NH-Contact your Legislators

Contact your legislators to share why you support a Convention of States and ask them to vote "yes" on HCR 1.

You can find your House Representatives' contact information here  and your Senator's contact information here.

 

When you speak with them, share your reasons for supporting a Convention of States.  Ask them to vote "yes" to HCR1, and email our State Communications Coordinator to let us know their response.

 

If they share a concern or a question that you do not yet know the answer, email to let me know that as well.  Tell your legislator you will follow up with an email.  I will provide you with a link or more to help relieve their concerns.

 

You can email or call, but an in person visit is most effective.

 

If you are able to meet in person and are able to print, please select one of the sheets below to bring with you. Most of these are one page, double sided.

If you can print off these 7 handouts and the map, great!  

If you can print off one of them, great!  If you only give one, then please follow up with an email with the rest. Thank you!

The goal is to give them a solid foundation on Article V so they feel confident in supporting HCR1.

 

If your Legislators are unable to meet in person and you are emailing them, please share these links in your one email:

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.
