Time to repeal the 17th Amendment and restore our Republic.
The parties, lobbyists and the Senior Executive Service have far too much power.
Time fir a Convention of States with 2 line items..1. Repeal the 17th Amendment and 2. Eliminate the Senior Executive Service.
Our Founding Father’s were not stupid!!!
Let’s do it.
The founding fathers were not stupid, but we certainly would be if we attempted to open a Convention of the States with the type of citizens we have in America today. Don’t mess with Pandora’s box we will not like the results.
There’s not 2 people alive today with half the integrity, honor and learned enough as our founders. I do not believe we can properly handle the snakes and Judas’ a Convention of the States would bring forth.
Until we start electing honorable and honest people we need to leave that process alone.
I've been critical of having a COS for fear that it will be co-opted by corrupt politicians and wrongly influenced/bought by evil billionaire oligarchs.
The federal government is thoroughly corrupt. Over the decades the states have willingly allowed the federal government to take their power and authority with little or no resistance. Could COS amendments improve our lot? Yes, but only if the states have the will to pass amendments that reduce federal power and recover the rights/power intended for the states and the people. I have seen nothing over the past years that tells me the states have a desire to reduce federal power. If anything, the opposite. Sadly, the states and the people have become addicted to sucking at the teat of the federal government.
Having said all this, I ask myself, "How much worse would amendments that come out of a COS be compared to the sham adherence to today's Constitution"? A COS could serve to give the globalists, anti-Christians and commies even more power.
THIS ^^
The 17th Amendment destroyed the republic more fully than even the 16th. It completely altered the basis of federalism.
