The City of Dallas And LocalNon-Profit Launching Affordable
Alternative To Payday Loans
In collaboration with the City of Dallas, Business and Community Lenders (BCL) of Texas helda press conference to announce the launch of a new Community Loan Center (CLC) of Dallas,an employer-based program which will provide affordable small dollar loans as an alternativeto high-interest, short-term payday and auto title loans.
Program staff was available to answer questions regarding the need for the program as wellas discuss features of the loans and projected outcomes for Dallas.
According to BCL of Texas, in Dallas alone, over 175 payday lenders are operating in what isa $5.9 billion dollar industry in Texas. According to the Office of the Consumer CreditCommissioner, $271 million in fees were charged to Dallas MSA residents in 2013.
In light of increasing regulation on the payday and auto title lending industry within Texascommunities, the Community Loan Center will offer an affordable and sustainable alternativeloan program, with opportunities to scale and replicate the program in other communitiesthroughout Texas. The City of Dallas supports this program as a community friendly programto combat and reduce asset poverty in Dallas.
A crowdfunding campaign for the Community Loan Center of Texas is underway onIndiegogo to raise funds for a new consumer loan product specifically created as an alternativeto high-interest, short-term payday and auto title loans. Funds will be used to start a pool ofcapital for the new small dollar loan program, which will soon be launched in Dallas, Austin,Houston, Laredo, College Station and Odessa, with more communities to be added as the pro-gram grows.

(AP) - President Barack Obama introduced his choice for attorney general Saturday as anaccomplished prosecutor from New York City who will carry on a "fierce commitment to equaljustice."
Obama argued at a White House ceremony that it's "pretty hard to be more qualified" forthe job of attorney general than Brooklyn federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch.
"Loretta might be the only lawyer in America who battles mobsters and drug lords and ter-rorists, and still has the reputation for being a charming people person," Obama said to laugh-ter from those who packed the Roosevelt Room for the announcement.
The 55-year-old Lynch would be the first African-American woman to serve as attorney gen-eral. She would replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder, who also was at Saturday'sannouncement and was the first black head of the Justice Department.
Lynch said she was humbled and thrilled at the prospect of leading "the only Cabinetdepartment named for an ideal."
"If I have the honor of being confirmed by the Senate, I will wake up every morning with theprotection of the American people my first thought," she said. "And I will work every day tosafeguard our citizens, our liberties, our rights, and this great nation which has given so muchto me and my family."

Let's talk about votingfirst. By now you know thatthe midterm election of2014 was shameful and thelowest turnout since WorldWar II. Older, white voters,who traditionally supportRepublicans went to thepolls 75% strong. Turnoutamong traditionallyDemocratic groups, theyoung, the "minoritized"and women was way downto 12%. On the local front,there are 1.2 million regis-tered voters in DallasCounty. Only 33% took thetime to vote. I simply do notunderstand this. And to beperfectly honest with you, Itried extremely hard tochoose another subject for
this week's article, but I sim-ply could not shake the urgeto pen thoughts on these"sad statistics".
Several weeks ago, I readthis other "sad set of statis-tics". New Orleans rakes inmore than $200 millionfrom a single annual three-day affair. It is called the "superbowl" of marketing toAfrican American women.Now, these statistics are notnews. For instant, AfricanAmericans are known aretrendsetters. We exercisereligiously more economicclout in our consumerism.And it never falls below50%. Eighty(80%)percent ofAfrican American con-sumers will tell a friendabout a product if they likeit or dislike it. Fifty-nine(59%)percent expectcompanies with largeAfrican American consumerbases to give back to theAfrican American communi-ty. Surprisingly,forty(40%)percent are morelikely to use a daily deal appthan the other markets. Wespent more than threehours a day on social media
and nearly 40% shop online.I could go on and on. Ofcourse, nothing you do is asecret anymore. It is all insomebody's fishbowl storedunder "disrespect".
But the point of this exer-cise of thoughts is the influ-ence we as AfricanAmericans bring to the tableand the way we report it tothe world. Reminds me ofanother piece I read thismonth from Dr. Willie Jolly,in Washington, D. C., some-thing about a $100 hat on aten-cent head. I amunapologetic, because vot-ing was not always free tothe African American. Weall owe a debt to our ances-tors. Repeating: We all. . .owe a debt.
