ZitatMark 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."
ZitatHis book predicts a war raining down from the Washington establishment and the mainstream media if the states take action because keeping the federal government powerful is in their interests. "There is no doubt that their resistance will be stubborn and their tactics desperate as they unleash the instrumentalities of the federal government and the outlets of a corroboratory media to vanquish such a movement and subdue the public," he writes. But Levin also insists it is a battle, albeit long and daunting, which can and must be waged and won to restore the republic.
Levin blames an entrenched, professional "ruling class," including governing masterminds in the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court and the bureaucracy, for promoting the form of centralized government, with concentrated power, the Constitution was established to prevent.
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
