Members of We Are Change Colorado confronted a Denver advisory board for water about the ill health effects of fluoride, a known neuro-toxin, as well as other related information, including the work of propagandist Edward Bernays to add it to the nation's water supply (his work also spurned approval for lead and asbestos usage).

The group gave a presentation filled with objective information and convincing arguments... and standing up for the nation's health in their actions.

"No one's warning us not to drink the water, but they warn us not to ingest the toothpaste that has the same amount of fluoride," one member of Change argued.

The problems with public water supplies are well established-- for instance a recent controversy has arisen from an AP report that some 40% of the nation's water contains significant amounts of pharmaceutical drugs and other dangerous elements.

The Advisory Board to the City and County of Denver’s water treatment was confronted by We Are Change Colorado about the dangers of Fluoride on March 20th, 2008.

The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) of Denver Water is a 10-member volunteer committee whose function is to advise water department staff and commissioners on issues while encouraging and coordinating public participation in the water department’s policy making process.

The CAC exists as a result of the Colorado Foothills Agreement. In the late 1970s, Denver Water found itself in need of a new treatment plant and operating reservoir. Public concern over growth issues and potential environmental impact in the canyon where the reservoir was to be built led to the Foothills Agreement -- a pact between Denver Water, federal agencies, elected officials and the environmental community. Among other things, terms of the 1978 agreement required the formation of a citizen group charged with representing public interests.

The Denver Board of Water Commissioners recognizes that there is a need for full and timely public participation in the decision making process of the Board on important Board decisions and, to insure that participation, it has agreed to create a Citizens’ Advisory Committee with a substantial degree of independence. Under the Denver City Charter, the Board has not and legally cannot delegate to the committee any responsibility placed upon the Board by law.
