The story is a real truth, The United States Senate no longer supports the American People nor does it support the voters who sent them there. They have become like the Senate of Rome before the Republic fell, worried about their own power and royal standing rather than the United States. The 17th Amendment has assured that we will have a royal anti-american Senate and it should be repealed immediately. We have very few Americans in the US Senate and we need to repeal the 17th Amendment so the state houses will again have the power to send representatives of the people to the US Senate.

The US Senate is responsible for the attack of 9/11 and the other terrorist attacks since they are the ones who drew the line in the sand and did not let the intelligence agencies talk to each other on what was going to happen. They have proved to be anti-Americans who are only interested in keeping their royal positions and care less what happens to the American people or the United States.

REPEAL THE 17TH AMENDMENT!

Your post bears repeating. The 17th amendment wounded federalism. It made the Senate more vulnerable to special interest groups and removed the voice of the states from the federal government. Repealing the 17th amendment would be the first step towards restoring the system that the Founding Fathers designed and that was broken in 1913 by the 17th amendment. (Repealing the 17th amendment would also restore an important part of the checks and balances envisioned in the US Constitution)
