What's it all about?
10 Amendments for Freedom, Inc. is not-for-profit corporation established
to educate the American people
on the need to amend the Constitution. It is coordinating the
America's Freedom Amendments movement.
In order to amend the Constitution, an
amendment must first be formally "proposed." After it is proposed, it
needs to be ratified or approved by three-fourths of the states.
There are two ways to propose an
amendment.
1) The Congress, by two-thirds of the
vote of both the House and the Senate, may propose an amendment.
2)
Delegates at a convention requested
by the state legislatures may propose amendments.
The Constitution has been amended
27 times. Each of these amendments was proposed by Congress.
Since the Freedom Amendments
will restrain Congress, Congress will not likely propose the
amendments. Therefore, the amendments need to be proposed by an
Amendments Convention called by the state legislatures as provided
for in Article V of the Constitution.

How it began.
Message from William H. Fruth
Founder
January - 2010
For
the past fifteen years, I have traveled the United States analyzing
local economies and advising communities on how to improve the
standard of living for the people who live and work in their area.
(POLICOM Corporation)
During this time I became increasingly frustrated with the direction our
nation was taking.
I could see that many times the reason a local economy was failing was
the result of the policies of the federal government.
Punitive
regulations, fees, and taxes imposed at the national level were
causing wealth producing businesses to close and an overall decline in
the standard of living for many Americans.
As government's influence over the marketplace
increased, extreme fluctuations occurred in the cost and supply of
many services and products, such a housing, healthcare, and gasoline.
But that was not the only problem.
Year after year Congress borrowed money to pay for the
expansion of the federal government with little concern about how the
debt would impact future generations.
Through the use of its enormous treasury, it purchased
and extorted power from state and local governments, causing us to
lose control of our schools, cities, and counties, as they must now
all conform their decisions to the policies of the federal government.
It seemed all of the negative issues which our founding
fathers feared could occur when they created the federal government,
including the loss of individual freedom, were coming to
fruition.
I felt helpless as to what I could do about these
problems, as they seemed so immense. I became convinced that if
nothing was done, in a brief fifteen years, this country would bear
little resemblance to the one in which I grew up.
Then one rainy day in July of 2008, before the
presidential election, I began reading a pocket size copy of the
Constitution of the United States which had recently been mailed to me
by the American Institute for Economic Research.
When I reached Article V and read how the state
legislatures could call for an Amendments Convention, it seemed like
I was hit by a bolt of lightening.
I found a means by which we
the people could reverse the direction the nation was taking, since we
have greater influence over our state legislators than the
representatives we send
to Washington.
I decided to write a book explaining how we can add specific amendments to the
Constitution by way of the convention. Thus began the long journey of researching how to cause the
convention to occur and which amendments should be adopted.
There have been many excellent books written by some
really smart people discussing many of the issues with which I
have concern. They have been read by millions of people.
Yet nothing changed. I believe little changed because the authors left to
others the daunting task of taking action.
Therefore, when I decided to write the book in 2008, I came to
realization I would also have to implement what I advocated.
And so, eighteen months later, the
10 Amendments for Freedom was finished. As a result,
beginning in January of 2010 I curtailed my economic research business and
now spend most of my time convincing legislators and people like you that we need to
have these amendments become the law of the land.
Join with me. We will do this. There is nothing
which can stop us except our own inaction. Also, this might be our last chance.
