Publisher's summary

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 consti­tutional system in pursuit of an all-powerful, ubiqui­tous 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 Conven­tion in Philadelphia and the delegates to each state's ratification convention foresaw a time when - despite their best efforts to forestall it - the Federal govern­ment 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 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 10 constitutional amend­ments, 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 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.

Great Book and a Great Plan

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I wish everyone would read this, understand it and act on it.

Only complaint: I wish Mark had done the audio all the way through. He does the beginning, but he is so strong.

First chapter

Any additional comments?

Buy the book for others. I plan to.

The Time for Action is Now!

Mark Levin is a champion of limited Government and the Founders' vision for preserving American liberty. His and others' calls for action have been heard nationwide, and met with an interstate grassroots movement to call an Article V Convention of States. 15 States to date have signed for the Convention to propose an amendment for congressional term limits, a balanced federal budget, and limitations on the power and influence of the federal government on our daily lives. The time for action is now. Read this book and make contact with you local Convention of States chapter before it is too late.

History we never had in Any School Class of '62!!!

Would you listen to The Liberty Amendments again? Why?

I'm on my third or fourth time - History I was never taught - American and World.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Liberty Amendments?

The clear parallels between the utopian plans and the current US Administration are truly reveling and disturbing.

What does Jason Culp and Mark R. Levin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Over coming the pronouncing issues in the historical texts.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

Carl Marx's Communist Manifesto is also describes a utopian plan

Excellent, well thought and documented book!

Excellent proposals to amend our Constitution to prevent the statists from being able to continue to take control over everything through Government fiat or regulations. Mark's proposals would ensure that the power was returned to the people/States as the Framers of the Constitution intended. Just as all his other books, this is an excellent, well documented book.

good info - vital lesson in civics

Mark Levin points out that there IS HOPE in the fight to hold onto to our inalienable rights as US Citizens. As a student, my civics class was extremely boring to me - but Mark Levin makes it interesting and the book left me in awe of the brilliance of our founding fathers.

Dry but impactful

It's a genuine historical metric for the evolution and change that has occurred to our once great constitutional republic.

Brilliant solutions to what ails governance

Well layed out foundational principals showing intent of our founding fathers, with anecdotal papers, letters and quotes. Followed by examples where our individual and state rights are smashed. There is a remedy, read this and go to Convention of States to begin to right the wrongs.

Brilliant!

Mark Levin is both a scholar and a patriot. This roadmap for amendments in a convention of states is fantastic!

Kudos to Levin

Mark Levin is excellence defined when it comes to law, the Constitution, and Liberty in our society. A must-read for anyone interested in the preservation of our Liberties.

Eyes Opened

"This is a wonderfully informative narative! I do feel like my eyes have been opened to the politics as seen through the eyes of the beholders of the Amendments themselves!"
