My cousin had that happen to her here while back.  When she went to get her 
baby a social security card she marked Native and the woman marked through 
it. So my cousin called the woman on it and the woman got really hateful 
about it and demanded proof. 

After my cousin showed both their tribal enrollment cards and the babies 
birth certificate the woman said, "Well you cant get any money for it 
anyway," as if they were trying to get a handout or something. I guess thetas 
the kind of thing that happens when you have hillbillies running the state.

<<So I 
explain to them, that not only is it near the beginning of my 10 hour 
shift, but that my job consists primarily of strenuous labor (figuring I 
can scam an extra hour or so off the line this way), they send me back 
anyway, but with the new warning that if I'm going to pass out on the line, 
that I should tell someone first.  bastards.>>

My Mom is in charge of getting people to donate to blood assurance at her 
work, and the maintenance workers there never would donate in the mornings at 
all. They had Mom reschedule the time so the bloodmobile would come later in 
the day when they weren't doing any strenuous of work.  Ya'll might persuade 
the company you work for to do the same so you wouldnt be at risk.

Peace
