Mark R. Levin has made the case, in numerous New York Times best-selling books - Men in Black, Liberty and Tyranny, and Ameritopia - that the principles undergirding our society and governmental system are unravelling. In The Liberty Amendments, he turns to the founding fathers and the constitution itself for guidance in restoring the American republic.
For a century, the Statists have steadfastly constructed a federal Leviathan, distorting and evading our constiÂtutional system in pursuit of an all-powerful, ubiquiÂtous central government. The result is an ongoing and growing assault on individual liberty, state sovereignty, and the social compact. Levin argues that if we cherish our American heritage, it is time to embrace a constitutional revival.
The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional ConvenÂtion in Philadelphia and the delegates to each state's ratification convention foresaw a time when - despite their best efforts to forestall it - the Federal governÂment might breach the Constitution's limits and begin oppressing the people. Agencies such as the IRS and the 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 purÂpose of amending the Constitution. Levin argues that we, the people, can avoid a perilous outcome by seekÂing recourse, using the method called for in the ConÂstitution itself.
The Framers adopted 10 constitutional amendÂments, called the Bill of Rights, that would preserve individual rights and state authority. Levin lays forth 11 specific prescriptions for restoring our founding principles, ones that are consistent with the Framers' design. His proposals - such as term limits for memÂbers of Congress and Supreme Court justices and limÂits 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.

"I like to do my homework. I research as many ideas as I can before deciding my viewpoint on any subject. So, I bought Levin's book. I read the index page and thought, ok, there are some ideas here worth taking a look at. Then I started reading. Instead of supporting his ideas with facts and thoughtful pose there was nothing here but overly dramatic rhetoric. Rather than provide insight he decided to focus on incitement. I have no respect for someone who uses drama and rhetoric to make a living. I don't believe for one moment that he believes any of the crap he spews here."

The Liberty Amendments Restoring the American Republic Audible Audio Edition Mark R Levin Jason Culp Simon Schuster Audio Books Reviews
- My first red flag was in the author's first chapter, when he used significant space to rant against President Obama's use of executive orders to move forward things that his intransigent Congress was unwilling to tackle (take immigration reform, for example). With no mention of the fact that President Bush before him used far more EOs. I then took a look at his list of proposed Amendments to the Constitution. While there are ones I could support, like term limits for federal and Supreme Court justices, his takes on limiting taxes and reverting to state's rights started ringing familiar. So, I looked him up. First, he is president of the Landmark Legal Foundation, which is a conservative think tank which, according to SourceWatch, an "important part of its strategy is filing complaints with government agencies on various issues." Another important strategy is "defunding the Left", it supports school vouchers, and it went after Wisconsin judges who signed on to a recall petition against the State's governor, Scott Walker. And according to Wikipedia, the organization nominated Rush Limbaugh for the Nobel Prize.
That ought to be enough to alert you to the extreme bias of this author. I am sorry I bought this book. Should have done my research beforehand. - I like to do my homework.

- There is a video on YouTube called "Don't Be A Sucker." It was created by the US government during WWII to combat just this sort of garbage. It is about 20 minutes long and is very well done.
The key part - and I'm paraphrasing - happens just after a WASPy looking guy has been listening to a man deliver a soapbox harangue about how foreigners and minorities are taking all the jobs, and so forth. He just keeps picking on group after group. The WASPy guy is enthralled. The orator is saying everything he wants to hear.
Eventually, the orator picks on Freemasons. Now the WASPy guy says, "Hey, wait a minute! I'M a Mason!" So the guy next to him says, "You liked him until he said that, didn't you?"
He then continues "Beware of this kind of divisive talk. Whenever people are saying these kinds of things, SOMEONE'S GOING TO BENEFIT FROM IT, AND IT ISN'T GOING TO BE YOU."
He explains about how the Nazis promised the German people the sun, the moon, and the stars; and then proceeded to treat them like crap. They overworked them, lied to them, and committed crimes in their name. Nobody got what was promised. It was all a ploy to give powerful men unchecked power, and it worked because there are always powerful men who know how to exploit people's fears. They conjure up boogeymen and position themselves as the solution, knowing that frightened, weak-minded people are easily misled. Of course, it's always a big lie.
Truly, this old war film is a clarion call DON'T BE A SUCKER!!!
This book is basically a love letter to the Koch brothers and other 1%ers who look on the rest of humanity as a teeming mass of filthy insects. At the center of their minds - and Levin's - are howling voids that demand infinite money. But these voids can never be filled. No number of billions of dollars will ever be enough for them to be satisfied. They must have as much money as possible.
They want to put an end to welfare, Medicare, and Medicaid. They want to put an end to anything that could possibly result in them being taxed for anything that doesn't benefit them directly. If a senior citizen who's too old and sick to work has to eat dog food or starve because their pills are too expensive, or spend winter without heat, they don't care. If some kid through no fault of their own is malnourished due to cutting food stamps or school lunch programs, their attitude is, "Let them eat cake."
The Kochs are trying to make a Constitutional Convention, and their plan is to push these very amendments.
Why do you suppose that is???
Do you suppose it's for the benefit of the common citizen???
Do you imagine they're on your side???
They're not. They're on THEIR side. WE ARE ALL DISGUSTING INSECTS TO THEM AND NOTHING MORE.
DON'T BE A SUCKER!!! THEIR RHETORIC IS INTENDED TO BENEFIT ***THEM***!!! NOT YOU!!!
