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

William H. Fruth - FounderFor 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.
