[Political Junkie Too]

Of course, rereading this, it becomes apparent that it only takes 10 years to turn over the Senate, not 18.

This may sound like a good idea, but in reality it will never happen. First for the reasons you mention above. Second, The thought of calling a constitutional convention should scare the crap out of all of us. A Convention cannot be narrowly defined. The first and only one we ever had was to strenghthen the articles of confederation. They quickly turned into ultra secret procedings and quite frankly we got lucky with the result. Imagine if you will who would be invited to a new convention. Bill and Hillary, Jesse Jackson, Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter. Need I say more? Better off trying to get honest pepole into the structure we have than by taking the chance of having the greatest government formed by man tossed asside by the very people we are trying to rid from office. Just my two cents

Repeal of the 17th amendment would do more to restore our Constitution than anything that could be possibly done. The Amendment 10 would be restored to where it meant something. Amendment 17 was passed in the same year that the Federal Reserve and modern income tax.

1913 must have been the most insane year in American history. World War I was on everybody's mind and the country was unified to a greater amount than it has been since. The citizenry looked to the Federal government to protect them, not realizing they were creating their own slavery.
