  <blurb>It&amp;#39;s time for psychologists to get out of their cozy offices and get involved in changing the social and political direction of this country. California&amp;#39;s 50th District Special Election in June can set the trend for the Democrats taking over Congress in November.</blurb>

      <pageblurb>It&amp;apos;s not often that there is an open Congressional seat with no incumbent running. Such is the case in San Diego County where the seat was vacated by Duke Cunningham going to prison. The entire nation is watching this election to see if the electorate is fed up with business as usual.

Many psychologists in San Diego independently came to know Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate.  They were impressed by her sincerity and enthusiasm for a progressive social agenda and for bringing ethical accountability to Congress. This gave birth to Psychologists for Busby.

Busby is the type of person who will listen to all of her constitutents&amp;apos;s concerns, including psychologists.  She cannot be bought by special interests, but she will listen to reasonable points of view. She supports healthcare reform that will gradually increase the number of insured and supports mental health parity.  Her accessibility is her trademark. Many psychologists are working very closely with her.

Francine has strong grassroots support, including educators, seniors, women&amp;apos;s groups, veterans and others. But she is up against sleazy attack ads by the national Republican party, because they see she may win. 

Please join with us. Consider the person who is recommending her to you. You give tens of thousands to the federal government every year. Consider giving a few dollars to determine who will spend that money. Please donate $20, $50 or any amount you can to show that Psychologists for Busby is a strong force. It takes less than 5 minutes online. If you&amp;apos;re in the area, write JohnLeeEvans@busbyforcongress.org to volunteer.</pageblurb>
