I’ve been in support of repealing the 17th Amendment for a long time now.
Me, too!
While we are still likely to end up with corrupt hacks in the Senate, at least they will be beholden to the interests of their own state.
As it is, money for senate campaigns come in throughout the country, and we end up with senators who are more beholden to Wall Street or the banks or the high-tech or medical industries.
No, we cannot escape corrupt politicians but we can at least try to direct their corruptness to our own states.
