Excellent idea. Finding a way to recall U.S. Senators more easily. Doing that would really help.

I will look into it.

I don't think we can do it without an amendment to reverse the 17th. That's the difficulty. Without official state representation in the Senate, we have no control over what Congress does. Either House. It may SEEM like we do, but we don't.

It's easier for Citizens of the state to control the state legislators (who at one time elected U.S. senators) than it is for the people to control congress directly. We've had mob rule for a long time. People are so used to it, they will continue to submit.
