The Liberty Amendments- Chapter 1: Restoring the American Republic

The discussion of Mark Levin's new book, The Liberty Amendments, is kicking off this week. We will take it one chapter per week. It will be very informal. Feel free to post whatever you find interesting about Chapter One below.

The words that sit at the vortex of Levin's position are, "The Congress,...on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments... ."
Clearly, the Framers foresaw the federal government becoming protective of its power, and so they defined the means by which we, the people, could call for amending the Constitution through application by the States.

There are two things at work here. One is coming to the knowledge that the Framers provided us with the means to amend the Constitution that originates with the States rather than with Congress. The other is Levin's proposed amendments.

My questions are:
1. How do we, the People, impel our States to apply to Congress to call a Convention?

2. How do we impel Congress to propose amendments that will protect our Constitutional Republic, when it seems that the Progressive majority has a vested interest is in its erosion into European-style Socialism?

I recently heard Levin say, "My colleagues are constantly telling me to stop saying that this is going to take time. But, IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME!" This made me laugh, and it echoed my thought. I add that it requires the work and commitment of the citizens of the Republic.

Let the games begin.
