Alan Levine Secretary of DHH QUITS

dhh internal email obtained by wst... why do we have to have jews running the department of health & hospitals?

with this criminal's help, louisiana got a mandatory water fluoridation bill (SB 312) signed into law by that weasel piyush "bobby" jindal. the bill was authored by corrupt criminal lake charles democratic state senator willie landry mount and was pushed through the state house by monroe rino kay "bucket of bolts" katz.

Good afternoon.

Well, as many of you may have heard by now, I have announced my decision to step down as Secretary of the Department of Health and Hospitals. This was a tough decision for me to make, but the right one for me and my family.

When I got to Baton Rouge in January, 2008, I was welcomed to Louisiana with open arms and treated as though I was family. A day hasn’t gone by when I have not met someone new who made me laugh, or be in awe at their story. Louisiana is a treasure and a state I’m proud to call my adopted home.

We have been through a Mississippi river flood, an oil spill in the Mississippi, two major hurricanes, a worldwide pandemic, major gas explosions in North Louisiana and a series of financial challenges unparalleled in state history. And that’s just in the last two years. Now, we have an oil spill we have been on the front lines of fighting. And in each case, DHH has responded with a professional urgency I am proud of. People are safer because DHH was effective.

We have pushed for many reforms. The legislature passed most of them. I know everyone at DHH doesn’t agree with positions I have taken, and in fact, some may have passionately disagreed. I will tell you that criticism is an essential part of governing, and I’m grateful to those of you who have given me constructive advice and criticism with the goal of helping us make better decisions. The reforms we pushed for, I believe, are essential to the future of Louisiana, particularly given what will be ongoing financial challenges that will last for several years. We must be smaller, more agile, and continue finding ways to deliver services cost effectively.

I’m proud of the progress we have made related to our children. We have continued to lead the nation in insuring children, and we have moved from 48th in the nation in child immunization to #2 in the nation. This has impacted our overall health ranking. It’s something everyone at DHH should be proud of.

I want to thank all of you for the commitment you make to our mission every day. I know you believe in it, and it’s a blessing to be able to serve. I am someone who believes in prayer, and I promise you I will pray for your success because so many people depend on it.

Your new Secretary, Bruce Greenstein, is the right guy for the job. He will be moving here from Washington State, where he currently serves as the Worldwide director of health care for Microsoft. He has worked at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and for the GAO. So, he has a great track record of public and private service. He’s got integrity, and I’m so glad he was willing to serve.

I will be here until August 1. At that time, Tony Keck will be the acting secretary until Bruce arrives September 13.

For those of you who are die hard LSU fans, today, I’m wearing my LSU tie as a tribute to those of you who have had some fun with me over the last couple of years. But rest assured, on October 9, 2010, in Gainesville, I will be wearing Orange and Blue! But know that that game will always be special to me, as it will remind me of the great people I have met, and friends I have made in the great state of Louisiana.

Thank you!

Alan

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.

'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.

Fluoride and Organized Dentistry: Big Losers this Election Day

New York – November 12, 2008 -- Fifty-three cities rejected fluoridation in referenda held in four states on November 4, 2008, according to the Fluoride Action Network (FAN).

Lobbied by the Nebraska Dental Association and supported by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Nebraska legislature passed a law in April 2008, over the Governor’s veto, to require all Nebraska cities with populations over 1,000 to add fluoride chemicals into water supplies unless cities opt-out by 2010. Forty-nine Nebraska cities said “no thanks” in referenda on Election Day.

Corning NY residents passed a citizen-initiated referendum to rescind their city council's right to decide the issue for them - effectively halting fluoridation. A pro-fluoridation dentist raised $100,000, mostly from dental organizations, to fund the fluoridation scheme. Corning joins 15 NY State communities that have rejected fluoridation in past years.

Also voting down fluoridation: Prairie du Chien, Wisconisn; Jackman and Moose River, Maine.

