I already told you the facts.

There is no way in hell that Americans will give up their vote for senators. Instead of acknowledging that fact you stamp your feet and and choose to pursue that dead end rather than looking for an alternative that actually has a chance of success.

We just saw 45 state legislatures vote to approve common core and you want to blindly trust them to pick senators for us? I simply say that we should do away with the popular vote for senators and elect them according to how many congressional districts they win. We can still give the state legislatures the power to remove senators.

You stamp your feet . . . I assure you that your childish and repetitive insults have no effect.

. . . choose to pursue that dead end rather than looking for an alternative. Let me guess. Do you recommend we vote every other year? That will restore our liberty? Funny.

There is no way in hell that Americans will give up their vote for senators.

If you are so sure, then no harm can be done trying to repeal the 17th, right?

Fact: Over half of the states opposed Obamacare in court. States are desperately trying to clean up voter rolls and demand photo ID. It is no secret that Rome-on-the-Potomac is smothering our freedoms. Depending on the poll, Obama comes in around 40%. On campaign stops, Rats run away from his presence. Obama and his rats are weak, and it is the perfect time to take on the statists.

We just saw 45 state legislatures vote to approve common core. Common core is just another dependable, time proven method of the rats to ensnare the states. It is another reason to return the states to the senate.

We can still give the state legislatures the power to remove senators. Oooh, but wouldn't that overturn your precious democratic vote of the people?

Do yourself a favor and read a few works of our Framing generation. Start with Federalist 62.
