Ozark Empire Fair July 27 to August 5, 2023

A few years ago we had a table at the Ozark Empire Fair and we plan to have one again this year, and hopefully every year going forward. This year's fair will run from Thursday, July 27 to August 5, 2023. This ten day event attracts over 200,000 and it will be a terrific opportunity to spread the word about the Convention of States. Our booth will be inside the Expo Center so you won't have to worry about heat stroke!

Are you concerned that you cannot answer questions about the Convention of States? No worries! We have a plan to get you up to speed and comfortable with the process. Comfortable shoes, etc. will be up to you.

Missouri was the 12th state to adopt the resolution to call a Convention of States to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Our Article V resolution allows for discussion regarding only term limits, balancing the budget and reining in the Federal government. We need 34 states to force Congress to call the convention and we have lots of work ahead of us.

Most Americans have no idea that this is both possible and currently being implemented, Our Founding Fathers gave us a way to circumvent the boondoggle known as Congress. We need you to help spread the word about the solution as big as the problem.

Please consider volunteering for a few hours to help welcome people at our booth. Sign up link is at the bottom of this page. An Events Coordinator team member will be in touch with you in the near future.

The Ozark Empire Fair is held at Ozark Empire Fairgrounds, 3001 North Grant Ave, Springfield MO 65803.  Parking information and maps are available on the Ozark Empire Fair 2023 venue website.

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.
