Proverbs 29:25 " Fearof Man proves to be asnare.....Those who trustin the Lord are kept Safe."

October is MentalHealth Awareness Month.Given that October 31,2009 is the anniversarydate that my siblings and Iburied our parents whohad died within days ofeach other and as the eld-est of the family, I thoughtit timely that I write aboutthe mental illness in MYfamily in order to encour-age millions of other peo-ple suffering from mentalillness to seek medicalattention.

We have all heard thehorror stories of familydisputes, probate issuesand even arguments overseating arrangements atfunerals that brought tolight the dark side of peo-ple. It is recognized bymental health experts thattraumatic events likedeath, divorce, loss of ajob can trigger psychosisin persons with border-line personality disorders.

In her last days, mymother advised us thatshe no longer wanted tolive and begged us to com-plete the "do not resitate"authorization forms. Myfather said he didn't wantto live without her and leftthe Veteran's Hospitalagainst medical advice.While waiting for mymother to be returned tothe family home on hos-pice, my baby brother andsister advised me that mymother wanted my sisterto be in charge instead of

me. They then ran up anddown the street knockingon the neighbors' doorscreaming, "My mom isdying, I don't want this be.in the neighborhood,""she just got out of mentalinsane asylum." My sisterstarted crying, "Sandra istrying to set me on fire,""she beat my mother witha skillet, she tried to poi-son our food, she tried torun a car through thehouse. She sleeps in a carat a dead man's house. Icalled 911 to see if Ishould try to get them to ahospital.

In 2008, a year beforeour loss , I voluntarily sub-mitted "MY OWN SELF"for psychiatric treatmentafter I was publicallyhumiliated by theDemocratic Party report-ing to the Dallas MorningNews that I was underinvestigation for voterfraud stemming from adispute in the ObamaPrecinct Caucus. It hadbecome common for mypolitical adversaries,James Fantroy, DwaineCaraway, Rufus Shaw andJP Thomas Jones to publi-cally characterize me ascrazy. Like everybodyelse, I wanted to avoid thestigma of seeing a psychia-trist, but I came to realizethe impact of my politicalactivism on my family,especially when our homeand personal vehicleswere firebombed onFather Day's in 2003, priorto a zoning case that myfamily and neighbors wereopposing. We were all sotraumatized by the arsonthat we were afraid that ifwe continued to oppose

the developers, we wouldface further retaliation. Tothis date, my sisterappeals to the DA, judges,and anybody that will lis-ten that I am torturing herbut I have not given up onmy efforts to get my fami-ly some help. Somestressful workplaces likethe US Post Office will payfor the treatment of theiremployees and familymembers. Our JP Courtsare now trained to assistparents of drug addictswho refuse to leave theirhomes. AlcoholicAnonymous is one placethat I sought for direc-tions. There is help. Call211 for a complete list ofagencies that can help youcope with family mem-bers.

The more publicity wecan get to educate notonly the mentally ill buttheir families, their co-workers, and most impor-tantly the law enforce-ment agencies. The closerwe come to eradicatingthe stigma that preventsthe mentally ill from get-ting help, more can gethelp and live productivelives.

It is most important thatfamilies prepare for death,prepare for funerals, andwills. It is important toknow that if you aredepressed or grieving overa loss, that it is not ashame to seek help. Iclose with this you mustbe a believer. I know first-hand, that FAITH can bethe difference betweenthose who survive andthose that lose theirminds. My faith in theCreator is intact.

Dallas ISDNews You

Ought to Know

We're getting down tothe wire in this year's racefor the White House. Inour digital world of some-times dizzying 24/7 infor-mation overload, bothpolitical camps are relyingheavily on media in itsplethora of forms to reachyou and influence yourvote. As we draw closer toNovember 6, you are cor-rect if you think the inten-sity of the political ads hasincreased. According toNielsen data, this is espe-cially true if you live in anyof this election's nine key"swing" or "battleground"states - Colorado, Florida,Iowa, Nevada, NewHampshire, Ohio,Pennsylvania, Virginia orWisconsin. Nielsen's sum-marized DesignatedMarket Areas (DMAs)within each state showthat year-to-date throughthe beginning ofSeptember; PresidentObama's reelection cam-paign has saturated thosestates with almost230,000 ads, more than

twice the ads from thecampaign of his opponent,former MassachusettsGov. Mitt Romney(87,000). The lone excep-tion here is Wisconsin,where Gov. Romney'scampaign leads by 561ads.