A new year is a-coming.We can do better.

Republicans have prom-ised tough scrutiny ofObama's pick after years ofbattles with Holder, who isclose to Lynch and appoint-ed her as chair of a commit-tee that advises him on pol-icy. Holder has been anunflinching champion ofcivil rights in enforcing thenation's laws and his suc-cessor will be left to grapplewith several prominent civilrights issues that have beenelevated on his watch.
White House officials saidthey are leaving it up toSenate leaders to work outthe timeline for her confir-mation, with Obama callingfor approval "withoutdelay." But with Democratsfacing a long list of priori-ties before year's end
brings a shift to Republicancontrol, it's likely she won'tget a vote until next year.
Vermont Sen. PatrickLeahy, a Democrat and theoutgoing chairman of theSenate JudiciaryCommittee, said he willconsult about schedulingconfirmation hearings withIowa Sen. Chuck Grassley,the Republican who willtake over in January. "Shewill appear before theSenate Judiciary Committeein a public hearing after wehave had time to review herrecord," he said in a state-ment.
Lynch was chosen in largepart because the WhiteHouse sees her as likely towin approval from theSenate after Republicanswon the majority inTuesday's midterm elec-
tion. Grassley's office saidObama called him Fridaynight to tell him Lynchwould be the nominee andthe White House followedup to schedule a time forGrassley to speak withLynch.
Lynch is the U.S. attorneyfor the Eastern District ofNew York, which coversBrooklyn, Queens, StatenIsland and Long Island, aposition she also heldunder President Bill Clinton.
"Loretta doesn't look tomake headlines, she looksto make a difference,"Obama said, offering anexplanation why she'slargely unknown inWashington outside legalcircles. "She's not aboutsplash, she is about sub-stance."

Local non-profit Business& Community Lenders(BCL) of Texas is administer-ing the Community LoanCenter program in Dallasand Austin, which will pro-vide consumer loans of upto $1,000 to employees ofparticipating employerswith no collateral or creditcheck. Interest rates arecapped at 18% and borrow-ers have up to a year to payback the loan through pay-roll deduction, in contrastwith the typical payday orauto title loan which havemuch shorter terms andtypically collect between
250% to 800% interest.Additionally, BCL of Texaswill also provide financialcounseling to borrowersupon request through theirnon-profit partners, helpingborrowers to achieve finan-cial stability and escape thecycle of debt brought on byshort-term loans.
"The extremely shortterms of payday and autotitle loans often trap con-sumers into situations inwhich they find they canonly pay the interest whenthe loan comes due, forcingthem to carry the principalbalance far longer than
they originally intended toand costing them muchmore in fees and interestthan they were initiallyexpecting to pay," says RosaRios Valdez, CEO of BCL ofTexas. "We're pleased tobe able to participate inbringing this innovativeprogram to the rest ofTexas, and look forward toseeing the impact of theprogram on families whowould otherwise have noother options but to seek ahigh-interest, short-termloan."

The book of Philippians is abook filled with tenderness andpersonal love coming from thegreat Apostle Paul as heexpresses his affections to thePhilippian saints. On Paul'ssecond missionary journey, he
visited this grand place and hada very fruitful ministry inEurope, for two noteworthyfamilies were saved - Lydia andher family and the Philippianjailer and his family (Acts 16).The Philippian epistle is one ofPaul's prison epistle; and theprison epistles are: Ephesians,Philippians, Colossians, andPhilemon. They are designatedas such because they werewritten while he was impris-oned in Rome for two years(Acts 28:30).
