In another attempt to limit free speech, Mayor Murray in Monday night’s city council meeting, May 21, 2012, cut off Gini Marie Aland during public comment stating that she was off topic. Then Mayor Murray cut off Connie Morrison during public comment stating she was off topic.
Interesting since the topic was a campaign to switch children from sugary drinks to consuming more water including the city’s tap water which contains FSA, a toxic industrial waste product.
Not only was Ms. Aland cut off by Mayor Murray, but her microphone was also shut off.
Herein is the context of Ms. Alands comments. Judge for yourself to see if she was On topic or OFF topic.
Good evening, my name is Gini Marie Aland and I live in the County.
While I sincerely believe the Rethink Your Drink program is an excellent idea, I would just like to remind folks what we are encouraging our children to drink.
Encouraging them to consume more city water that contains FSA would be a shame.This fluoridation chemical is an unrefined toxic industrial waste. It is linked to a rare bone cancer in boys called osteosarcoma. At least one young man in our community has already died from this rare cancer.
A doubling of lead in children’s blood is also linked to fluoridated drinking water. In 25 different studies, a lower IQ in children has been attributed to fluoridated water.
Dental fluorosis has also increased dramatically in our youth. These should NOT be conditions we aspire to for our city’s children. Vision can be affected which impacts the reading and learning process.
We should consider those children who like myself may suffer from an allergy to this chemical.
So for at least the children who drink this city’s fluoridated water, the parents may want to take an extra precaution and give their children filtered water.
You can fill jugs with reverse osmosis filtered water at Safeway or Ray’s for only 30 cents a gallon. Water is still an inexpensive alternative to the sugary drinks we don’t want them consuming, and filtered water tastes so much better than tap water!
Thank you.
I think this is among the most significant info for me.
And i am glad reading your article. But want to remark on few general
things, The site style is wonderful, the articles is really great : D.
Good job, cheers
This is hardly an obliteration of free speech. Your right to free speech does not mean that others are obligated to give you a platform and listen to you.
Ms. Aland is able to express her views privately or publicly on her own time, own money, or that of her friends and allies. Which is exactly what she has done by having her views expressed on this website.
Free speech is preserved, and the republic lives another day.
I know! You must be wandering what’s in the water. My point is, what is in the water came from the land, or contaminated sites like, Elk creek. or the grave yard swamp. I did some checking and found out, the water is toted with bio mass alkane water bits. These creatures live off contaminates on the land or water areas. mastitis larva are some times just like, yellow fever. They carry ticks and other types of diseases. I would limit the amount and have to community drink, fileted water for a while, or some part of the community will get sick. You chose, I agree with Donna west fall, about to much is to good for the community to have it at all. Help us clean up the parks or waste lands, and the bugs with not be coming around.
THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A CRIME AND KATHRYN MURRAY SHOULD BE ARRESTED!
The treatment of Ms Aland wasdisgusting and improper
