I have a plan for how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can end amalgam in government programs (currently our biggest barrier to victory over mercury fillings). This week Florida’s #1 newspaper, the Tampa Bay Times, drew valuable attention to this plan by publishing my guest column.
RFK Jr. can end amalgam use in the federal government’s dental programs with the “stroke of a pen.” As I explain in the column:
“As a candidate for president, John F. Kennedy promised to stop federal housing segregation with a ‘stroke of the pen’ – a promise he kept. Today his nephew, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., can do likewise – making Americans healthier and our environment safer by ending the continued use of toxic mercury in federal programs.”

Recognize, folks, that Secretary Kennedy has an incredibly full plate of challenges. So today we launch a grassroots campaign to make mercury in dentistry a priority for action in Washington, DC. To start, please spread the word about our cause by sharing this email or the link to my guest column far and wide on your social media.
With your help putting amalgam on Secretary Kennedy’s plate, we can end mercury fillings for soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines; the institutionalized and incarcerated; Native American and Alaska Natives; and children receiving dentistry from government programs…with the stroke of a pen!
