Political Action Task Force/2009 Texas Legislature

Politics is all about relationships -- "In politics, familiarity doesn't breed contempt. It breeds votes." (Paul Lazarsfeld). The Federation has encouraged all psychiatrists to get to know their elected representatives through its Political Action Task Force, launched during each election cycle. The focus of the Political Action Task Force is to encourage each psychiatrist to contact his/her legislator engage in a dialogue about quality psychiatric care in Texas. The relationships formed with legislators will pay dividends during the 2009 Legislative Session.  To read about the bills of interest to psychiatry filed during the 2009 Legislative Session, please click here.
