50K Race to Liberty

COSA Maryland Announces 50K Race to Liberty

We are in a race to save our country.

As you know, our country is on the wrong path. Our federal government is increasingly bloated, reckless and corrupt. In the fight to take it all back, COSA MD has embarked on an exciting and ambitious goal for 2021 called “50K Race to Liberty.” 

Our goal is as follows: double the number of petition signers in Maryland to 50,000 by collecting 25,000 signers before the year’s end.

Here's where you come in: Spread the word. Take the extra step and forward this message to your circle of influence. Ask them to join us in our 50k Race to Liberty and share the Convention of States Petition.

Here's why: Legislators respond when they hear from an engaged, informed, and motivated electorate. Your state senator and delegates receive your signed petition directly letting them know you support a national effort to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

25,000 signatures in 2020 resulted in most impactful Committee hearing, unfortunately the session ended before our Committee voted on the resolution.

  • 50,000 signatures in 2021 will get their attention and put this at the forefront of the 2022 legislative agenda.
  • It is important to remember our Founding Fathers had the intellect and foresight to frame the Declaration and ultimately a Constitutional Republic of, by and for We the People.  

There are countless ways for citizens to engage as Patriots. While most everyone is concerned for the future of our country, not everyone is aware of Article V, the Constitutional solution where we can call a convention of states to bring power back to the States and the people– right where it belongs. 

Be one of 50,000 Marylanders to sign the Convention of States petition.

Physicians for COS

The diagnosis is clear.

We have a growing cancer today known as the Obamacare. As a result physicians are no longer free to practice medicine.

No profession feels the full force of the federal government more than physicians. The medical profession is the most highly regulated profession in the United States. The practice of medicine is controlled, taxed, and regulated to the point of being destroyed by the heavy hand of the federal government.

Physicians are told how to bill, how much to charge, and how to treat patients. They are mandated to use expensive electronic medical records. The federally enacted HIPPA (Health Information Privacy and Portability Act) makes the communication between physicians and atients burdensome, inefficient,and expensive. Every physician is required by federal mandate to register with the government to obtain an NPI (national provider identifier.) We are required by federal law to obtain and pay for a license to prescribe medication through the DEA, which is separate from our state licensure.

This heavy hand of government not only oversees the largest federal health bureaucracy ever created, but by extension reaches into every state, every city, and every small town to regulate how every licensed physician practices the art of medicine and how citizens obtain care.

The treatment is also clear.

The prescription for a cure was written into our constitution by our founders. Article V of our constitution allows for the states to call for a convention of states to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government through the proposal of constitutional amendments. Physicians should be the strongest supporters of this brilliantly-crafted states’ rights tool placed into our constitution by our founders.

I urge my fellow American physicians to join with me in supporting an Article V Convention of States to take back control of the practice of medicine. It’s the only way that we can return the practice of medicine back to the intimate relationship between a doctor and patient without interference by the heavy hand of a distant, national government.
