Since the last wrap-up the number of hits on the internet has fallen. Notable are the first four. The first Compromise and utopianism highlights the march for “more” democracy; the second Congress should nix the Electoral College, is a call for further dismantling of our founders efforts; the third Senate Passes $555-Billion Spending Bill, is from me, highlighting the $555 billion Omnibus spending bill, which should be cause for alarm for all Americans. The fourth, Contingent Freedom, provides a historical examination of the 16th and 17th Amendment, and the Federal Reserve Act, and how these measures affect our freedom.

Repeal The 17th Amendment
By SeanW
But the 17th Amendment changed that. Now, as we know, Senators are elected by popular vote. They no longer must answer to their own state government. And they have FAR too much power because of it. read more.

I thought I would reciprocate the visit you provided at LPJ ...
