louisiana legislators who delete their emails unread

in the 2008 regular louisiana legislative session, corrupt lake charles democratic state senator, willie landry mount introduced her senate bill no. 312 which calls for the mass medicating without informed consent of louisianaians by mandating the fluoridation of our water supply.

we didnt even know about the bill until we were contacted by an out of state group, you'd think that a bill of this magnitude would be reported on by every newspaper and television station in the state - so much for the main stream media keeping us informed.

the only reference to sb312 that we could find in the media was a short blurb in the baton rouge morning advocate paper in which they attempted to marginalize those opposed to fluoridation out to be conspiracy theorists -- this is despite the fact that many scientists, chemists, nobel prize winning scientists and other exceptional scientists and researchers from leading university's and institution's - you know, people that could hardly be called conspiracy theorists, have been researching and reporting for years on the health hazards associated with humans and animals ingesting fluoride.

Fluoride And The Pineal Gland
'Up until the 1990s, no research had ever been conducted to determine the impact of fluoride on the pineal gland - a small gland located between the two hemispheres of the brain that regulates the production of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the onset of puberty and helps protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals.

It is now known - thanks to the meticulous research of Dr. Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England - that the pineal gland is the primary target of fluoride accumulation within the body.' Read more...
sb312 had already passed both the senate and house health committees and was before a conference committee.

like many others, we emailed and phoned the offices of the members of the conference committee but sb312 passed out of the senate.

that left the hope of stopping sb312 in the state house. so we emailed all the house members or thought we did. if any reps. name is missing its because we have never heard back or overlooked emailing them.

but see -- its pointless to email louisiana legislators. some, not all maybe, will just delete your email unread. if we hadnt requested a read receipt we would have never known the emails were deleted unread.

arent emails to government officials a public record? if so, then isnt deleting them the same as destroying a public record? aside from that, what this shows is that the legislature is not listening to the concerns of the citizenry -- and yet they think that they have the right to or are even intelligent enough to call for the mass medication of the citizenry by mandating the addition of a dangerous chemical to our water supply.

sb312 was signed into law on 06 july 2008 by gov. piyush "bobby" jindal.

look at the dates the email(s) were sent and the date that they were deleted.
