This year I got the same fax as in the article, except that they wanted a little more than $1,250 from me (I decided not to pay for the award). It's pretty obvious that this is not a genuine award for merit. The article mentions that "on the Internet, ABC News found physicians across the country doing just that — listing NRCC's Physician of the Year among their honors and credentials." It's fine to donate money to a political party that you believe in. But any physician who would list this phoney award on his CV is pathetic.<br/>-<br/>Michael Rack, MD Last year I donated some money to the Republicans.
