How to be a Soldier in the Anti-MOC Fight

So what now? You’ve decided to join the fight, rather than just sitting there and taking it. You’ve decided that you want to pitch in to help save the profession , rather than just hoping that others will do it for you. You have decided that the FMA won’t save you from MOC—they actually are working to preserve it!

Since you have decided to fight, here is what you can do.

1. Sign up to go to Tallahassee and meet legislators to get them to pass HB81/SB628 and the Senate companion we will work to get.

2. Go to a district office of your senator or representative. Ask them to help pass HB81/SB628 and/or to get a companion bill in the senate.

3. Call and email state reps and senators when votes are pending to remind them how to vote!

4. Call your specialty society and insist that they do not compromise on HB81/SB628

The Florida AAPS chapter will help. We will..

· Schedule visits for you if you agree to go to Tallahassee.

· Provide single page talking point sheets and leave behind literature.

· Help train you on successful interaction with legislators and effective committee testimony techniques.

· Help you find the key contacts in your specialty society so you can get them working for you.

· Ensure your donations are well spent to further the fight to stop mandatory MOC in Florida.

You can testify in committee if you want, but the dates and times are usually not announced until several days ahead. Thus, we will ask you to commit to visiting legislators before committee meetings to ensure they will vote properly and then we will have people to testify on your behalf at committee. Of course, we would welcome your testimony at any committee.

If you want to volunteer , please email Chapter President Dr. David McKalip at dmckalip@neuro3.net
