Right on!
I'm involved as a board member and delegate in our county medical society, on key committees in the hospital, and I write letters to our representatives weekly. Someone is reading my letters (perhaps it's a bot) as I get replies (sometime personalized and sometime with tangential replies). I don't belong to the AMA as I see them as the source of our misfortune (they are not generalist oriented) and spend that money on direct contribution to our state representatives and state senator and other worthy candidates. I agree that the AAFP is misguided by ivory tower folks that don't have a clue as to real medicine. AAFP's new campaign as "STRONG MEDICINE" gives us an opportunity for them to walk the talk. I hope that there are others that will send brief letter about your discontent with their support of CCHIT, and "evidence based" medicine. The "medical home."
This year, instead of writing New Year's Resolution, please try writing RESOLUTION for your HOUSE OF DELEGATES. If there is no prohibition against this (and I see none in the EULA), I'll print out resolution for ACville's review (need your feedback). If the resolution passes the House of Delegates in all 50 states (and a majority of well thought resolution do pass), then it will have the exposure and momentum to pass at the AMA. This is the fastest way to reverse AMA's, AAFP, and AOA's policy.
