[April Lexington]

The powers of the Federal government must be severely restricted by the states. Return all political power to the states. Strip all executive and legislative power from the federal government and have a Congress of our elected state governors serve as a legislature that directs the federal administration in its ministerial duties. Or,... kiss our collective freedoms goodbye!

[GregoryFul]

Currently, the federal “government” does not legitimately hold the power that it exercises every day. No provision of the Constitution permits the federal government to give away trillions of taxpayer $ to some favored entities in this country, obviously. The thieves just take it, and allocate it to their buddies and supporters, the people and the states do nothing.
We are owned by enslaving thieving $hitbags, and are docile in the face of their boot on our neck.

Then return the power of the states to the people.

...have a Congress of our elected state governors serve as a legislature that directs the federal administration in its ministerial duties...

We basically had that prior to the 17th Amendment.

The 17th Amendment superseded Article One, Section 3 of the Constitution.

The States have no representation in Washington today.