How much influence dothese ads actually have?Data shows that an effec-tive advertising campaignin a swing state can meanthe difference betweenvictory and defeat onElection Day. It might bemost interesting to watchwhich way Ohio goes, asno Republican presidentialcandidate has ever wonthe race without the assis-tance of this critical state'selectoral votes. Thus far inOhio, the margin of thenumber of ads is thegreatest, with the Romneycampaign running justover 17,000 ad units; andthe Obama camp runningnearly three times thatamount - 51,000 ads.

Then there are thePresidential debates. Atthis writing, Nielsen rat-ings show that an estimat-ed 67.2 million peoplewatched the first debatebetween President Obamaand Gov. Romney. Thatwas up 28% over the firstpresidential debate in2008 between then-Senator Barack Obamaand Senator John McCain.Eleven networks broad-cast live coverage from9:00 to 10:30 pm, while

Telemundo aired coverageon tape delay.

To put our viewership ofthis year's first presiden-tial debate in a differentperspective, 111.3 millionpeople watched the NewYork Giants beat the NewEngland Patriots in theSuper Bowl this year, mak-ing it the highest rated TVbroadcast in U.S. history.So, the Super Bowl stillreigns supreme.

As for the 2012 politicalconventions, according toNielsen's analysis of boththe Republican andDemocratic gatherings,nearly as many people(57% of all U.S.Households or 65.4 mil-lion homes) tuned into atleast one of those politicalevents as watched the firstpresidential debate. That,however, is down from64.5% (or 73.2 millionhomes) in 2008. Taking alook at the viewership ofeach of the speeches byeach candidate (given onthe final night of each con-vention), PresidentObama had a slight edge,with 13.7% of viewers toGov. Romney's 12.5%.Breaking it down even fur-ther, both candidateswere pretty much neck-in-neck with people over age55. Almost 26% of thisdemographic tuned in towatch Gov. Romney, and25% of the same demowatched PresidentObama's speech. Eachparty, of course, selected

high-profile speakers toaddress their respectiveconventions; with theRepublicans choosing vet-eran actor Clint Eastwoodand the Democrats engag-ing former President BillClinton. The ratingsresults there: Clintondrew slightly more view-ers across all demograph-ics. However, viewershipamong males was closest,with 9.7% watchingEastwood's speech and9.8% tuning into Clinton.Are you seeing again howmuch your choice of whatyou watch matters? It isas though you are "voting"with your remote (only interms of TV though, notthe voting booth. There,you have to show up inperson).

The political "games"continue with the vicepresidential debate, twomore presidential debatesand yes, intensified adsfrom both sides. In everycolumn, I show you all themany ways in which YouMatter with every con-sumer choice you make.But, you matter more nowthan ever, and it does notmatter whether you areblue or red. According tothe recent African-American Consumers: StillVital, Still Growing report,approximately 71% or 28million of us are of votingage. So, whatever thecolor of your state, you'vegot the power. Make sureyou use it on November 6.

HOROSCOPES October 18 - 24

"Be filled with theSpirit…singing and makingmelody in your heart to theLord" (Ephesians 5:18-19).Sometimes our lives arefilled with so much noisethat we have a difficulttime allowing our heart tobe filled with the Spirit.When this occurs, we alsohave a difficult time prais-ing and being thankful toGod as well.

If you have children, you

know how difficult it can beto find time to fill yourselfspiritually. If you are work-ing, you know how difficultit can be to structure yourtime to be more spiritual atwork. If you are in college,you know that it's difficultto find time to think ofother things besides theimmediate situation of get-ting work done for yourclasses. All of us havesomething that is clamor-ing for our time.

But in the book ofEphesians, Paul is remind-ing us to fill ourselves withGod's spirit. How can wedo this?

Well, one thing that wecan do is take time in themorning, before we startour day, to pray. If you onlyhave five minutes to pray,

then pray with a sincereheart for five minutes. Ifyou have time to pray ataround lunch for a few min-utes, then do so. However,throughout your day, allowyour love for Christ to belike a melody that lingers inyour spirit. This way youcan have good positivethoughts about your faith,your Savior, and your rela-tionship with Christ.

What does this mean?This means that you aretaking time out of your dayto spend with Him (Christ).The more time we spendwith Him, the more timeyou will want to spend.Then you will find yourselfreading the scriptures justa little bit more. Our rela-tionship with Christ is likeany other kind of relation-

ship we may have withsomeone; we have to putthe effort forward to spendtime with them. We haveto do the same thing tospend time with our Lordand Savior.

