Found on Neal Boortz Feb 25, 2004

I found this on Neal Boortz's website concerning the repeal of the 17th Admendment.

BUT ... AS LONG AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION

There have only been 27 amendments to our Constitution. The last basically said that the congress couldn't raise its own pay without an intervening election. Now there was a Constitutional amendment that recognized the essential truth about today's breed of politicians. Our founding fathers didn't put that in the original because they couldn't think in terms of elected officials staging raids on the taxpayers funds to the extent that they do today.

Read the rest of the article here.

Note: scroll down through the page to find the actual 17th Amendment article.