Although Paul was experi-encing hardship, he did notallow his circumstance to dic-tate an attitude of bitterness!Instead, great joy and confi-dence exuded from the heartof the Apostle as he wrote this
tender and personal letter tothese saints. This letter is real-ly a "thank-you note" express-ing Paul's undue gratitude forthe generous way in whichthese saints ministered to hisneeds. After hearing aboutPaul's incarceration, thesesaints dispatched the pastor,Epaphroditus to minister toPaul. So Paul is greatly thank-ing them for their financial sup-port; moreover, Paul was grate-ful to God as he rememberedthem (1:3), and exhorted themto spiritual maturity (1:27).Apparently, there were onlythese major areas of concern inthis book: the rivalry issueamong the believers, chapter2:3-4; 4:2; and the infiltrationof "enemies of the cross" who
had invaded the church (3:1-3,18-19).
In verse 6, Paul was so over-come with confidence - confi-dent that God will consummatewhat He had begun. What wasPaul so confident of? He wasconfident that God would com-plete the great work of salva-tion He had begun in the saints.God has never begun a salva-tion project, and because ofsome circumstance, abandonit! God will complete the workof salvation He has started inus. He will continue His work inus until the day of Christ Jesus;that is, He will continue Hiswork until we are caught up tomeet Him in the air (I Thess.4:17). Now, that is a fact torejoice in!

Every year on Veterans Day,Americans pause to salute thebrave men and women whohave given their lives for ourcountry by serving under thebanner of freedom and democ-racy. On this day, we renew ourcommitment to troops,reservists, families and the 22million veterans across ourcountry. Among those are morethan 120,000 veterans who callDallas County home.
America has a sacred trust inthe men and women who serveour country in uniform. They
protect our country, and it is ourresponsibility to do the same. Asour troops return from Iraq andAfghanistan, more than two mil-lion have enrolled in the U.S.Department of Veterans Affairs(VA) health care system. Theirsacrifices for our country havebeen great, and, in return, itbecomes our responsibility toensure that they, along withthose who served before themhave access to quality health-care.
In August, I was pleased tolearn that the President signedthe Veterans Access, Choice andAccountability Act into law afterCongress demonstrated a strongbipartisan effort geared towardaddressing the VA system'shealth care crisis. I stronglybelieve additional efforts arenecessary to ensure that ourveterans receive the best carepossible from the VA in the
future. We also celebrated the 70th
anniversary of the GI Bill thisyear. Since its passage in 1944,veterans and military familieshave benefitted from the oppor-tunities provided by the GI Bill.Since the enactment of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, in 2008, more thanone million veterans or eligiblemilitary family members havebeen able to continue their edu-cation.
I believe that no veteranshould have to fight for a jobhere at home. The presidentand my fellow democratic mem-bers of Congress have takensteps to assist veterans in theirjob search after separating frommilitary service by either provid-ing tax credits for businessesthat hire veterans or connectingveterans and military spouseswith the Veterans EmploymentCenter. We will remain commit-
ted to ensuring pathways toprosperous futures for our vet-erans.
In the last paragraph of hissecond inaugural address,President Abraham Lincolnuttered the words that wouldultimately comfort veterans andtheir families for generations tocome. Lincoln challenged thedivided nation to "bind up itswounds; to care for him whoshall have borne the battle, andfor his widow, and his orphan."This is the test and measure ofour nation.
On the battlefield, the mili-tary pledges to leave no soldierbehind. As a nation, let it be ourpledge that when they returnhome, we leave no veteranbehind. Let us honor their serv-ice with actions that fulfill thecommitment to our troops,their families, and our veterans.
Honoring Our Veterans
"I Am Confident Of This Great Fact" Philippians 1:6
BY COLLEEN WHITE
Do you sometimes grow alittle tired of always doing theright thing, but never seemingto reap the rewards of doingright? We all tend to feel thatway at times. We look at oursituations and it seems thatevery time we fight to do the
right thing, our friends whoseem always to do the wrongthings are rewarded. However,in the book of Galatians it says,"Let us not become weary indoing good, for at the propertime we will reap a harvest ifwe do not give up" (Galatians
6:9). This is why you press on and
try to do the right thing at alltimes. Our acts of kindnessshould not just be for our fami-lies, or strangers, but our goodworks should also be for thosewho know Christ as well.
"Therefore, as we have oppor-tunity, let us do good to all peo-ple, especially to those whobelong to the family of believ-ers" (Galatians 6:10).
