The Utah Senate asked Congress to repeal the 17th Amendment, which was ratified under the Progressive’s of 1913. Utah has boldly challenged a system that was never the intent of the Founding Fathers and suggests that the 17th Amendment has resulted in Senators being bound to special interest groups, that donate enormous sums of money for the Senator’s re-election, and not representing the needs of the people of Utah.
The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Al Jackson of Utah, believes that Senators need to “come home every weekend and take direction from their state legislative (sic) body and from the House and the Governor on how they should vote in the upcoming week.”
Passing with 20-6 SJR2 was sent to the House. It demands that Congress repeal the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Cow girls know
Just ask one
Muhammad’s will not Gods.. God is not the moon…mouslem..
And the exact same can be true of senator elected by the people !!! Term limits need to be imposed on both houses of Congress and lobbyists removed from the political process. This puts the government of the people and for the people back in the hands of “the people” – not in the hands of a select few who are easily corrupted.
Well
Moslems are working very hard and very very fast to eliminate Christianity, we need more voices.
Christianity needs voices. And protection from false Gods
Liberals
we did it with prohibition. It was a bad idea, proven full of unintended consequences, and was repealed the same way as it was enacted, by the will of the people.
This would be a good thing
