Congressman Pat Fallon endorses Convention of States

Conservative United States Representative from the Lone Star State of Texas, Pat Fallon, has officially announced his endorsement of Convention of States, the nationwide grassroots movement seeking to rein in the federal government through constitutional amendments targeting federal spending, power, and terms of office.


“As a steadfast believer in the American principles of liberty and limited government, I am proud to endorse the Convention of States movement and the grassroots effort to call history’s first-ever Article V convention,” Fallon declared in a statement. “After serving the good people of North Texas, both in the Texas Legislature and now in Congress, for over a decade, I can testify that the federal government is unwilling and unable to ‘bail out’ the states. If we wish to preserve the blessings of freedom from the greedy hand of government overreach, we must act for ourselves. We cannot afford to wait.”  

Fallon, who has earned an overwhelmingly positive score from Heritage Action, served as a United States Air Force Officer, founded several businesses, and possesses many years' worth of experience serving the people of Texas. According to his official biography, he has built a “strong conservative record” as an “unwavering champion” of the Constitution. Despite the frustrations he experiences in Congress, Fallon continues to look to the Constitution for guidance.

“Fortunately, the United States Constitution has once again come to our rescue,” he said. “The Founders knew this day would come, and in Article V of the Constitution, they provide us with the users’ manual for resuscitating our exceptional Republic. Now, it’s up to us to use the Constitution to save the Constitution.”

“Convention of States Action is actively implementing that plan,” he continued, “and I wholeheartedly commend their efforts. It is not enough merely to read the supreme law of the land. If you believe in the U.S. Constitution, I invite you to join me in supporting Convention of States.”

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.