With this being said, thenext time you feel as thoughyou're growing tired of doing
good deeds, remind yourselfthat you're doing what you aresupposed to be doing as aChristian. Don't grow tired,grow stronger. Always try tostand for what is right. Amen?Amen.
A Little Bit of Faith: Keep Doing What Is Right
BY GEORGE E. CURRYNNPA COLUMNIST
The midterm elections areover, the final numbers are inand they don't look pretty ifyou're a progressive. So, I amgoing to propose somethingour national African Americanleaders should have suggesteda long time ago: It's time for usto switch. No, not to theRepublican Party. That wouldbe tantamount to drinking JimJones Kool-Aid (Young people,Google "Guyana Massacre").It's time to switch our empha-sis from politics to economics.
I remember Al Sharpton,speaking at the 2004Democratic convention, sayingBlacks had decided to ride the(Democratic) donkey as far as itwould take us. Well, Al, thatdonkey has taken us as far aswe can go in politics, even into1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.Now, it's time to park that old,tired pack animal on a farm andtry a new mode of transporta-tion.
Even when we have given itour best, politics have neverdelivered the expected results.I am old enough to rememberhow exuberant we were withthe election of the first wave of
Black big city mayors: CarlStokes in Cleveland, RichardHatcher in Gary, Ind., KenGibson in Newark and later,Tom Bradley in Los Angeles,Andrew Young in Atlanta andDavid Dinkins in New York. Wesaw Doug Wilder elected gov-ernor of Virginia, the cradle ofthe Confederacy. The outgoinggovernor of Massachusetts isanother African American,Deval Patrick. In January, wewill have not one, but twoBlacks in the U.S. Senate (CoryBooker and Tim Scott), thelargest African American con-tingent ever in the upperchamber.
And the Congressional BlackCaucus (CBC), which bills itselfas the conscience of Congress,has behaved as though it wasunconscious the last six years,too afraid to even critiquePresident Obama for fear offacing a backlash back in theirhome districts. Rep. EmanuelCleaver of Missouri, stated:"Well, I'm supposed to say he[Obama] doesn't get a pass,but I'm not going to say that.Look, as the chair of the BlackCaucus I've got to tell you, weare always hesitant to criticizethe president. With 14 percent[black] unemployment, if wehad a white president we'd bemarching around the WhiteHouse."
The undisputable truth isthat Obama needed pressurefrom Blacks and progressives tomake him a better president.When he offered his version ofRonald Reagan's trickle down
economic theory - if you takecare of America as a whole, itwill trickle down to what JesseJackson calls boats stuck at thebottom. How has that workedout for Black America?
And instead of being gratefulfor the silence of the lambs,Obama has an inexplicableneed to criticize his supporterseven more than his opponents.Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) canshout "you lie" during a Stateof the Union speech and icecool Obama could essentiallyignore the public slight. Butappearing at a 2011 CBC din-ner, the president urged hisaudience to "Take off your bed-room slippers, put on yourmarching shoes. Shake it off.Stop complaining, stop grum-bling, stop crying. We are goingto press on. We've got work todo."
Even before his party's buttkicking last week, PresidentObama was doing what healways does - blame his mostardent supporters. On April 10,less than seven months beforethe midterm elections, theWashington Post gave thisaccount:
"President Obama said at afundraiser Wednesday nightthat Democrats suffer inmidterm elections in large partbecause black and Latino vot-ers - among other groups -don't turn out to vote.
"'Our voters are younger,more unmarried women, moreAfrican-American and Latinovoters,' Obama said at an eventin Houston. 'They get excited
about general elections; theydon't get as excited aboutmidterm elections.'
"Obama added: '…we havethis congenital disease, whichis in midterm elections wedon't vote at the same rates.'"
Obama is correct in sayingAfrican American and Latinovoters don't turn out formidterm elections at the ratethey do for general elections.But that's true of all voters, notjust people of color. Yet,Obama chose to place theblame on the shoulders of peo-ple most loyal to him and hisparty.
While there have been somemeager improvements sincethe economic meltdownObama inherited, Blacks stillface staggering unemploymentand severe income and wealthinequality.
