BONNER COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE RESOLUTION URGING THE MAYOR AND CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANDPOINT, IDAHO, TO CEASE FLUORIDATION OF CITY WATER

WHEREAS the international Basel Convention (of which the United States is

signatory), Environment Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) all state that the chemicals used in artificial water fluoridation are

hazardous waste which may not be put directly into lakes, rivers and oceans and

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has never approved the ingestion of

fluoride; and WHEREAS artificial water fluoridation chemicals contain between

20% to 30% hydrofluorosilicic acid

(inorganic fluoride), trace amounts of arsenic, lead, mercury, radionuclides and

other heavy metals, all considered to be toxic substances in the U.S. under the

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ( CERCLA)

Priority List of Hazardous Substances (1988); and

 

WHEREAS fluoride is not removed in sewage treatment and remains a toxic

constituent of the effluent discharged by treatment plants into rivers and

lakes; and WHEREAS the USEPA Headquarters Union and scientists, physicians,

dentists and researchers world-wide state that artificial water fluoridation is

not effective in the prevention of cavities and is not safe to vulnerable

populations, as demonstrated in the U.S. National Research Council

2006 Review; and WHEREAS there is a wide range of health vulnerabilities in the

Sandpoint population and a wide range of consumption patterns for fluoridated

water in beverages and foods made with artificially fluoridated water, which

means that individuals’ daily doses of fluoride chemicals from drinking water

cannot be controlled; and

 

WHEREAS the European Court of Justice ruled June 5,

2005, that artificially fluoridated water must be treated as a medicine and

cannot be used in commercial food or beverage preparation; and

 

WHEREAS exposing infants, children and adults to unregulated doses of

medications without prescriptions or their informed consent is both

irresponsible and unethical; and WHEREAS the Mayor and City Council have been

respectfully and publicly presented with, yet have officially ignored, documents

and documentaries showing conclusively that water fluoridation is medically

unethical, diminishes rather than improves public health and is harmful to the

environment; and WHEREAS over 900 Sandpoint residents have signed a petition

expressing strong opposition to the forced and unethical " medication " of their

city water; and WHEREAS the city of Sandpoint has been fluoridating its water in

the absence of informed public consent since

1952 and, since 2004,

147 communities in the U.S. have discontinued artificial water fluoridation and;

WHEREAS the Idaho Attorney General recently opined that artificial water

fluoridation is a controversial issue most appropriately resolved politically

within an affected Idaho community. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Bonner

County Republican Central Committee urges and petitions the Sandpoint City

Council members to make an immediate motion to repeal Ordinance

1034, the fluoridation of city water, and call for a recorded vote of the

individual council members. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Secretary of the

Bonner County Republican Central Committee be hereby authorized and directed to

forward a copy of this resolution to the Sandpoint Mayor and City Council

members, members of this central committee and the media. APPROVED AND ADOPTED
