From The Right: (My new title for my columns) I wrote about the Liberty Amendments that is in Mark Levins new book. In my ultimate intelligence I accidently deleted the piece and now I will paste what I Tunes says about it in their store and what will follow will be the eleven (11) amendments that Mark proposes that should be adopted. This post is a follow up to a previous one where I mentioned that I would describe the amendments once the book came out. Good Night and Good Luck The Liberty Amendments by Mark R. Levin View More By This Author This book is available for download on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iBooks and on your computer with iTunes. Books must be read on an iOS device. . Description Mark R. Levin has made the case, in numerous bestselling books that the principles undergirding our society and governmental system are unraveling. In The Liberty Amendments, he turns to the founding fathers and the constitution itself for guidance in restoring the American republic. The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention and the delegates to each state’s ratification convention foresaw a time when the Federal government might breach the Constitution’s limits and begin oppressing the people. Agencies such as the IRS and EPA and programs such as Obamacare demonstrate that the Framers’ fear was prescient. Therefore, the Framers provided two methods for amending the Constitution. The second was intended for our current circumstances—empowering the states to bypass Congress and call a convention for the purpose of amending the Constitution. Levin argues that we, the people, can avoid a perilous outcome by seeking recourse, using the method called for in the Constitution itself. The Framers adopted ten constitutional amendments, called the Bill of Rights, that would preserve individual rights and state authority. Levin lays forth eleven specific prescriptions for restoring our founding principles, ones that are consistent with the Framers’ design. His proposals—such as term limits for members of Congress and Supreme Court justices and limits on federal taxing and spending—are pure common sense, ideas shared by many. They draw on the wisdom of the Founding Fathers—including James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and numerous lesser-known but crucially important men—in their content and in the method for applying them to the current state of the nation. Now is the time for the American people to take the first step toward reclaiming what belongs to them. The task is daunting, but it is imperative if we are to be truly free. ~ An Amendment to Establish Term Limits for Members of Congress ~ An Amendment to Restore the Senate (repeal of the 17th Amendment) ~ An Amendment to Establish Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices and Super-Majority Legislative Override ~ Two Amendments to Limit Federal Spending and Taxation ~ An Amendment to Limit the Federal Bureaucracy ~ An Amendment to Promote Free Enterprise (redefining the Commerce Clause) ~ An Amendment to Protect Private Property (curbing abuses under the Takings Clause). ~ An Amendment to Grant the States Authority to Directly Amend the Constitution ~ An Amendment to Grant States Authority to Check Congress ~ An Amendment to Protect the Vote (requiring photo ID)
