The 17th Amendment destroyed our Republican form of government. The founders knew what they were doing when they formed our government.
The people had a house...the House of Representatives to serve the people in various districts. Then they formed the Senate, the state’s representatives in Washington D.C. In this way, the federal government was a partner with the states. The states had a say in how the federal government operated. The states couldn’t be railroaded by an overpowering central government.
Then came along the 17th Amendment and gave the people two houses and took the states out of the equation and made them subservient to the federal government...something the founding fathers did not want at all.
Repeal the 17th Amendment now!!!!!
There is a reason the history of the 17th Amendment isn’t covered in publik skools.
I would never want to lose the ability to vote for both Senators and Congress...so I would never vote to repeal the 17th amendment. Why would I allow an incompetent corrupt government to choose my Senator...no way.
