Jim, I am with you especially on the unbelievably detrimental effect that the 17th amendment had on the country.

Maybe what FR needs nowadays is something to rally around that we all should agree on, to replace Clinton who we all agreed was someone to rally against.

Maybe FR should adopt an official position, that of setting a goal of getting the repeal of the 17th on the national consciousness by 2006 or some other date. Set it in motion, and let's get people working on ways to make it happen. Brainstorming on how to frame the arguments. How to win people over to it. How to get the issue enacted in various states.

Let's get something we can all rally for going.
