“Why would I allow an incompetent corrupt government to choose my Senator...no way.”
The founding fathers knew that the government that you had the most control over was your state government. People’s daily lives were revolving around the state level. Today the states have been relegated to second class because of the direct election of senators.
The repeal of the 17th Amendment would make sure that more people paid attention to their “corrupt” state government, like they should be doing.
I live in a Dem state...Ohio-Voinivich is retiring. We may be able to elect a Repub...if we let the state handle it, We’d get a Dem for sure...no thanks. This would not make us more free-less I fear.
