The Quacks are back and have their hopes set on Tennessee:
ASAP READER volume 4 number 3 February 25, 2005
Greetings ASAP Readers,
Much has happened during the last three weeks. The Tennessee Psychological Associations RxP bill was passed out of subcommittee in its first hearing. Another hearing before the full Committee is scheduled for next week. Dr. Keith Hulse posted the following 2/24/05 to: TPA Email and Fax Networks
Dear Colleague:
We are very pleased to report that our Prescribing Psychologist's bill has been successfully passed out of the House Professional Occupations Subcommittee Wednesday without amendment! This was a major victory for us, and a major hurdle to have overcome.
The bill next goes before the full House Health and Human Resources Committee-AND WE EXPECT IT TO GO BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE THIS COMING TUESDAY! Consequently, we URGENTLY need your continued support to maintain our bill's momentum. Now that we have passed this bill out of subcommittee, our opposition is in high gear, with no holds barred, so we must have your continued strong support!
As before, we are asking you to do several things--the first four of which are on the APA Legislative Action Center website and will literally take you ONLY SECONDS to do:
Go to our private TPA website: http://tpaonline.org/rxp/
Follow the link from there directly to the APA Legislative Action Center: ALL FOUR ALERTS ON OUR APA SITE ARE NEW-SIMPLY COMPLETE THEM ALL.
Then go back to the private TPA website and download, print out, fax, and mail the "hard copy" versions of these new letters.
Finally, PLEASE forward this email to everyone you know, colleagues, family, friends, neighbors, etc, who you know to be supportive of RxP. Ask them to take these same steps, substituting their own occupation or "mental health consumer" or "concerned citizen" for "psychologist " or "psychological examiner" in the signature line.
REMEMBER-THESE NEED TO BE RECEIVED BY THIS COMING TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 1, 8 AM CENTRAL TIME-THE COMMITTEE MEETS SHORTLY THEREAFTER
THANK YOU for all your ongoing help in this legislative marathon!
Sincerely, C. Keith Hulse, Ph.D. President, Tennessee Psychological Association
