I wish we could hold recall elections.

Why can't they be recalled? Recalled and/or impeached is what we MUST do, if we are going to save the Republic. IF we let them get away with this, it's just a small step to the LOST Treaty and then on to gun control. Don't forget that Schummer is writing legislation to use the RICO Act against gun owners! The rotten bast*rds are so arrogant that we can't afford to trust them ever again!

Amendment XVII (the Seventeenth Amendment) of the United States Constitution

was passed by the Senate on June 12, 1911 and by the House on May 13, 1912. It was ratified on April 8, 1913 and was first put into effect for the election of 1914. It amends Article 1 Section 3 of the Constitution to provide for the direct election of Senators by the people of a state rather than their election or appointment by a state legislature, thus effectively eliminating state representation in Congress. It was passed and ratified during the Progressive Era.

I’ll bet we can get 34 state legislatures to vote to withdraw the 17th amendment......put those suckers back under direct control of state legislatures...