Can you find time tospend with your Lord andSavior today? Are you will-ing to slow down a tad inorder to speak with Him? Ifyou are, then you are onyour way to building a bet-ter relationship with Christ.I know I am ready to beginimproving my relationshipwith Christ by being"…filled with theSpirit…and singing andmaking melody in…" myheart to my Lord(Ephesians 5:18-19).Amen? Amen.

A Little Bit of Faith: Learn to be Filled with the Spirit

Psalm 25 may be classi-fied as an instructionalpsalm where the psalmist isconveying instruction con-cerning some aspect of theawesome character of theLord. With utmost confi-dence and trust, Davidturns to the Lordunashamedly in verse 2,assured that if one placeshis trust and hope in theLord, he will not be put toshame - "O my God, I trustin thee: let me not beashamed, let not mine ene-

mies triumph over me."Yes, those who truly trustin the Lord are guaranteedthat their prayers will beanswered and their needswill be met. Our Lord willanswer the cries of His peo-ple but you have to wait forthe answer and your prais-es will come as Psalm 40:1says - "I waited patiently forthe Lord: and He inclinedunto me, and heard mycry."

In verses 4-7, David isearnestly calling upon theLord to show, lead andteach him God's way-"Shew me thy ways, OLORD; teach me thy paths"(v. 4). It is really a gloriousprivilege to be able to askthe Lord to guide your

steps in this age of dark-ness. We need the Lord toguide us all the way toglory as Psalm 73:24assures - "Thou shalt guideme with thy counsel, andafterward receive me toglory." The psalmist spokeof the loving kindness ofthe Lord and he also askedthat the Lord to "remem-ber not the sins of is youth"(vs. 6-7). Thank God thatbecause of His mercy, Hehas pardoned our sins.

Extolling the flawlesscharacter of the Lord,David prays for forgivenessfor his great iniquity inverses 8-11 - "For thyname's sake, O LORD, par-don mine iniquity; for it isgreat" (v. 11). In verses 12-

14, David declares that theperson that truly has beeninstructed in God's wordwill fear Him. A saint ofGod is truly wise when hefears or reverences God.

Finally, David concludesthis psalm in verses 15-22by praying that the Lordwould deliver him from thetroubles prompted by hisenemies - "Mine eyes areever toward the LORD; forhe shall pluck my feet outof the net" (v. 15). And inverse 21 - "Let integrity anduprightness preserve me;for I wait on thee", Davidwas confident that the Lordwould deliver him becausehis hope was in the Lord.

May God Bless!

(AP) - President Obamatook charge and wonthe second debateagainst Republican can-didate Mitt Romney onTuesday night, October16, 2012. In everydebate, whatever theformat, whatever thequestions, there is oneand only one way toidentify the winner:Who commands theroom? Who drives thenarrative? Who is incharge? On Tuesdaynight, it was clear thatPresident Obama won. From a substantiveview, there was oneargument that the pres-ident was seeking tomake over and over:Don't let Mitt Romneyfool you; he's a rich guyout to protect the inter-ests of the well-off, notthe middle-class.That's why he refer-enced not justRomney's tax plan, butRomney's taxes, thefact that the Republicanpresidential nomineepaid a lower rate on hismillions than ordinaryworking-class folks doon theirs, the fact thatRomney has invested

heavily in China. Andwhen Romney went atObama with almost theexact same argumenthe used so devastating-ly against NewtGingrich-"have youchecked your pen-sion?"-Obama cameback with, "I haven'tlooked at my pension;it's not as big as yours.(For super-wonks itharked back to a 1982debate between MarioCuomo and the super-wealthy Lew Lehrman,when Cuomo reachedover, grabbedLehrman's hand, andsaid, "Nice watch,Lou!")As a tactical matter,President Obama exe-cuted one of the tough-est of maneuvers: thecounterpunch. WhenRomney attacked himfor hindering the use ofcoal, the Presidentrecalled an appearanceof Romney as governorof Massachusetts,where he vowed to shutdown a coal-firedpower plant. And in talking about anarea where the Obamaadministration has clearv u l n e ra b i l i t i e s - t h eattack on the Americanconsulate in Libya-

Obama summoned theinherent high ground ofthe presidency to con-demn the "politiciza-tion" of the attack.To be clear: There wasnothing particularly offabout Romney. He hadseveral strongmoments, most espe-cially contrasting whatObama said he woulddo in 2008 with what infact had happened overthe past four years. Thiswas, and is, the singlemost powerful argu-ment against returningObama to the WhiteHouse, and Romneydeployed it effectively.It's just that Obamafound what he couldnot find in Denver-acoherent thread tomake the case that heunderstands the mid-dle-class in a wayRomney does not. Forthose Democratic parti-sans wondering where"the 47 percent" argu-ment was, Obama wassaving it for the closewhich-because of a pre-debate coin flip-Romney could notanswer. In this sense, itwas like Reagan'sfamous "are you betteroff?" question from1980.

