Donate To Help Keep Portland Water Clean

I’m not sure if you are aware of the recent city council decision to fluoridate Bull Run, Portland’s and other surrounding cities main water supply. It was done very sneakily with no debates and only one city council hearing in the middle of the day while most folks are at work. By time this hearing happened, the 5 city council members, after only hearing from pro fluoride speakers, had already decided to vote for fluoridation.

I believe an issue with so much new information and one rife with controversy should be put to a public vote. Knowing it has been voted down the past three times also makes the city council’s behavior quite suspicious.

I’ve decided to volunteer to collect signatures (we need 20,000 valid ones in 30 days, we are already half way through that time, to get a referendum to block the city council decision and get this issue on the ballot where it belongs), organize events that raise money and awareness and last but not least I’m now taking a break from those two things to do some direct donation fund raising.

Yep, I’m asking you to make a contribution. As I’m sure you know, the other side is very well funded and they’ve hired one of the most powerful lobbyists. I’m standing up for democracy and clean water. I’m reaching out to you because I assume you feel the same as I do.

My goal is to raise $1,000 today, I’m over half way there.

Please go to www.cleanwaterportland.org to make your contribution. Every little bit really does help this movement keep moving.

Thanks so much for you time and your support.

Sincerely,

ZIA MCCABE
