Article V repeal the 17th Amendment ping!
That’s good.
If Senators are not representing states, then why do we need them at all? Just get rid of the Senate altogether and turn its duties over to the House of Representatives.
To deny the sovereign people an Article V COS is to deny the American Revolution.
I worked with numerous pathological liars and even dated a couple (oops - big OUCH - double ouch). Oh yes, it was painful. All of the experiences.
I could smell Obama’s fraud a mile away.....
A manufactured past with doctored documents, a “Mein Kampf” book like Adolph Hitler, ghost-written, just like Adolph Hitler’s book and a we-are-the-world-antichrist agenda.
I picked up one of his books at Barnes and Noble and by perchance (or perhaps not) landed on a page that clearly told me he was not a Biblical Christian - despite him “quoting” the Scripture - much like his father Satan did to Jesus Christ in the wilderness.
Agree. Our Framers crafted the duties of the senate under the assumption that senators were employed by state legislatures.
To turn senators into three-term, at-large, roving state representatives was a horrid mistake.
Repeal the 17A.
But at least it would force their voters to become more engaged in state government politics. And if current GOP control of most state legislatures could translate into super-majorities in the US Senate, future congresses would be controlled by conservatives and libs would be thrown into the fringe dustbin where they belong.
Of course, there's no equivalency between true conservatives and the phony GOPe of today, so it will be a generational struggle to re-educate the public.
That leaves only Paul, Cruz, Lee, Risch, Crapo, Barrasso, Kennedy, and a handful of others.

Yes....16th AND 17th.
$9 TRILLION in debt
Race troubles
Marxist perversions pushed onto a Judeo-Christian nation
Whatta legacy.
I know....commies, everywhere, are elated.
Nothing will change unless the 16th Amendment is repealed.
ALL of today’s political problems stem from that seed.
He did well in in his presidential run against McCain with some really great presentations about the Fair Tax.
The IRS has gotten so much more horribly worse right out in the open that it is time for everyone to take a look at it.
NO!! I would have NEVER believed, on 9/12/2001, that America would elect (even fraudently) a Muslim usurper.
Still in shock over what the Commies have gotten away with.
Not a guarantee Obamacare would go away. State legislatures like the Medicaid subsidies.
Thanks for the ping.
I am on board.
“... the reasons cited for the 17th Amendment were corrupted state legislators ...”
-
Actually, that is not true.
Chronic vacancies in the senate,
and the populist movement were the reasons given.
None of us would have ever believed it.
And yet there it was.
