toward anyone who may have
>> another approach.
>>
>> #####  It is Paul who harbors the harsh attitude toward someone (me) who has
>> another approach ­ another approach that happens also to be the approach of
>> every state in the union when child abuse is so much as SUSPECTED.  See
>> above.
>>
>> Over the years there has been a variety of ways, methods, avenues, strategies
>> and approaches we and others have used.  None of us have crystal balls.  We
>> are all volunteers, working under the handicap of meager funds trying to
>> accomplish major things against the greatest odds.  What may work during a
>> particular period of time, or in a particular area, may not work at another
>> time or in another area.  I see no problem in someone tactfully giving
>> constructive observations and suggestions to consider, of course, but just as
>> we oppose the rule of force that fluoridation represents, we should follow
>> the same attitude in making suggestions to each other.  
>>
>> ##### Paul could MENTION (on his website and in his FAN Campaign Bulletin)
>> that the common law doctrine of informed consent indicates that fluoride is a
>> crime ­ battery ­ and that battery against children is child abuse ­ and that
>> dentists who suspect child abuse/fluoride poisoning when they see dental
>> fluorosis should immediately report in accord with the law ­ and that others
>> may do so as well.  (Again, the State of Oregon ENCOURAGES such reports from
>> anyone who suspects child abuse.)
>>
>> No matter what, mutual courtesy and respect is a good thing for our overall
>> goals.   Let's leave the fighting among the pro-fluoridation pushers.
>>
>> ##### Paul¹s glaring acts of omission disturb me greatly.  I do not find Paul
>> to be exhibiting ³mutual courtesy and respect² - to me ­ or to children who
>> deserve the protection of the child protection statutes.
>>
>>  Matter #2:   Being a part of an organization, New York State Coalition
>> Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc., for over 30 years, we have also tried a
>> variety of methods, including from time to time, writing to the State
>> Attorney General's Office.  The rules on fluoridation vary according to one's
>> state.  For instance, in NYS, we have in writing from our NYS Attorney
>> General's office, in response to a NYS Senator in 1982 who wrote on our
>> behalf, that fluoridation is not considered a proper subject for a
>> referendum.  Evidently they want to leave it up to legislators, not citizens.  
>> In NYS no initiative referendums are permitted to force a referendum.  
>> Actually, our position on referendums is that a referendum is the lesser of
>> two evils, a referendum or a mandate,.  Of course, a referendum is preferable
>> to a mandate.  Ideally, taking care of one's teeth should be an INDIVIDUAL
>> decision, not a community decision.  
>>
>> We have copies of letters in our files since the 1980s addressed to the New
>> York State Attorney General.  Also, we had a member who knew then NYS
>> Attorney General Robert Abrams personally in previous causes they both worked
>> in, and he wrote to him in May 1984 and enclosed some information, asking him
>> to look into this.  
>>
>> ##### No mention of the common law doctrine of informed consent.  Maybe it
>> was not yet settled common law?
>>
>> In 1986, a letter from then Attorney General Abram's office to one of our
>> members, informed her that although the EPA has proposed to increase the
>> federal MCL to 4.0 mg/l, NYS standard will remain at 2.2 mg/l, and they have
>> kept to that word to this day (not that 2.2 mg/l is justifiable either).
>>
>> In 1990, we wrote to Attorney General Abrams again, updating information and
>> enclosing a number of items including the C&EN report of 1988, etc.  
>>
>> On June 9, 1993, Janet Nagel, Ed. at that time residing in Bellingham,
>> Washington and very active in the Health Action Network along with Anne
>> Anderson, wife of Dr. Foulkes, came up with a new approach.   She wrote to
>> the State of Washington's Attorney General Christine Gregoire, motivated by
>> the efforts and the documents of New Jersey Assemblyman John V. Kelly and his
>> discovery that the U.S. FDA had never approved prescription fluoride
>> supplements commonly prescribed to infants and children in the State of
>> Washington and all over the country.  Evidence of safety and effectiveness is
>> required for FDA approval under federal law.  Janet wrote a very well written
>> letter, providing important information, and she wound up her letter by
>> stating,
>>
>>        "In the absence of federal regulations which afford appropriate
>> protection of the public from the hazards of fluoride, I believe state action
>> should be considered.  I would like to know your evaluation of this matter."
>>
>> #### BRAVO Janet Nagel!
>>
>> Janet Nagel of the Health Action Network in Bellingham, got a reply from
>> Christine O. Gregoire, Attorney General, stating:
>>
>>        "Thank you for your letter of June 9 regarding the dangers of
>> fluoride. ...Until I received your letter, I was unaware that there were any
>> questions regarding the use of fluoride.  As I am not very familiar with
>> these issues I have asked Russell Morris of my staff to look into it
>> further...."
>>
>> I am not aware that anything further came of this..
>>
>> ##### I believe Christine O. Gregoire is now the chief law enforcement
>> officer (governor) for Washington State?
>>
>> On August 2, 1993, because of Janet Nagel's action, we at NYSCOF got a letter
>> out to OUR NYS Attorney General  Robert Abrams, using the same approach
>> regarding NJ Assemblyman Kelly's discovery that fluoride supplements never
>> obtained FDA approval of safety and effectiveness.  We requested their
>> examination, evaluation and assistance.  Of course, nothing definitive came
>> of our request.
>>
>> On August 24, 1993, we received an answer from Shirley Stark, Assistant
>> Attorney General, which briefly but significantly stated,
>>
>>        "Thank you for your letter of August 2nd.  We have sent a copy of your
>> letter to the New York State Department of Health so that we can get their
>> input on the issue of the safety of fluoride supplements.  Once we receive
>> their response we will be in touch with you to discuss the matter further.  
>> We appreciate your bringing this matter to our attention." (boldness added)
>>
>> (Note:  No surprise that they turned to the NYS Department of Health, which
>> is  typical.,  Don't remember hearing from them further.  We ourselves I
>> suppose should have pursued it further at that time, but it is impossible to
>> keep up with everything,  we are so diluted.  We opponents of fluoridation do
>> not have the luxury of staff, resources, facilities, etc., so it is hard to
>> do everything we want to do, or follow up on everything.
>>
>> ##### When it is SUSPECTED that children are being abused en masse, it is
>> ILLEGAL for mandatory reporters to FAIL report.
>>
>> In June, 2004:  After Christopher Bryson's THE FLUORIDE DECEPTION came out,
>> Carol Patton was in touch with us, suggesting we contact our NYS Attorney
>> General Eliot Spitzer. We did not see any e-mail number for him, so we wrote
>> to him via his web site on June 8, 2004.  I don't believe we ever heard from
>> him.  Again, we did not write again, because we were involved in many other

