You should. This is exactly what should happen across the nation. You have no idea how much harm the seventeenth Amendment has caused this nation and the ideals of it’s founders. Repealing it is one of the first steps to reclaiming our lost liberties. We must strengthen the states back to their original power. This is the primary weapon Progressives used to take ownership of this nation.
This won't strengthen the states, but rather will strengthen the two party system even more. Remember, even the so called conservative dem reps in the House voted for Pelosi, not who their constituents wanted them to vote for. If legislatures choose senators, it will not be the person their constituents want, but the person the national parties tell them to choose. Imagine how many conservative Republicans would in the senate if the RNC was calling the shots, likewise, how many moderate dems would there be if the DNC was calling it. The Tea Party would be a nonentity in the senate if the 17th were repealed. If you really want to make the states more powerful, reduce the power of federal judges; they are the ones who block reform at every opportunity. Congress has that Constitutional power.
