Texas: Make Your Vote Count

 

Voting is foundational to our Constitutional Republic. If you do not exercise this right, you are giving a vote to the other candidate. When you are voting, consider whether their values and civic / voting record match your values.

Will they uphold the original intent of the constitution, supporting a limited federal government?

It is up to we the people, as self-governing citizens, to make our voice heard.

  • How to make sure that YOUR vote counts. Tips on how you can ensure that your own vote is counted. Proactive steps to take, and potential problems that could affect your vote.
  • Working the election.  Eyes are needed on our polling places to improve fairness, accuracy and transparency. The need is great for Poll Watchers, Election Judges and Election Clerks to be at all polling places.
  • Researching candidates. Here are good resources for selecting the best, not perfect, candidates.
  • Become a Telepatriot. Telepatriot will be used for "get out the vote" efforts in the next election cycle. You can help from your home, contacting Convention of States supporters encouraging them to vote their values. Click here for more information or to sign up.

Spread the word. Encourage family and friends to vote their values. Use your networks to stress the importance of exercising the right to vote. Ask your pastor to bring it up, or offer to write a note in the newsletter.

If "we the people" all stand up and exercise our right to vote, we will be heard!

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.
