SUPPORTING PTs and CALIFORNIA PRIVATE PRACTICE GROUP - WE MUST GET THE FAXES AND CALLS OUT FOR A NO ON AB 783.
Physical Therapy Practices are in Serious Jeopardy!
Private PT Businesses will Shut Down Unless You Act Now!
AB 783 passed through the Assembly.
Next it will go to the Senate Business and Professions Committee.
We MUST stop it there!
Without the proactive actions of our entire profession, the bill to legalize physician owned physical therapy services will go unchallenged, and hundreds of Physical Therapy practices likely will go out of business, putting us and 6,000 of our employees out of work!
Please help by faxing a letter and calling these legislators no later than Monday, June 6th, at the latest. Please don't delay.

For those of you who might feel "weird" about participating in the political process, think about it, this is why we live in America. This is your chance to have your voice be heard. (unless you don't mind working for a physician and believe, like they do, that anyone is qualified to do our job... then you can disregard this message).
Please Don't Delay.
Defeating AB 783 depends on every one of our CA members (and those out of state supporting their colleagues) taking action immediately so our voice can be heard. Our independence and livelihoods depend on it!
If you can donate - we need every penny we can muster.
