One of the worst things this country did was to pass the amendment that allows direct election of senators. Our founding fathers had it right, directly elect the representatives to represent the people, and let the state legislatures appoint the senators so they will represent the states.

By allowing direct election, senators fall prey to lobbyists who have nothing to offer the state the senators represent, but offer money to the senator for re-election.

They want to do campaign finance reform? How about no representative or senator can accept money from an out of state source.

I’m surprised Shumer hasn’t kneecapped Reid after Brown won. These radical agendas along with his horrible nastiness should turn regular Americans off...be nice if he lost his senate seat.
