Friends of ALIPAC,

We debated about whether we should send you this material or not. After taking a vote on our website, 14 of 16 of our first ALIPAC activists to respond advised us to send you this notice.

We apologize that it is off topic a bit, yet we can all see how our government is failing to adequately enforce our existing immigration laws, financial market regulatory laws, and food safety laws.

There are strong concerns on the Internet that some or much of the Halloween candy on US shelves right now is contaminated with the substance called Melamine, which sickened and injured over 50,000 infants in China recently.

Let us clearly state that we do NOT have any direct evidence that there is scientifically confirmed toxins in the candy.

We are discussing the issue after a Youtube video from an outfit called JeepersMedia, which usually does toy reviews, is claiming the FDA will not provide evidence they have tested candies currently on US shelves that came from China containing milk products during the time of the mass Melamine poisonings.

We are also finding several articles that confirm that candies such as Kit Kat, Snickers, M&Ms, and Cadbury were pulled off of shelves in several Asian nations after reports of Melamine contamination.

Also, the FDA issued a letter on October 10, 2008 which has received very little media exposure and the letter warns US manufacturers to check their products carefully and let the FDA know if they (the companies) decide to do a recall on their products.

The FDA letter says....

"This letter is intended to ensure that members of the United States food manufacturing industry are aware of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) serious concern about the possibility that foods or food ingredients produced in China and exported to the United States may be contaminated with melamine or its analogues. "

We just wanted to make you aware of this information and provide it to you for you to review. We felt that as parents and grandparents and people that will be handing candy to trusting children tomorrow night, that this information should be considered.


To watch the video that raised the alarm bells, review our discussions on this matter, related articles, and the FDA letter, please proceed to this link.

We felt that as parents, we would want to be aware of these materials and that you might appreciate an opportunity to review them BEFORE Halloween.

Better safe than sorry.

We hope and pray that you and your family have a safe and happy holiday.
