This Week on Democracy Matters: Fluoridation of Drinking Water and Laird Townsend of Project Word

On this week's program, we debate the longstanding practice of fluoridation of drinking water.  We discuss the public health benefits claimed by advocates and why some communities are saying "no" to fluoridation.  And Laird Townsend, founder of Project Word, on why the stories that should be making headlines, aren't.

Each week on Democracy Matters we bring you stories from the frontlines as communities bring rights-based organizing to their communities - asserting their local self-governing authority to make the critical decisions that affect their lives and their community.
