Dear Friends and Bloggers,

I wanted to write a quick note of thanks for your engagement in my race -- I've seen great posts sorting out fact from fiction on all the desperate Republican attacks, and just as importantly we've seen a huge surge in volunteers over the past few days thanks to all of you as well as the DC CC, DNC, Louise Slaughter and Jane Harman. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

We've got 300 volunteers lined up right now, and to give it everything we've got on Monday and Tuesday we need 400. I hate to ask, but if any of you can help us get there, we'll all be eternally grateful out here.

Anybody in the San Diego area who wants to help can let us know by emailing us at volunteer-at-busb yforcongress.org or calling us at (760) 479-0114.

Thanks either way, and onward!

Francine Busby

Remember, if Bilbray is elected-we get a man who is hooked into the Tancredo-Tanton immigration wing and California can't be represented like that. Read this article for more information. The Republicans have outspent the Democrats 2-1 to win this seat so they feel it's a big one.

Harwood: "...It all comes down to turnout. Republicans have outspent the Democrats two-to-one in this seat, and they focused, in particular, on the early voting to try to juice that turnout that might not come naturally on Election Day because conservatives are so dispirited."
