Repeal the 17th Amendment

This web-log calls for the repeal of the 17th Amendment and addresses the hegemony committed by the US Senate. The first significant step to remove the domination and unmistakable corruption deriving from the National Government and the restoration of the Federal is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Americans should fear the steady hegemonic growth by the Senate oligarchy because the US Constitution cannot be spoiled by bombs, the courts, or the President, but only through malevolent legislation.

Utah to Consider a “Soft Repeal” of the 17th Amendment

Legislature tries to grab more power - By Glen Warchol

Another Senate measure is billed as a "soft repeal" of the 17th Amendment that transferred the selection of U.S. senators from the state legislatures to a popular vote.
Sponsored by Sen. Howard Stephenson, SB156 would give the Legislature's majority party caucuses control over the selection of senate candidates.

Comment: Good luck Utah. This movement has to start in the state general assemblies; after all it was state authority that was thwarted.

Yikes! I doubt that that is the best argument to use.; 6/21/2006 8:27 PM