“Once again we have seen confirmed - from Maine to Nebraska - that informed citizens, when given a choice, will reject fluoridation," says FAN Executive Director, Paul Connett, PhD. “This is not surprising considering twenty-three studies now link fluoride exposure to lowered IQ.”

According to Connett, these rejections bode well for a citizen fight back in Louisiana. After years of trying, the ADA and the Louisiana Dental Association expended much money and lobbying efforts to finally convince a novice group of Louisiana State Legislators to pass a fluoridation mandate law this year. However, cities can still opt out after petitioning 15 percent of registered voters for a referendum which must then pass by a majority of voters.

Alamo Heights, Texas rejected fluoridation in September 2008. A city council member who is a retired geophysicist, with a keen interest in research and the time to do it, confronted Texas “fluoridation experts” who were unable to answer important safety questions. As a result, the council unanimously said “No” to fluoridation.

Other US cities rejecting fluoridation in 2008 prior to Election Day: Littleton and Yarmouth, Massachusetts; Poughkeepsie, NY; Manila, California; Marion, Wisconsin.

In Canada: Quebec City, Quebec; Dryden, Welland, Pelham, and parts of Thorold, Ontario

In the UK: Isle of Man; Pendle, Hyndburn, and Lancashire, England.

In New Zealand: Alexandra, Earnslceugh/Manuheriki and Cromwell.

H. RES. 1460 in the matter of representative charles b. rangel

a couple of days ago it was reported that la-06 congressman don cazayoux had voted to give his fellow congressman charles b. rangel an "ethics pass" by his yea vote to table h. res 1460.

according to house roll call vote #609 of thursday, 18 september 2008, congressman cazayoux was joined in voting yea to table the resolution by his fellow louisiana congressmen william jefferson and charlie melancon.

other interesting yea votes to table h. res. 1460 from the republican side of the aisle were those cast by ron paul, wayne gilchrest, walter jones, james ramstad and dana rohrabacher.

h.res. 1460 was filed on thursday. the text was unavailable online that day and friday because, according to the library of congress, (thomas.loc.gov) it hadnt been sent to them from the government printing office. so it was saturday before we could read the actual text. in the meantime, the only information that they had was the name of the sponsor, :that creepy, sack of ohio rethuglican dung, john boehner.

congressman boehner you might recall is a suspected alcoholic (and serial tanning bed abuser) who on more than one occasion has made incoherent speeches from the house floor in which he famously weeps over the iraq war see boehner weeps & boehner weeps again, a war which he enthusiastically supports. so as far as we're concerned, congressman boehner is just as big a criminal as he would have us believe that congressman rangel is.

just yesterday (sunday 21 september 2008) congressman boehner said on abc's "this week" program that 'treasury's bailout package should help only wall street, not main street.'

anyway, back to congressman cazayuox. how could congressman cazayoux in good conscience and coming from the most corrupt state in the nation, vote to table this resolution? furthermore, what is especially egregious about congressman cazayoux's vote to table h. res.1460 is that he claims that he was a prosecutor in pointe coupee parish -- although apparently not a very good one -- despite his campaign websites' insistence that he never lost a jury trial (notice that they dont tell you just how many jury trials that he actually had) -- hence his desperation to become a career politician.

we dont support "dr." bill cassidy for congress either. cassidy's support of lake charles democrat willie landry mount's sb312 the louisiana mandatory drinking water fluoridation bill, is all the evidence you need to understand that cassidy is a quack and is unfit to hold any office of public trust including his present office of louisiana state senator.

"dr." cassidy's dangerous quackiness, incompetence and corruption should be glaringly apparent especially in light of the actions taken by tennessee state representative joey hensley. representative hensley also a medical doctor and also a republican, spoke out against and stopped efforts to fluoridate tennesse's drinking water.
see also 50 reasons to oppose fluoridation by paul connett, phd. professor of chemistry, st. lawrence university, canton, new york. and the sb312 label in the footer of his post.

according to the louisiana secretary of state elections website, there is an independent running for congress from louisiana's sixth district - louisiana state representative michael jackson. this is who residents of the sixth congressional district should vote for.