President ObamaTakes Charge and

Wins Second Debate

By Mrs. Ester Davis, EDTV

At this late date lead-ing up to election time, Iam still running intoyoung people, collegegraduates down thathave a very cavalierindifferent-to-arrogantattitude about VOTING.

Ambassador Ron Kirkis the 16th UnitedStates TradeRepresentative and amember of PresidentObama's Cabinet. Anattorney and formermayor of Dallas, he hasled the ObamaAdministration's nego-tiations and dialoguewith partners aroundthe world. Wheneverwe can catch up withhim, he is a guest on"The Ester Davis Show",talking aboutWashington and histrade mission pursuesacross the globe.

In our last interview,

he mentioned that oneof the best things wecan do for our childrenis to get them a pass-port and have themtravel to some of thesecountries that do nothave the privilegesavailed Americans.They will not onlyappreciate the groundAmerica walks on, butthey will certainly be inline to VOTE. And therewill be a better under-standing of why every-one wants to come toAmerica. Now, it is fairto access that part ofthis blame is not totallythe fault of the youngand immature, someadult(s) led the way tothis line of thinking.

History is so power-ful. For twelve years.Let me repeat, fortwelve years after theCivil War, United Statessoldiers helped makesure that AfricanAmericans would get toVOTE in the South,However, after the sol-diers left, the South"invented" many waysto prevent AfricanAmericans from voting.The key word here is

"invented". Inventingtactical measures tohinder VOTING is onething, but we have ageneration plus thattotally dismisses theimprisoned, beaten andother humiliations onthe way to freedom andcivil rights that AfricanAmericans endured. Tobe clear, this article isabout another mattercompletely. What oth-ers do to us is one issue.What we are talkingabout is what we do toourselves by not VOT-ING.

Speaking of history,Franklin D. Rooseveltsaid once, "nobody willever deprive theAmerican people of theright to vote except theAmerican people them-selves and the only waythey could do this is byNOT VOTING. PleaseVOTE.

The problem withDirk Nowitzki playingthe waiting game withpotential knee surgeryis it becomes more andmore likely that he'llmiss significant timethis season.

Nowitzki said he willreduce his workloadover the next week --icing the knee a lot anddoing low-impact con-ditioning work -- andthen make a decisionon whether to undergoan operation that typi-cally has a recovery

time of three to sixweeks.

Colorful guardDelonte West com-pared his one-day sus-pension from the DallasMavericks to a disputeat a family barbecue.

Coach Rick Carlislesuspended West forconduct detrimental to

the team after a locker-room outburst follow-ing Monday night's pre-season win over theHouston Rockets. TheMavericks reinstatedWest less than 24 hourslater after he met withCarlisle and Donnie

Nelson, the team'spresident of basketballoperations.

The Stars, an affiliateof the NHL’s Dallasfranchise, might be themost anxious for theirstarring role. Last sea-son, Texas finished lastin the WesternConference and postedthe worst record in itsthree-year history.Thanks to a new coach[Willie Desjardins], anew mentality and aninflux of young playersto bolster the veterans,though, Texas appearsready to begin anew.

With the presidentialelection mere weeks away,Texas Secretary of StateEsperanza "Hope" Andradeis on a mission to dissemi-nate the most accurateinformation on voting pro-cedures to concernedTexans, and to lay to restany fears about irregulari-ties at the polls.

Andrade's office hasstepped up a public aware-ness blitz, begun during theprimary elections earlierthis year, that has beennamed "Make Your Mark onTexas Through Voting." Thecampaign includes votereducation, outreach to localelection officials and eventhe promotion of a newmobile app that puts themost important voting infor-mation in the palms of citi-zens' hands.

"When we started thecampaign, we wanted tomake sure that we would beable to provide, that all theinformation would be readi-ly available," Andrade saidabout the app, calledSmartTXVoter. "And so whatwe're seeing, what theagency we hired was seeing,is that everyone is now com-municating through theirsmart phone. I think over 50percent of people have asmart phone and are access-ing it."

SmartTXVoter, which canbe downloaded from theiTunes App and Google Playstores, can be used toschedule reminders for spe-cific voting dates, researchvoting procedures onlineand even inform a voterabout his or her registrationstatus. The app is viewablein English and Spanish, andhas already had roughly4000 downloads since itslaunch earlier this month.

