Mark Levin Urges Patriots to Call a ‘We the People’ Convention to
Stop Obama
Mark Levin, who hosts one of America’s top radio talk shows and is
considered by supporters to be the people’s pundit on the Constitution, is
rallying his 8.5 million-strong audience to demand an historic convention of
state governments to halt the “oppressive power” of the federal government.
The author of two New York Times bestsellers on the threats to the
Constitution, Levin hopes his latest, “The Liberty Amendments,”
out mid-August, will spark the state lawmakers to tap a rarely used
Constitutional provision to institute measures that would brake President
Obama’s use of executive orders, bar thousand-page laws and collar inventive
judges.
In a copy provided to Secrets, Levin writes that his book is an
appeal “to rebalance the constitutional structure for the purpose of restoring
our founding principles.”
Levin’s proposal for a grassroots, “We the People” effort focusing
on state legislatures is especially appealing to Tea Party members and
conservatives riled at Obamacare, snooping scandals and immigration reform. One
Tea Party insider said the new book has the potential to reignite the movement.
He is likely to have a big impact. The reason: While Rush Limbaugh
and Sean Hannity have bigger audiences, Levin’s is extremely loyal, especially
within the Tea Party movement. They helped make his book, “Liberty and Tyranny:
A Conservative Manifesto,” a mega seller at 1.3 million sold.
For Levin, who is also a lawyer and conservative legal activist
through his Landmark Legal Foundation, the idea of a convention of the states
to control Washington’s “ruling class” is actually an explicit constitutional
option, not a radical idea, established in Article V. He writes that the
framers feared the federal government might become oppressive and they provided
future generations with a way out. The amendment process enables two-thirds of
the state legislatures to convene a convention for the purpose of amending the
Constitution, and then requires three-fourths to approve the proposals before
they become the law of the land.
