It’s a start.
Yup. No more pix of Mad Johnny prancing around Syria. The senators from Arizona would actually have to represent the state.
While we’re at it...repeal the 16th and leave the funding of the fedgov to the states as well. None of this crap about bills coming to our houses from D.C.
obama treats the people like his unlearned children and only obama knows what is best. He rules by decree and the stroke of his pen, paying no mind to what his unlearned children want. He’s the parent and he can do whatever he chooses. The congress slaves will obey him.
He has had the easiest dictatorship ... and in the land where we are supposed to be FREE.
The 17 Amendment was a travesty.
Just a little information:
Due to the controversy over the impact of the Seventeenth Amendment, there has been advocacy for both reform and repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment.
With the commencement of the Obama Administration in 2009, four sitting Democratic senators left the Senate for executive branch positions: Barack Obama (President), Joe Biden (Vice President), Hillary Rodham Clinton (Secretary of State), and Ken Salazar (Secretary of the Interior). Controversies developed about the successor appointments made by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and New York Governor David Paterson.
This created interest in abolishing Senate appointment by the governor.[57] Accordingly, Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin[58] and Representative David Dreier of California proposed an amendment to remove this power;
Senators John McCain and Dick Durbin became co-sponsors, as did Representative John Conyers.[57] The Tea Party movement has been arguing for repealing the Seventeenth Amendment entirely, claiming that it would protect states’ rights and reduce the power of the federal government.[59]
Be careful what you wish for. Look at California. The state is Democratic from now on soon to be under the governance of Mexico. Check Illinois, New York, Massachusetts etc. etc. They are and will be Democratic leftist. By changing the mode of election from popular vote to legislative vote one would change nothing in the leftist states.