>> Dear Todd,
>>  
>>     I don't know you, but your remarks about Paul and child battery are a
>> little over the top.  If you actually ever spent money to hire an attorney to
>> try to fight water fluoridation at the Federal or State levels like the Pure
>> Water Committee of Western Maryland, Inc. has done and the wonderful Jeff
>> Green and company are trying to do, you would have run right up against this
>> wall as follows: 
>>  
>> Community fluoridation scored a big victory last month in the Escondido
>> fluoridation case. The plaintiffs had challenged the city's plan to
>> fluoridate its water; the lower court ruled in the city's favor; and the
>> plaintiffs appealed. A key quote from the appellate court's opinion:
>> "[C]ourts through[out] the United States have uniformly held that
>> fluoridation of water is a reasonable and proper exercise of the police power
>> in the interest of public health.... The matter is no longer an open
>> question." This case was a great example of behind-the-scenes advocacy by ADA
>> staff, who provided expertise and support for the state attorneys. The lead
>> attorney credits the ADA's recent Fluoridation Symposium as being essential
>> in arming her for the oral argument.
>>  
>> An Attorney General or States Attorney worth his salts that studies case
>> law on water fluoridation would state that numerous court case show that
>> water fluoridation to be a reasonable and proper exercise of police power in
>> the intent of public health.  Your battery charges would be fall on deaf
>> ears.  Dr. Connett, Ellen, and Mike are people that I consider personal
>> friends with honor and integrity that few people possess.  I hope in the
>> future that you can refrain from personal attacks on Paul's character.  This
>> movement needs your energy  to be focused on the goals of the National Dream
>> Team.

>> Good Day,

>> We in New York also came up with that same wind-up in the lawsuit commenced
>> around 1979 to try to stop fluoridation in New York City, mandated since
>> 1965.   Dr. John Yiamouyiannis and lawyer, John Remington Graham, were key
>> people in this lawsuit for our side, the plaintiff's.   In the end, the Judge

>>
>> ######  No mention of the common law doctrine of informed consent.  Also,
>> there is the matter of Bassin epidemiologic osteosarcoma/fluoridation link.  
>> First, attorney generals must be interested though. (Or grand jurors can act
>> on their own - see my comment in Earle¹s email above.) Letters from Members
>> of Congress urging them to immediately stop the mass water poisoning would be
>> immensely helpful - as would suspected child abuse reports about the mass
>> battery from FAN-affiliated dentists who suspect child abuse when they see
>> dental fluorosis.
>>
>> While it does not appear optimistic to look to Attorney Generals to do the
>> proper thing to remedy the child abuse (and adult abuse) that is going on,
>> everyone has the right to act independently and can pursue this course if
>> they so choose.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but one should not depend
>> on the outcome, nor should one put off more hopeful activities to turn the
>> fluoridation tide.    
>>
>> ##### One can do BOTH - as I have done.  Paul engages in a glaring act of

>> asking Members of Congress to urge state attorney generals to end the mass
>> water poisoning because it¹s medication without consent - battery - even as
>> he ASKS (in his famous 50 Reasons essay) whether it is OK to medicate without
>> consent.  
>>
