This is an e-mail I received from Dan in the early hours this morning. Just wanted to share it with you. Outrages what ‘they’ can do if you don’t ‘perform’.
FAN Bulletin 1011: The firing of Wally Babb, water engineer in Dalton, Georgia, for refusing to buy or feed fluoride into the water supply
December 2, 2008
Dear viola,
The following is from Dan Stockin:
On Nov 29, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that a Dalton, Georgia, water worker has been fired for following his conscience and refusing to fluoridate water because of its adverse effect on kidney patients. Also, Tenneesse’s physician legislator Dr. Joey Hensley is being quoted as calling on ALL water districts in Tennessee to immediately halt water fluoridation. These are both stories with national implications. Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Dalton, Georgia, are within 27 miles of each other and just up the road from the CDC in Atlanta. We need these stories to grow legs.
The man who was fired is Wally Babb. His wife has Multiple Sclerosis and also just had a cancerous tumor removed from her intestine, and they will be without medical coverage due to Mr. Babb being fired. Nevertheless, they are resolute in not being willing to participate in harming people. Their stance has cost them something, in very real terms. AFTER Mr. Babb first notified his supervisors that he wouldn’t any longer buy the harmful fluoridation chemical, the National Kidney Foundation validated his concerns with a new stance on fluorides, but Mr. Babb’s bosses fired him anyway.
We’d appreciate anyone forwarding the stories and links below to as many national and local media outlets, newspapers, TV stations, water districts, etc. as possible. Mr. Babb could sure also use support and encouragement. He can be reached at:

Thanks for the link. I do hope that people ‘wake up’ and listen!

Thanks for the post. I wish there was a way to donate to Mr. Babb. Can you imagine if the man could make more in one month of donations than all year working at the water dept. That would send a strong message if the media covered this!
Hi Roman - YES, that would make a difference to Mr. Babb’s life. I can’t believe that this actually happened. Outrages!!!
PS. I think the ’strong’ message is already out there since this happened.
