Convention of States Action, a national effort to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, is pleased to announce an endorsement from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Gov. DeSantis stated, “I’ve spent years fighting the DC Swamp, and as the Governor of Florida, I know the states need to use Article V to take the power away from D.C. The permanent bureaucracy will never voluntarily give up an ounce of its power. Florida was the third state to pass the resolution, and I encourage all other state legislatures to support the Convention of States Project and pass the resolution today.”
The COS Action resolution allows for constitutional reforms on three topics: term limits, fiscal restraints, and other limits on the size and scope of the federal government. This is truly a solution as big as the problem!
And the best part? There's not a single thing that Biden and his cronies can do to stop us. Under Article V of the Constitution, two-thirds of states are required to call the convention.
The process is well underway. Millions of patriots in 100% of the state legislative districts across the nation are on board. Fifteen states have already passed the resolution, with another 21 states lined up to consider it in 2022. Now is the opportunity to get this done and slam the door on socialism, once and for all.
Join DeSantis by signing the petition below! The future of America depends on your action.
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.