"So all of this informationis readily available in thepalm of your hand, and thatwas the purpose," Andradesaid. "We wanted to makesure that we could say that,that anyone who says, 'Oh,I'm too busy' or 'I don't haveaccess to it' that we say, 'No,you have access to it.'"

Andrade said that thelocal election administratorsand community leaders shehas visited with haveexpressed excitement aboutthe election and gratitudefor her outreach efforts.

"What everyone is saying

is that they're glad that weare providing the resources,that we're providing all theinformation out there,because this allows for peo-ple to be able to not usethat as an excuse, that theydon't have the information,"Andrade said.

One of Andrade's maingoals is increasing the num-ber of registered voters, andshe said that the news onthat front looks promising.

"At this time, we're at13.5 million registered vot-ers," Andrade said. "As Itravel throughout the state,everyone is saying thatthey've seen an increase inthe number of voter regis-tration cards they'vereceived, so we're hopingthat by the end of next weekthat number will haveincreased. 13.5 million iswhat we had in 2008, and soalready we have that, andthat's not including all thenew ones."

Andrade said that shespends a large chunk of hertime addressing some of themost common complaintsthat Texans have about vot-ing, and giving pep talks tovoters that she hopes willcounter the defeatism andcynicism about the processthat some voters may feel.

"We're trying to bustthose myths of 'It takes toolong,' or 'My vote doesn'tcount,'" Andrade said. "Itabsolutely does count, andif you do early voting, whichis Oct. 27 through Nov. 2, itwon't take you but a fewminutes. So that's the mes-sage that we're taking out."

Senate Bill 14, the voteridentification law passed bythe Texas Legislature in2011 but so far blocked bythe federal courts, has beena source of confusion andconcern for some voters.Among other changes tovoting procedures, the lawwould require that mostvoters present a non-expired photo ID at theirpolling place in order to casta ballot.

Some state legislators,such as Sen. Rodney Ellis (D-Houston), complained thatthe extensive media cover-age of the issue often failedto get across to the publicthat the law has not goneinto effect. As part of hervoter education campaign,Andrade emphaticallyreminds voters that S.B. 14is not being enforced, andbelieves that the issue willnot significantly affect theNovember ballot.

"The simple message is:there is no voter ID, youcontinue to vote in the samemanner that you've alwaysvoted - that is, by presentingyour voter registration card,or for a list of documentsyou can go on our website,"Andrade said. "I don't wantto confuse the public bygoing into detail. The simplemessage is there's no voterID.

"And I'm not asked thatoften," Andrade adds. "Infact, I'm usually the one that

has to prompt that and say,'I want to remind everyonethat there's no voter ID.'"

Likewise, Andradebelieves that the recent con-troversy surrounding adirective to county votingofficials to purge deceasedTexans from the voter rollsshould not weigh on theminds of voters. A lawsuitwas filed by four living vot-ers who each received a let-ter warning them that theirvoter registrations would becanceled if they didn't provewithin 30 days that theywere alive. The four plain-tiffs were among approxi-mately 80,000 voters whowere identified as "poten-tially deceased" by federalrecords.

A settlement was reachedthat shifted the burden tocounty registrars who mustnow prove, in the case ofsuch "weak" matches thatrely on incomplete federaldata, that a voter was actu-ally deceased.

"My responsibility is tomake sure that we provide aclean voter roll, which we'vetried doing," Andrade said."We had a little setback, butthe process continues.Those 'strong' matches havebeen removed, and in thecase of the 'weak' matches,every election administratoris looking at that. So wedon't see anything that real-ly changed other than wehad a temporary setback."

Andrade is at the begin-ning of her fifth year on thejob as Texas' chief electionsofficer. She credits her manyyears as an entrepreneur inSan Antonio for her straight-forward, no-nonsenseapproach to ensuring fairand orderly elections.

"My background is, I wasa businesswoman, and soyou gave me the goal and Iwent after it," Andrade said."My goal is to make surethat all Texans have all theinformation that they need,and that's what I do. I go outevery day - I just got backfrom a long week of travel,and visiting chambers ofcommerce, and visiting withany group that will hear us -so if you set me up, I'mthere. That's my commit-ment."

Andrade anticipates a 22-hour workday on Nov. 6,starting at 7:01 a.m. whenthe polls open. She antici-pates a night of tension andexcitement, but also a nightwhen the diligent work ofelection officials and pollworkers will be sufficient tokeep the machinery of vot-ing running smoothlythroughout the state.

"I am looking forward to agood election, and that'sbecause I know how hardour local election officialswork on making that hap-pen, and also I'm optimisticthat our Texas registeredvoters will go out and vote."
