Grassroots Article V Experience

Will you pitch in a few dollars to advance that effort?

Convention of States Foundation is linking arms with Patriot Academy to provide an exclusive and inspiring training opportunity for a select few of our grassroots leaders to learn about the Article V process: A simulated Article V convention from September 17-19 at Patriot Academy’s campus in Comfort, TX.

Many of them are paying their own way to this event but a few need your help. Our grassroots leaders have pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to get us this far. Will you help us send these committed leaders to this event?
Freedom is worth any sacrifice.

Government should be by the people and for the people.

But it’s kind of hard to celebrate these things in America today, isn’t it?

Our federal government has become wasteful and overbearing.
Our freedoms are being diminished every day by distant bureaucrats.
Government favors the ruling class over the people – the opposite of the founders’ design.

At COS Foundation we will never give up. We are standing up to be heard. We are using the most generous gift that the founders gave us – the Article V convention process – to reclaim the fundamental principles of self-governance and form a more perfect union.

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.
