I ask that you not make definitive statements about me with which you have no idea. I am under no impression. I choose to speak with facts on my side.

You may simply not know that there were democrats at the recent Artivcle V planning meeting in Mount Vernon (December 2013).

You tell me to open the door. Well, I have not only opened the door, I have opened my mind, sat down and spoken with some of the most liberal leaning Democrat state legislators in this country to discuss this issue. And we came away in agreement that this is a viable option to give them too a say in our federal law making regardless of our political philosophy.

That is my basis for this belief. What basis do you have? Your gut?

So far, I have provided you with a well written article regarding the impact of the 17th Amendment. How it created the easy system we have today for special interest groups (ALL OF THEM) to overcome state government objections. Did you read what I gave you?

You have yet to explain your logic regarding your opinion about an Article V State convention process? It seems to be just as you have formed your opinion about repealing the 17th Amendment too? Share your logic not opinion.

You know, people should consider arming themselves with ACTUAL facts rather than unsubstantiated progressive dribble. It makes it appear that they either have a vested interest in the current system (federal lobbyist, federal employee or federal beneficiary) or they have simply bought the Progressive scare tactics without a discerning eye of their own.

Sad really. Many seem to prefer to hide behind the veil of ignorance and scream for a return to constitutional government and feel like the have achieved something over igniting their minds and truly understanding how to get back to that point.

How about you? Interested?
