About this eBook
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.

In this great little nugget, talk radio host and Constitutional lawyer Mark Levin outlines the needed amendments to our Constitution that will save our nation. Mark has done it again. Worth reading if you want to know what the answer is to ending tyranny and making our country prosperous. Liberty Amendments proposes real solutions to real problems. Highly recommended...if you're not a stupid, uneducated, low information liberal hack who doesn't understand common sense thinking anyway.

Democrat or Republican, Conservative or Liberal, while you may not agree with his solutions, you will see how the Constitution that all leaders have sworn to uphold has been shredded by those same leaders and the problems that have resulted. Great read, well researched, and a very good start on the road back to the America our founding fathers envisioned.