As the National UrbanLeague stated in its 2012 Stateof Black America report, "…almost all the economic gainsthat blacks have made in thelast 30 years have been lost inthe Great Recession that start-ed in December 2007 and inthe anemic recovery that hasfollowed since June, 2009."
Blacks are on the verge ofspending $1.3 trillion a year,according to a Nielsen's study.It's time to shift our attentionto economic development andempowerment. I am not sayingwe should abandon politics -we shouldn't - but it should nolonger be our primary focus.Let's get off of that donkey.
Time for Black Democrats to Switch
BY MARC H. MORIALNNPA COLUMNIST
"We have a powerful poten-tial in our youth, and we musthave the courage to change oldideas and practices so that wemay direct their power towardgood ends."
-Mary McLeod BethuneThe National Urban League
released a new survey lastweek that shows overwhelm-ing support from one of themost important, but rarelyheard voices in the roiling andoften distorted debate overCommon Core State Standards
- African American parents.Our survey of 1,600 AfricanAmerican public school parentsfound that 60 percent ofrespondents have a favorableimpression of the newCommon Core State Standardsin English language arts andmath that have now beenadopted by 43 states and theDistrict of Columbia.
Sixty-eight percent of sur-veyed parents believe thatCommon Core will improve stu-dent achievement, and 66 per-cent believe it will better pre-pare their children for collegeor the workforce. The surveyalso shows that a majority ofparents believe what theNational Urban League believesas well - that Common Corestandards offer great potential
for transformative educationalexcellence, but only if parentsare actively engaged, teachersare adequately trained andresources for schools and stu-dents are equitably disbursed.
Given the history and cur-rent state of unequal educationin America, many AfricanAmerican parents are rightlyconcerned that their childrennot be short-changed by aninequitable implementation ofCommon Core.
A majority of respondents(58 percent) agree that theschool their child attends lacksthe resources and facilities toeffectively teach Common CoreState Standards, and 54 per-cent agree that teachers arenot prepared to teach the stan-dards. Those numbers jumped
to 64 percent and 62 percent,respectively, for parents withchildren enrolled in predomi-nately African Americanschools. This underscores theimportance of ongoing effortsto ensure that students in allschools have the resources tolearn and teachers have theresources to effectively teachthe Common Core.
While the National UrbanLeague has taken a leading rolein educating parents about thisissue via our Put Our Children1st: Common Core forCommon Goals campaign, oursurvey suggests that efforts willbe necessary moving forwardas well to dispel the myths anddeliberate distortions that havebeen touted by many ofCommon Core's politically-
motivated opponents.Seventy-six percent of the
parents surveyed understoodthat Common Core StateStandards are a state-led effortthat establishes a single set ofeducational standards, but 70percent are under the miscon-ception that the federal gov-ernment was involved in theircreation. This demonstratesthe importance of continuedwork to ensure the dissemina-tion of accurate informationabout the Standards.
Nothing is more importantin a child's education thanparental involvement. As I saidin announcing the surveyresults, "Our survey of AfricanAmerican parents on CommonCore State Standards stronglyindicates that when parents are
fully informed - void of distor-tion, myth and political agen-das, they tend to supportCommon Core and its potentialto transform public educationand help ensure that all of ourchildren - regardless of theirfamily income, zip code or eth-nicity - are prepared for collegeor career. When parents areempowered and knowledge-able about the expectationsand goals of Common Core,they are able to tune out thepolitical rhetoric - and tune into the potential for their chil-dren."

This time of year, it's easyfor people to become pre-occupied with their ownholiday celebrations. Butone small start-up Texas toycompany is celebrating theChristmas season early bygiving away every other toyit makes to sick, abused,homeless or neglected chil-dren who've had more thantheir share of challenges soearly in their young lives.
Between now andDecember 24, StickmanStew LLC, the Rockport,Texas maker of a line oficonic plush stick figurescalled STICKMAN STEW®and THE GOLD HEARTCREW,™ will donate one toyfor every toy purchasedonline to kid-friendly non-profits throughout Texas.
In Dallas, non-profitChildren's Cancer Fundreceived the toys on behalfof kids with cancer andChildren at Risk, a research
and public policy group thatadvocates for children.
