It seems that repeal of the 17th would only be the first step, with many vital steps afterwards necessary.

I am not opposing such a move, and would support it. We need to be realistic to know that many huge battles would follow a win on that one.

I do think it’s far too late to reform. As many have said, the problem wasn’t the election of Obama for ‘12 - it was the mass of brainwashed idiots who put him in office a 2nd time after his true colors became known to all in his first 4 years.......indicating the state of our nation.....

I suspect the media will recognize the threat we present after the next assembly of the states this coming June. All hell will break lose in a coordinated attack. Fine, since we're currently headed for disaster, let's have that debate over first principles. Independents will be reminded of a heritage they perhaps forgot, and the radical left will have to defend what they've done. At least I hope so, there is no telling how events will develop leading up to a convention.
