First, on behalf of the whole FAN team we would like to wish all our supporters and their families a very happy and safe New Year. We would also like to thank all who have donated so generously to help fund our efforts to end fluoridation. The best way we can reward your continued confidence in our legal, organizational and educational efforts will be to win the TSCA trial in 2021. Some news on that now.
Our Federal Court TSCA trial against the EPA will resume on Jan 7, 2021.
We will publish the details on how to join the zoom call early next week. Meanwhile, yesterday, working with Jay Sanders Michael selected more excerpts from the videotaped testimony of CDC…. And puts the testimony into context. Here is his new video:
Looking for a cartoonist. One of our favorite cartoons – which we used again this year – is of the little frog strangling a heron while being swallowed: “Never Give Up!” We are looking for a cartoonist to do a happy sequel to this cartoon: a happy frog sitting safely on the ground with the frustrated and defeated heron flying away. Any takers? We would like to use this for new Year’s Day and for any other victory we achieve in 2021. We would be happy to have more than one to share with you. Meanwhile, we found this on the internet:
We do not have the name of the photographer and if anyone knows please let us know. Meanwhile, in our fundraiser we are still some way from our goal of raising $120,000 for our 2021 budget by midnight (PT) tonight, but like the little frog, we are “hanging on.”
An update on our fundraiser. We had the best day yesterday of the whole fundraiser. Our current totals stand at $82,006 from 557 supporters.
Our sixth super-angel has agreed to double all donations up to a total of $500 today and will add another $500 if we can reach 600 supporters by midnight (PT) tonight. So please consider making donations in the names of other friends and family members. Remember all donations are tax-deductible in the USA, so please consider giving a contribution to FAN instead of uncle Sam!

Below are “fighting fluoride” words to several well-known songs
provided to us by Dr. Bruce Spittle who will be joining us from NZ with his guitar to lead us in couple of these. Won’t it be fun to sing with each other around the world. And don’t we need some fun?
