It's the nature of man to seek power, and those who legislate in the states are no different from those in DC.

At the Assembly of States meeting in Indianapolis, legislators are reminded that they do not have to put up with an abusive, all powerful national government. They can retrieve the freedom securing power of our original constitutional design.

"It's the nature of man to seek power, and those who legislate in the states are no different from those in DC."

That's very true. Allowing them the sole discretion of electing senators would be wrong. The 17th Amendment stays.

Members of the state legislatures lean further to toward big government than most of the rest of us with their property tax hikes without causes, impact fees, regulations against private property rights and industry, zoning ordinances against productive and honorable private activities (like new, small manufacturing shops),...

"At the Assembly of States meeting in Indianapolis, legislators are reminded that they do not have to put up with an abusive, all powerful national government. They can retrieve the freedom securing power of our original constitutional design."

They are in bed with the legislators and their favored constituents in DC. They would be more so, if they further controlled the Senate. They receive much of their funding for political activities from their mates in DC.

We don't need a house of lords. Governments like that of the U.K. are more socialist and corrupted by the effete than our own.

We'll cancel vacations (debt/revenues, fuel, etc.), build tiny houses (very low property taxes), become more independent with home energy (debt/revenues), work more for ourselves (debt/revenues), be more helpful to our better neighbors (true conservatives--not "as seen on TV") and more definitively denounce corruption, when the time is right.

As political bosses at all levels of plotting and scheming see, those measures are more powerful than votes. And as more decent Americans are made examples of (illegally persecuted and robbed, mostly at local levels), the temperature will be increased.
