Fluoridization of our Drinking WaterThe General Assembly enacted legislation in 1969 that required all public drinking water systems that serve more than 5,000 residents to fluoridate their water. That 1969 state law allowed communities to opt out via referenda in 1970 and several did. Today, there is no mechanism for additional communities to opt out of that requirement. Just as The Safe Drinking Water Act has a review period to examine practices every six years, we believe Ohio State should allow communities to vote periodically on the desire or need for this waste product to be added to our drinking water. The Safe Drinking Water Act is currently under review, and I'm told by Dr. Joyce Donohue’s office at the CDC, there are plans to lower the U.S. recommendations for acceptable levels of fluoride for public drinking water. Adding Fluoride to our drinking water is another example of "herd" treatment that can have severe health implications for individuals among our "herd". As citizens in an era of easy access to information, unlike the 1970's, we can visit sites such as www.fluoridealert.org and become educated. Here is some language from the Ohio Department of Health Bureau of Oral Health Services website that may add some clarity to the situation: 'Does Ohio require fluoridation? In 1969, convinced of the public health benefits of community water fluoridation, the Ohio General Assembly passed a law requiring fluoridation of public water supplies that serve more than 5,000 persons. The law provided customers of the affected water systems the opportunity to be exempted through a referendum held within 240 days of the law’s passage. Which cities are exempt? Thirty Ohio communities held special referenda in 1970 and were exempted from the law. Since then, eight of those communities have reversed the decision. Athens, Bellefontaine, Bellevue, Fairborn, Lebanon, Middletown, Delaware and Tipp City are now fluoridated. However, 22 communities remain exempt from fluoridation' Everyone has access to fluoridated products, no matter what your financial status may be. It's in toothpaste, mouthwash, dental rinses, offered through dental program as well as the foods and drinks we consume every day. Baby formula contains fluoride. It is a waste product and according to www.fluoridealert.org's "50 REASONS TO OPPOSE FLUORIDATION", has a cumulative effect, interferes with hydrogen bonding, inhibits numerous enzymes and when complexed with aluminum, interferes with G-proteins (Bigay 1985,1987) which has the potential with many hormonal and some neurochemical signals. It has been shown to be mutagenic, cause chromosome damage and interefer with the enzymes involved with DNA repair in a variety of tissue studies (Tsutsui 1984; Caspary 1987; Kashi 1993 and Mihashi 1996). The time has come to amend this law and allow communities another chance to vote for their right to safe drinking water.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Kavanaugh

Abandon Plan to Rig Electoral CollegeThe Michigan Republican Party is considering a cynical plan to divide Michigan's votes in the electoral college. This is nothing more than a obvious ploy to game the system and elect candidates which the GOP can't playing by the rules.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brett DeGroff

Gas Tax vs Sales TaxElimination of the Virginia gas tax will not assure a concurrent reduction in the price of gas, although the sales tax increase will raise costs to Virginia residents. Elimination of the gas tax should include a provision that preclude "windfall" profits for the gas companies, distributor, or station owners.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roscoe Lantz

do not redistrictOther states have done this and I have heard that Michigan is considering it. In cases where it has been done it has given Republicans a big and unfair advantage. I don't want that to happen iin my state.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rita Johnson

Save Homestead exemptionWhen Gov. LaPage got into office he started full scale assault on Maine State Gov. positions as a result I chose to leave my 30 year job supporting people with mental retardation so I could continue to get my health insurance. Now as a property owner on a fixed income I am worried I will no longer be able to afford to live in Maine. The local property taxes doubled for me last year and every thing has gone up in price since I left my dream job 2 years ago. Lets be more open to raising taxes on folks who can afford to pay them like tourists.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julie Cyr

Legalize Marijuana in MontanaFive years of my life was spent on probation for possession of marijuana, and during this time I was virtually unemployable. Millions across the nation are effected by the drug war and the amount of money spent on prohibition is unacceptable and obviously unproductive. We in Montana are smarter than this. Let's follow in Washington and Colorado's footsteps. Legalize and tax marijuana in Montana and use the tax dollars for education, something that actually will lower drug use.3,936 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Anthony Varriano
