[Vince Ferrer]

How on Earth does one educate the masses on this when it will be portrayed as “undemocratic?”

I would describe it the same way I describe it here. The tenth amendment is the only way to declare a truce in the culture civil wars going on in this country today. One side is not going to vanquish the other any time soon, but liberal states and conservative states can live together in one country peacefully, if they are allowed to run their own states as they see fit.

The states used to elect senators, who then could act on behalf of their states as a check on unlimited federal power. Repealing the 17th amendment would work to restore checks and balances between states and the federal government.

to the states interests...the Establishment Party shall fight this, tooth & nail...it's their power
