Trump announces COS supporter J.D. Vance as VP

[July 15, 2024] - Former President Donald Trump, who officially clinched his party’s 2024 presidential nomination on Monday, July 15, has chosen Senator, best-selling author, and Convention of States supporter J.D. Vance as his running mate. 

Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, stating, “After careful consideration and assessing the tremendous talents of many, I have determined that Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio is the ideal candidate for Vice President of the United States.” Trump praised Vance for his unwavering “[focus] on the people.”

In the past, Vance expressed his support for an Article V convention in a Convention of States candidate survey. He answered “yes” to both questions: whether he would support and vote for the Convention of States Project’s application for an Article V convention and whether he believed it was “appropriate” for state legislatures to use their authority granted in Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose constitutional amendments through a state-led convention.

The best-selling author of the wildly popular memoir “Hillbilly Elegy” and a former Marine, Vance has frequently condemned the political elites who control the country. 

“We are ruled by unserious people who are worried about fake problems instead of the real fact that our country is falling apart in some of the most important ways,” he once stated.

“J.D. Vance is a serious dyed-in-the-wool leader who will take the needs of the American people seriously,” expressed Convention of States President Mark Meckler. “Raised in a Rust Belt town in middle America, he understands that the grassroots is more important than the political elites. Vance’s rise from poverty to Yale Law School and, subsequently, the United States Senate serves as a modern-day testament to the enduring promise of the American dream.”

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.
