The web site confounds two issues: A call to action to repeal the 17th Amendment AND a request for money:

Figure out what you can afford and then add a few dollars more in honor of the men in the VA hospitals and the 1,252,188 members of Disabled American Veterans who are not receiving adequate care, partly because of the bloated, inefficient, dollar consuming bureaucracy but primarily because Congress has proven itself to be the world’s most profligate spendthrift.

While both are good causes, it does not stipulate what part of your money goes for which cause.

IMHO this site needs a touch of professionalism and clarity of purpose.

You will please note that I said “a few extra dollar” in “honor of,” not “for.” My point is that by allowing this government to go this far we have, essentially, betrayed the men who spilled their blood on our beahalf, and, as stated, it’s time to make amends.

As for being “professional?” As I recall, the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were hand printed on parchment, straightforward, simple statements of purpose.And that’s what is on the web page. No bells, whistles, swooping eagles, just a simple, straighforward statement of the problem and the proposed solution.

Because you had the courtesy to send me an email, I sent you a copy of the plan. For the people who have read it, it seems to be split into three camps

1.Those who believe it will work.

2. Those who don’t think it will.

3. Those who are afraid it will.

If you fall into number 1, get aboard.

If you fall into number 2, you’re in line with about 2/3 of the people who thought Thomas Jefferson and those other idiots who signed the Declaration of Independence were looking at nothing more than a short trip on a tight rope, because, obviously, it won’t work.

I don’t think you fall into number 3. Incidentally, from the feedback I get, those in Number 1 are leading.

The choice is yours.