"Brightening the lives ofchildren is what the holidayseason is all about," saidJane Guinn, founder of theplush-toy company and cre-ator of Stickman Stew. "Wedecided the best way to cel-ebrate the upcoming holi-day season was to 'pay itforward' and give away toysto kids who could use a littlesunshine."
Both organizations saidthey are extremely gratefulfor the toy donations. "Welove the toys," said CamilleCain, Children's CancerFund's development direc-tor. "They smile at you andare so happy. We're excitedfor the kids to get them."
Other Texas non-profitsreceiving toys are HoustonChildren's Charity andNeighborhood Centers, Inc.in Houston; St. PJ'sChildren's Home in San
Antonio; CASA of TravisCounty in Austin, and TheSalvation Army in Amarillo.
Kid-friendly non-profitsthroughout the state inter-ested in receiving free toyscan contact Stickman Stewby visitinghttp://stick-manstew.com/non-profits/.For social media aficiona-dos, Stickman Stew is pro-moting the toy giveawaywith the hashtag#SpiritOfChristmas.
STICKMAN STEW toys arebased on the iconic stick-like figures cavemen drewon their caves 20,000 yearsago and kids still drawtoday. "Parents like our toysbecause they don't requirebatteries,"said Guinn."They're powered by a kid'simagination."
STICKMAN STEW recentlywon the Parent TestedParent Approved (PTPA)Seal of Approval, fromAmerica's largest volunteertesting company.

Today, diabetes affectsmore than 29 million peo-ple in the United States orover 9 percent of the pop-ulation. In addition, anoth-er 86 million Americanadults, more than one outof three individuals, havepre-diabetes, a conditionthat puts people atincreased risk for diabetes.Many African Americansare included in these statis-tics. In fact, according tothe Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, 13percent of AfricanAmericans have diagnoseddiabetes. Although all peo-ple with diabetes, bothtype 1 and type 2, are atrisk for diabetic eye dis-ease, African Americanswith diabetes are at higherrisk of losing vision orgoing blind from the dis-ease.
Diabetic eye diseaserefers to a group of eyeproblems that people withdiabetes may face as acomplication of the diseaseand includes cataract, dia-betic retinopathy, andglaucoma. Diabeticretinopathy, the most com-mon diabetic eye disease,is the leading cause ofblindness in adults 20-74years of age. According tothe National Eye Institute(NEI), more than 800,000African Americans havediabetic retinopathy, andthis number is projected toincrease to approximately1.2 million people by 2030.
"The longer a person hasdiabetes, the greater is hisor her risk of developingdiabetic eye disease," saidPaul A. Sieving, M.D.,Ph.D., director of NEI. "Ifyou have diabetes, be sureto have a comprehensivedilated eye exam at leastonce a year. Don't waituntil you notice an eye
problem to have an exam,because vision that is lostoften cannot be restored."
Diabetic eye diseaseoften has no early warningsigns, but it can be detect-ed early and treated beforevision loss occurs. If youhave diabetes, you do nothave to experience visionloss or blindness from thedisease.
"In fact, with early detec-tion, timely treatment, andappropriate follow-up care,people with advanced dia-betic retinopathy canreduce their risk of blind-ness by 95 percent," addsSuber Huang, M.D.,M.B.A., chair of theDiabetic Eye DiseaseSubcommittee for NEI'sNational Eye HealthEducation Program.
Research has shown thatwhen people with diabetesmaintain good control ofblood sugar, blood pres-sure, and cholesterol, theycan slow the developmentand progression of diabeticeye disease. In addition tohaving a comprehensivedilated eye exam at least
once a year, people withdiabetes should do the fol-lowing to keep their healthon TRACK:
• Take your medica-tions.
• Reach and main-tain a healthy weight.
" Add physical activi-ty to your daily routine.
• Control your bloodsugar, blood pressure, andcholesterol.
• Kick the smokinghabit.
Diabetes is a serious dis-ease, and its complicationscan result in vision loss.Don't turn a blind eye todiabetic eye disease. If youhave diabetes, schedule acomprehensive dilated eyeexam and set your sight onhealthy vision.
