I will once again attribute many of opur problems to the 17th Amendment. Once again, the need for our Senators to rely on, and constantly campaign for popular election/re-election means that they pander to the masses as a glorified house of representatives instead of advocating for the interests of their respective states as our founders had intended.

Repeal the 17th and quadruple the number of Reps. Get rid of the oligarchy.
