  • Send Thank-You cards! A quick note of gratitude (i.e. Thank you for choosing to serve as a House Representative/Senator for our Florida district.) is sufficient:
    • Address one to your Florida House Representative, include your address with your signature and place in an envelope.
    • Address another to your Florida State Senator, include your address with your signature and place in an envelope.
    • Place both together in a third envelope.
    • Then, send them by March 30th to:

      Denah Butts, COSFL State Director

      Note: if you're coming to the Rally, it's ok to bring them with you and put them in the envelope that morning at 8am.

  • If you need accommodations near the Capitol, it's recommended you arrange that as soon as possible. Places fill up during the 60-day legislative session. You can coordinate travel arrangements with other volunteers on our private FB Group

  • If you'll be coming to Mission BBQ (216 South Magnolia Dr) Monday at 5:30pm, you can prepare for your expenses by viewing the menu here. And, you can help Mission BBQ to have enough of the meat(s) you want by responding to this one-question Mission BBQ Survey.

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.
