If you want a Constitutional Republic back you better repeal the 17th as well.

You haven't read Levin's book have you? If you had, you would know that is one of the key proposals.

Sure, but it's not in the article to which these comments respond and therefor needs to be reiterated along with the above about taxation.

I guess you assume everyone has read his book or you'd have added that reiteration yourself, right?

For the first time since joining FR, I am scratching my head about the apparent ignorance on an issue among many FReepers. I suspect a great many people have not read or are not familiar with Levine's proposal/book.

This is generally a bullet smart, patriotic and active crowd. I'm proud to associate myself and participate. But as I scroll through some of the comments here, it is apparent, we (collectively) need to humbly educate ourselves on this issue. WE are pushing in all directions here. As such, I presume the Tea Party faithful must be doing the same. It might explain why this is taking so long to gain traction.
