PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!

Police Warning (Send to Everyone)


I'm passing this along! People are R E AL L Y crazy!
If you are female, take heed! If you are male and have a
significant female in your
life who you care about, whether it's your wife,
your girlfriend, your  daughter, your sister, your niece, your cousin,
your next door neighbor;
whomever..............pass this along! Always,
"Better safe than sorry!"


A man came over and offered his services
as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She
said no, but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the car. The
man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left
the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at
the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could
not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the
odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the
gentleman at the gas station.
She then noticed the men were
immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that
moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn
repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt
pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath.
Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously
injured her.
This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it
is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal
from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times dangerous than
the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and
make sure you don't accept cards at any given time you are alone or from
someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and
slipping you a card when they offer their services.

PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY
FEMALE YOU KNOW!!!!

Program Description
The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) provides
commodity foods to low-income households on participating Indian
reservations and Alaska Native Villages, and to Native American families
residing in designated areas near those reservations. Households qualify for the program based
on their income and resources, and must be re-certified at least every 12 months. Many Native
Americans participate in the FDPIR as an alternative to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP), usually because they do not have easy access to food stores. Households may
not participate in FDPIR and SNAP in the same month.

FDPIR offers a variety of commodities to help participants maintain a balanced diet. In many
locations, fresh produce may be selected in lieu of canned fruit and vegetables. Program
participants also receive nutrition education to help them make the most nutritious use of the
USDA commodity foods.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must have cash resources of less than $1,751
($3,001 for households with elderly members). If you are an applicant household in Alaska, to

household; $40,008 if six people live in the household; $44,688 if seven people live in the
household; or $49,368 if eight people live in the household. For larger households, add $4,680 for
