PORTLAND — Of the 19,858 signatures required, Clean Water Portland leader Kim Kaminski collected more than 43,000 in an attempt at stopping the city from adding fluoride to the water supply by putting the question to the voters.
“Our goal was 30,000 and the signatures just kept coming in,” Kaminski said. “In the last few days it was like an avalanche.”
That’s right, citizens in Portland, by the tens of thousands, have stood up and demanded that fluoride NOT be added to the water supply.
If adding fluoride to the water does go to a public vote, opponents of the plan will be able to spread major awareness of the dangers of fluoride and the reasons to vote no on adding any amount of toxic fluoride to any water supply.

The Statesman Journal wrote;
Portland voters twice rejected fluoride before approving it in 1978. They overturned their decision before it was ever added to the water.
The council last month unanimously approved a plan to add fluoride by March 2014. Until the vote, Portland was the largest city in the U.S. yet to approve water fluoridation to combat tooth decay.
Mayor Sam Adams and city commissioners said now is the time to act because Portland children have more dental problems than children from neighboring states that fluoridate, and adding the mineral to the water is a safe, effective and affordable way to address it.
Mayor Sam Adams says the kids especially need this toxic chemical that is a bi-product of aluminum manufacturing. Looks like the mayor likes rat poison.
CheeseSlave identifies the top 10 dangers of fluoride;
1. Accumulation of Fluoride in the Body
Fluoride accumulates in the body. Healthy adult kidneys excrete 50 to 60% of the fluoride ingested each day (Marier & Rose 1971). Any remaining fluoride accumulates in the body, typically in the bones and pineal gland (Luke 1997, 2001). Babies and children excrete less fluoride from their kidneys and absorb up to 80% of ingested fluoride into their bones (Ekstrand 1994). The concentration of fluoride in the bones increases over a lifetime (NRC 2006).
2. Fluoride and Bottle-fed Babies
Bottle-fed babies receive the highest doses of fluoride. Since they have a liquid diet, formula-fed babies have the highest exposure to fluoride. Infant exposure to fluoridated water has been repeatedly found to be a major risk factor for developing dental fluorosis later in life (Marshall 2004; Hong 2006; Levy 2010). As a result, dental researchers have recommended that parents of newborns not use fluoridated water when reconstituting formula (Ekstrand 1996; Pendrys 1998; Fomon 2000; Brothwell 2003; Marshall 2004).
The American Dental Association (ADA), the biggest advocates of fluoridation, sent a November 6, 2006 email alert to its members advising that parents should make baby formula with “low or no-fluoride water.”
