reversing 17th amendment is a mission of freerepublic right here,,,,,,

We call for the repeal of the 17th amendment, which will reverse the independence of the Senate and reestablish the Senate as a representative of the State governments, as intended by the Founding Fathers. This arrangement was intended to be a critical check against illegal federal expansion over the States, and the people residing in the various States, and will act to return the powers not granted to the federal government, as enumerated in the Constitution, to the states.

I agree that removing the 17th Amendment is highly desirable, but I just don't think it's within the realm of what's politically possible.
