Advocacy Issues
APsaA is hard at work advocating on a number of issues at both the federal and state levels. This section contains information about those issues and in some cases, related legislative bills.
Letters to Legislators
APsaA makes sure that the voices of its members are heard both on Capitol Hill as well as at various state levels. This section features letters sent to legislators as well as to federal and state administrators conveying the points of view of the Association.
Landmark Cases
These landmark cases are pivotal to issues of particular concern to APsaA members such as medical privacy which impacts their clinical practices as well as issues of broad social concern such as gay rights and same-sex marriage. Often, landmark cases are the outcome of a legal case that establishes a precedent that either substantially changes the interpretation of the law or that simply establishes new case law on a particular issue.
Contacting Congressional Committees
This is an online tool that will allow you to automatically dial every member of any U.S. Congressional committee you care to specify. When you finish one call, you press * and it will dial the next call.
On the website, you indicate what committee you wish to call and your phone number. This is a service that could be valuable for busy clinicians who wish to weigh in on pending legislation.
