                  Convention of States Kentucky is an organization of regular, everyday citizens building a grassroots movement right here in Kentucky to have our legislators in Frankfort pass our resolution to call for an Article V Convention of States. 

KentuckyCOS Kentucky Needs You! Over 70% of Americans think our Federal Government is too big and has too much power. Day by day, law by law, regulation by regulation, the federal government encroaches on State rights and our individual rights as citizens.  We all see it happening.  Our children’s future is at stake, while those in Washington hand out political favors, then hand the bill over to future generations to pay for. The question then becomes, What can we do about it?

As Article V of our Constitution states, when the Legislatures of two thirds of the States send an application to Congress, the Congress shall call a Convention of the States for the purpose of proposing amendments. Many of our Kentucky legislators are on board with this idea of returning power back to the States as established in our Constitution, but many still need to hear from the citizens of Kentucky. You can become active on any level that you choose with the Convention of States.  You can sign our petition here.   The petition simply asks your Legislator to support our Kentucky Resolution to call for a Convention. 

If you would like to become a Volunteer, you can do it on a level that fits in with your schedule and your time constraints.  We need Volunteers to send emails to their Legislator, or sit down for 10 minutes to write a letter to them. We need folks who will call or visit the office of your legislator.  If you want to become more involved, we need leaders in each District to sign up to become a District Captain. As a growing grassroots organization, we need you to help us as we stand for our rights as citizens, for Kentucky’s rights as a sovereign State, and for the future of our children.

Kentucky will stand, but she will not stand alone.  Convention of States Resolutions have already passed in 19 States, and legislation is being introduced in almost every other State. Concerned Americans are signing up and volunteering in every State to stand against an overreaching federal government.  You can stand with us.  You can make a difference.  You can be a part of history, instead of sitting on the sidelines. Get excited!  Get involved!  Volunteer.  Make your voice heard.  We Decide!

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.
