*By Doris Stegall Santa Monica*

I am literally sick to my stomach (“H2-Oh!” Nov. 26). I cannot drink the poison — fluoridated water — that the city is forcing on us.

I have stopped drinking water. I don’t know how long I can hold out with freshly squeezed juices for my liquids. I have the city of Santa Monica to thank for my dilemma. The carbon filtration system I’ve used for many years was costly, but it won’t filter out fluoride. The city should have offered us an alternative. They are wrong and I pray that every City Councilmember is defeated who forced this travesty on us.

The citizens who care about their health and the health of their loved ones should band together and sue the City of Santa Monica.
