The only thing you can realistically do to restore the vote of the people is to repeal the 14th amendment. It is the 14th amendment that enabled the Federal court to deny the people the right to modify their constitution as to protect the definition of marriage, protect unborn human life, protect our right to choose who we do business with, protect our right to be treated equally by the government on the account of race.(affirmative action).
Given the way that the 14th Amendment has been worded, and the court has used it, we would require an amendment of infinite length to protect the infinite number of rights which the court could could uses the same amendment to usurp.
We are better of repealing the whole thing and replacing it with a simple Prohibition against Government discrimination on the account of race.
I think people are so mad ("Boiling Over" as Peggy Noonan said in one of her more lucid columns) right now, that marriage and English language amendments would catch fire, with some states lining up for preliminary / "show of hands" votes in support of amendments. Throw the "clarification" / rewording / replacement of the 14th Amendment on the barbie and I'm sure it will get a fair shot in the same states. Nothing wrong with "bundling" of several simple single separate amendments into the same election cycles (not into one amendment). Politicians would have to choose where they stand - these are all simple and clear enough for them to try and wiggle out.
Maybe someone on FR can start an activism thread to get suggestions and criticism on these 3 amendment issues (repeal of 17th is getting a lot of play on FR, but I don't understand how it will be an improvement or how to explain its relevancy to issues of the day, and it's futile anyway - not going to happen - so it's a waste of time and effort, better spent on relevant current "hot button" issues).
