On
behalf of The Girl Against Fluoride team, we would like to wish you all a
very happy and healthy 2014. 2013 catapulted the campaign into mainstream
consciousness with articles in both regional and national newspapers, radio
interviews, the ongoing exposure of the fluoride scandal by Hot Press magazine
and Hot Press journalist Adrienne Murphy's guest appearance on RTE's Today Show.
Prime Time also conducted an investigation into the fluoride issue, with Emmet
Stagg, chief whip for the Labour Party, speaking out against the policy of
mandatory water fluoridation. Sinn Fein Deputy, Brian Stanley, proposed a bill
to ban fluoridation which unfortunately was defeated by all three main political
parties. Politically we have reached an end game. Our only way forward now is to
take the High Court case to reverse the policy of mandatory water
fluoridation.
This
year we hope to continue to run the public awareness campaign while fundraising
for the court case. The 2014 Naked Calendar has helped raise 9,000 euro which is
almost 1/3 of the way to reaching our target fund of 30,000 euro. For those of
you who have yet to order a calendar please do so at: http://www.thegirlagainstfluoride.com/calendar.html .The
calendar not only helps us raise the required funds, but also helps spread
information about the harmful effects of fluoride.

2014
marks the 50th anniversary of mandatory water fluoridation in Ireland. Gladys
Ryan who took the first court case in 1963, was unsuccessful because of the
fraudulent evidence provided by Harold Hodge. Justice Kenny was swayed by
Hodge's testimony and ruled against Gladys Ryan, stating that it was his belief
that water fluoridation was a safe practice and did not breach her right to
bodily integrity.
This
month the legal team are initiating court proceedings. Your continued support
and donations will enable us pay for the most knowledgeable expert witnesses who
will help ensure its success.
Once
again, we would like thank you for your continued support and words of
encouragement.
Best
wishes,
Aisling
and the Team
The
Girl Against Fluoride
