To: Repeal 16-17

thank Heaven our Founders thought to give us the Electoral College!

without it, we would have been stuck with HilLIARy!

now we should reconsider the 16th and 17th Amendments

repealing the federal government’s power to directly tax individual citizens of the states.....and repealing the populist election of US Senators (which were designed to represent the States, not the voters...representing the voters is what the House of Representatives was, is designed to do...)

we may eventually be able to regain our republic and with it, our individual liberties

Again with the foolish notion of doing away with Senate elections?

The old process was corrupt

We should REPEAL the 16th Amendment immediately!

And replace the Marxist inspired “progressive” income tax with the FAIRtax!

And abolish the IRS!

[Please take note of my tagline!]

Please go to http://www.bigsolution.org to find out how to help us do that.

I also believe that we need to have a thorough national discussion about repealing the 17th Amendment.

Direct election of US Senators has certainly led us down the “Big Government/Big Spending” path and eroded the 10th Amendment and States Rights, has it not?

It does seem to me that Senators beholden to their State Government might be of some benefit to the country.

Just sayin’.
