Proposition 63 Earns Opposition of Regional Psychological Treatment Center

Rare move by Fresno community organization contrasts with overt
politicking by similar groups backing Proposition 63

FRESNO, CA‹ Today the NO on 63 campaign announced the support of the
Fresno-based San Joaquin Psychotherapy Center in opposition to the deeply
flawed Proposition 63.

"While the wealthy special interests backing Proposition 63 have a long
history of partisan political activity, community organizations like the San
Joaquin Psychotherapy Center are often too busy working to engage in
political campaigning," explained campaign spokesman David Yow. "The San
Joaquin Psychotherapy Center is one those that disagree with their much more
political colleagues who claim to speak for those who treat mental illness."

Led by Dr. Kevin McCready, Ph.D, the San Joaquin Psychotherapy Center "is a
community-based treatment center offering a broad range of innovative
psychological services including comprehensive day treatment along with
traditional individual and group therapies," according to its website.

Opposition to Proposition 63 continues to rally in recent weeks, with
Governor Schwarzenegger, Senator Tom McClintock, the Oakland Tribune, the
San Diego Union-Tribune, and the Contra Costa Times publicly joining the
statewide line-up of leaders and organizations dedicated to protecting
Californians from the dangerously-flawed measure.
