It's been up and down over the years but the blogging keeps me partially focused on the shenanigans in the US Senate. <br /><br />Getting this repealed is a tough fight, but at least for now I hope we are waking people up to the origins of the US Constitution and the creation of Congress and the role the US Senate once had. <br /><br />But even if the repeal did happen we would still need to make a modification and add a recall provision that was left out of the Constitution from the Articles of Confederation. That would put the states back into the Federal Government and restore the 10th Amendment.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043279868308825316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-14388739520739898392010-12-04T11:48:41.771-05:002010-12-04T11:48:41.771-05:00We live in revolutionary times.

The situation on the ground may change very rapidly and enable ideas that seem radical today (like repealing the 17th Amendment, or even states declaring independence) to become mainstream.<br /><br />Brian, I appreciate your perseverance on a topic that strikes many of us as rather narrow for a blog -- yet you provide much fresh content! <br /><br />Keep up the good fight! I have your back.Harold Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126953671652930894noreply@blogger.com
