Convention of States Legislative Surge Day | Mountain Region | March 26th

!!!BREAKING NEWS!!!

SEN. RICK SANTORUM IN RALEIGH FOR THE MARCH 26TH SURGE DAY!

The COS resolution, HJR 379, has now been filed in the NC House and we expect a similar resolution to be filed in the NC Senate soon! This is an exciting first step on the path to NC becoming the 20th state to pass the COS resolution.

Every Wednesday when the legislature is in session, we have many volunteers who are local to Raleigh at the legislative complex. This is an important part of interacting with legislators to encourage them to support COS.

On Wednesday, March 26 we want to get as many to the legislature from Western North Carolina! We will meet starting at 10 a.m. You can sign up and get more information here. Senator Rick Santorum will be there as well!

Listen to State Director, Vanessa Paulsen, explain why this is important!

If you are planning on attending and/or have questions, email or call/text Jeff Groh at 302-367-3160, in addition to registering here. Indicate if you want to car pool, as I will try and connect people who are geographically close to one another.

If you do not know who your NC House Representative or Senator is, you can find that here by entering your address. You can reach out to their office and set up an appointment. But based on experience, their schedules are very dynamic and it is best to visit their office, introduce yourself to the legislative assistant and see when you might meet with them. I will help you navigate this process if you have never done it, so have no fear!

If you have any questions, please reach out to Jeff Groh by email or call/text to 302-367-3160.

Thanks!

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.
