Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments

Nick Dranias, 12 years ago

Welcome to the party, Mark Levin! The Goldwater Institute (through yours truly) commissioned Rob Natelson’s seminal three part policy report urging the states to use their power under Article V to originate constitutional amendments nearly 3 years ago. Since then, I’ve been battling for various Article V initiatives in over 20 states. Our most recent effort is Compact for America, which uses an agreement among the states to determine in advance all aspects of the Article V convention process, to quickly and safely advance a powerful balanced budget amendment. I call it Article V 2.0. Read more about it here: http://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/articlev

All of Mark Levin’s proposed amendments are great policy ideas that I fully support. The only caveat I have is the fact that you need 38 states to ratify them. And some of the proposed amendments are going to have a very hard, if not impossible, time getting more than 25 behind them.

But hey, nobody said changing the world is easy. Go for it!
