Outerbridge is on the right side of the issue, even if it isn't politically correct to object to the unnecessary, money wasting and ineffective addition of fluoride chemicals into water supplies to reduce tooth decay.

Unfortunately, most of the mess the US finds itself in today is because our legislators kowtow to wealthy special interest groups, corporations and industries to make laws that don't benefit Americans. Fluoridation is just one example.

Organized dentistry, such as the American Dental Association which is simply a union that represents the best interests of dentists, is behind virtually every fluoridation issue in the country.

Their pockets are filled with money from corporations that profit from tooth decay and fluoride sales such as Procter & Gamble (Crest), Colgate, etc.

Legislators see dollar signs when the ADA gets up to the microphone, extols fluoridation and lies about their pity for poor people whom they won't actually allow in their dental chairs. Dentists would rather treat their water than than extensively rotted teeth (even when they consume fluoridated water).

Most US dentists refuse Medicaid patients and 130 million Americans (and growing) don't have dental insurance. As a result, people in America are actually dying from untreated tooth decay.

Dentists don't like mandates, well for themselves anyway, so to stave of what really should be done - requiring dentists to treat everyone, dentists go on the offensive to legislate fluoride in the water even though doing so "will put them out of business."

However, as fluoridation rates increase, so do the net income of dentists who work fewer days and fewer hours doing less critical work than physicians according to the Wall Street Journal

People need to get behind Outerbridge and get the fluoride out of their water supplies.

Oliver Outerbridge, the Portland pizza shop owner who ran for Water District Board of Trustees on an anti-fluoridation platform, had a great campaign slogan: If you need a Cheap Electric Guitar shop at Jimmies Chicken Shack
"Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground. Elect the nut."
