00:03:10
annually designated across the nation as well and it looks at things with the kind of encourage you to look at things with a glass half full approach instead of the glass half-empty approach so that way you know it’s possible even uplifting for you to look at your life of that situation instead of looking at in a negative empty approach and leaving a positive life can it’s been shown to lower the chances of depression increase physical and mental well-being and it’s more developed coping skills during

00:04:13
those things are available to you as well so it’s also National Bullying Prevention Month so especially with the way social media is now I think it’s really important to touch on this and kind of spread awareness and so I think that it’s important that you’ve seen anything like that you go into you stand up against bullying you spread the word about the negative effects of bullying and how it affects children and adults because everyone could be bullied it’s not just children so we are going to
00:04:55
kind of touch on a little bit of how we really quick it is October so there’s a lot going on Six Flags does have free breakfast thank you Frank Loesser a local haunted houses I think there might be some parade things like that so check around the DFW anywhere in Texas wherever you’re at and see what kind of stuff we have going on so that you can get involved and enjoy this month holiday festivities okay so we’re going to talk about voter registration voting and the elections coming up October
00:05:37
night is the last day to register to vote in the state of Texas for the November 6th election so if you have not registered yet you only have a few more days to do that so go out there that register to vote and make sure that you know you have everything ready for November 6th any registered voter may vote early by personal appearance early voting my personal appearance for November 6th election does weekend on October 22nd and inside of a per second so you can go to any other league winning location in your county you can
00:06:09
go to vote Texas graph to figure out to where to go not only for early voting but also for the actual Election Day which is again November 6 so Texas will give you all that information I think it’s pretty simple you go on put your address and it’ll tell you where your polling location is Claudia is going to tell us a little bit about why we should vote and the importance of voting okay so the importance of voting is you really when you get to vote you have a voice in deciding the deciding the election and
00:06:43
who who we all need and so one of the things that you can vote on it’s also the like if there reason you need kind of taxes the and have a voice and sang like no we don’t want these taxes raised this isn’t something so I’m not voting on that you can also have a voice there and the important rights and responsibilities that US citizens have is voting so about 150 million American citizens are qualified to vote and unfortunately many dog they gave up on a chance to choose winners representatives who will do
00:07:19
things that are important to them important to the communities and can really change their lives of course we can never force anyone to vote and it’s your right that’s what’s so wonderful about the fact that we have this opportunity so of course nobody we can’t force you but many citizens do vote and because the concluding lets them you know tell the government what they want to do this is why they do it you know you always want to make sure that there’s equal representation for
00:07:45
everyone within a community so it’s really important that if you are eligible to vote that you are registered and that you do have an input in who will be representing you it’s not just it’s not just being you know wonderful people within the community we want everyone to have that your representation so that everybody force is heard so that simple fact is really really important in making sure that you have a saying what happens in your community and what happens in your country and you know at the end of the
00:08:16
day you get to say hey I I said this I voted for this and you know I’ve had I have even though a lot of people they don’t think their voice counts but it does it really does we’ll give you some examples here in a little bit so with everyone voting in my team like Oh millions of people are voting my vote doesn’t count but really every vote does count it’s also important for citizens to know how the voting machines with aboutlet’s work and when how to access these machines at
00:08:45
this location what the confusion and the complications may be so why is that so important because like we said every vote does count and I like sure the might be decided by a single vote and the history could be changed because a person that lost it didn’t exactly know what foot in the prize when I’m not surprised so that’s just one vote and I know the first time that I heard it I was really nervous they wouldn’t know about myself I didn’t know what I was doing and I walked into
00:09:13
this booth and I was like okay I mean I know who these people are but it’s market and if you feel nervous sometimes you don’t you in the process and and of course it’s you know it’s government a lot of you get scared you know gonna do things wrong but ask ask questions when you get up there and you’re signing in or whatever however your location does it just let them know only this is my first time doing it if there any way that you can assist me tell me how it works before I walk in here and most
00:09:43
people will assist you even people in line we don’t don’t work for unity elections bill will assist you people are really really kind so yeah go vote but as we promised we were going to give you seven important events in US history that were decided by just a few votes so one he Richard Nixon and Kitty Richard Nixon not the u.s. in 1960 if one person from each 30 place voted differently it just one US senator had voted differently it was the Richard Nixon and knocked on at Kennedy u.s. President Andrew Jackson
00:10:22
would have been removed from office in 1967 and for Texas just so you all know how important this is Texas might not have become part of the United States in 1845 everyone the US senator had voted differently the vote in the US Senate was 27 to 25 to invited Texas to become a state he did a bit of ty Texas would not have been asked to become part of the Union so just so you guys know we wouldn’t be Texas if it wasn’t for voting I think that’s so here’s how you can make a difference play a role in
00:10:59
choosing our leaders in treating hair loss by voting so if you’re over older than 18 vote in every federal state and local election this is just some of the kind of elections that could make changes in the world I’m sorry in our nation at least learn about the candidates and issues before you go in any election and something that could help us kind of go like looking at the names and what they say for what they want to bring changes to prior to the once they’re elected you can look over this prior to
00:11:30
going into voting and kind of go Betsy Johnson I want to vote for her and just remember her name and have it in her mind instead of saying oh wait [Music] so know what’s going on in your country and your community write letters to public officials about issues that are important to you and remind everyone 18 and older to folks and you know respect your right to though it’s a privilege that many people in the world don’t have in our country yeah again November 6th last day to register is October night
00:12:05
early voting starts October 22nd keep all of those dates in mind again I can get to vote Texas top growth and that books that will give you as much information as possible it has everything on there for you so go there if you’re curious and look up the officials that are going to be on the ballot and get involved in your community and see exactly what’s changing your could change because a lot of things will change with every election and you want to know about it so that you’re aware and you know months
00:12:35
