NEWS RELEASE - He Basically Tied Me To A Chair and Fed Me Beer and Popcorn

NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate ReleaseApril 21, 2001

The announcement of the largest series of lawsuits in U.S. history all started with being tied to a chair and fed beer & popcorn in a small town 150 miles north of Toronto

"I thought I was going to meet directors from the Canadian Dental Association"Washington D.C. - " It all started with beer & popcorn in a small town 150 miles north of Toronto, and now the same publicist who initiated one of the largest Class Action Lawsuits in Canadian history, is going to Washington D.C. on Tuesday to announce a series of legal actions that promise to make the tobacco industry lawsuits look miniscule by comparison. "Had I known what I know today, I would not have touched the mercury dental amalgam issue with a 10 foot pole. I just had no idea at the time, how sick people were and what was going to be involved to get their message out", states Wayne Obie, Media & Public Relations Director and Publicist for Talk International. "I first became involved with the mercury issue almost six years ago, quite by accident," states Obie. " I actually thought I was meeting with the directors of the Canadian Dental Association about a national public relations campaign. It was not until I arrived at a log cabin in Huntsville, Ontario, a small town 150 miles north of Toronto, that I realized Dr Riley was not a director of the CDA, but a new breed of dentist - one that saw mercury for the poison that it is. He looked me in the eye and stated, ' Silver Fillings contain over 50 % mercury. Mercury is the most toxic non-radio-active substance known to man and here is the proof. People need to know. I don't have any money. Will you help me?' For the next several hours I drank his beer and ate his popcorn while I reviewed the information before me. Little did I know then the impact mercury was going to have on my life for the next several years. I was not prepared for the shocking discoveries, the reports from the sick and injured, the statistics, the science and the long, hard, often heartbreaking road this issue would take me on."

After almost of two years research, Obie presented the case on mercury dental amalgam a.k.a. 'Silver Fillings' to Toronto law firms, and what appears to be the largest class action lawsuit in Canada's history, is before the courts awaiting Federal Certification. Now Obie is headed for the National Press Club in Washington D.C., on behalf of 'Americans against Mercury'.

'Americans against Mercury' is a coalition of scientists, doctors, professional organizations, environmentalists, patient support groups and individuals.

Obie is going to Washington D.C. armed with what experts agree will add up to many hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. legal actions. It is at this News Conference that the battle line against the proponents of mercury will be drawn in the sand.

Neither dentists, associations, state licensing boards, manufacturers or industrial polluters will be left unscathed by the legal actions and other initiatives being announced at the 9:30 a.m. News Conference at the Washington Press Club.

This time the target is not just mercury in dental fillings. It also includes mercury in medicines, thimerosol in vaccines, and mercury in the environment that is poisoning our air and water and entering the food chain.

"What is really unfortunate about this whole situation is that everyone on both sides of the issue knows just how dangerous mercury is. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that will be presented at the News Conference on this very fact. The use of mercury is on government phase out programs around the world. The issue is no longer about whether mercury is or is not safe. The issue is all about liability. 'Prove that it was mercury in your teeth that made you sick and not the mercury from the fish you ate or water you drank that poisoned you', is the defense. Meanwhile people are sick and dying and we are killing our environment. There are hundreds of thousands of people needing medical attention as a result of mercury poisoning and many in desperate need will have to wait for help while these issues go though the courts. I would really like to find a way to bring all sides to the table right now, minimize the lawsuits and start problem solving together. It would be a more beneficial and a cheaper solution for everyone", states Obie.NEWS CONFERENCE is scheduled for April 24 at 9:30 A.M. in the West Room of the National Press Club in Washington D.C. Full media kits will be provided to all accredited members of the press.

,

You just may get your wish! My understanding, from what I've read, is

that at the press conference in Washington D.C. on Tuesday Americans

against Mercury announce a series of legal actions. I'm no rocket

scientist, but I'm sure that involves suing someone..........or

several someone's.
