Groundbreaking new information about the nationwide appeal of Convention of States

Especially in an election year, it becomes painfully clear: Americans are divided about everything.

Well, almost everything.

One thing most Americans, Right, Left, and in between, can still agree about is that the federal government has grown too big and amassed too much power.

A surprising majority of voters (68%) — across party lines — agree about the solution to that problem: a meeting of the states to propose constitutional amendments for fiscal responsibility, limits on federal power, and term limits for career politicians. This is according to groundbreaking new polling conducted by Susquehanna Polling and Research, Inc.

This constitutional process, known as the Article V convention, could tackle issues of broad bipartisan concern for the American people. For example, 88% of Americans support term limits for career politicians. Over 70% believe additional limits on federal power are needed.

Polling results
In a nation that cannot agree about anything, these numbers speak volumes. Firstly, about the unmistakable ultimatum from the American people to call a convention. Secondly, about our tremendous grassroots success in spreading the word about Article V to millions.

The country is tearing apart at the seams; Convention of States offers a path forward in unity. Division and strife are pervasive; Convention of States is an emblem of hope.

“We the People’s” efforts have not gone in vain; Americans of every walk of life are banding together in a rare show of unity, and soon, even Washington, D.C., will hear our voices!

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.
