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.

Why should we let these people rule us…..get them out!!..dont hurt them…I say that for the cameras…get them outta here…dont hurt them now…
I’m American, and certainly have no desires to be “destroyed”, “attacked” or made to look as if Gods answer to humanity was HIS only mistake, in having trust, in those of us blessed enough to call ourselves “AMERICAN”, I for one believe God makes no mistakes….
Destruction isn’t an option brother, hypocritical democracy and hatred for each other, will never work either, not today, not any day! It’s going to take a full blown uprising, I’d say anger, but that won’t fix anything, never does. No, it’s going to require thoughtful humans, open minded humans, patriotic humans, constitutionally educated humans, trustworthy, loyal, brave, respectful, honorable humans are required, serving your country in the military won’t hurt, actually all those Obama decided to war against for opposing him, need to step to the plate for this battle, we are never going to be the same again, never!
This Republic, MY Republic of the United States of America, has been attacked, pilfered, morally challenged, ethically abused and finally, whether some wish to hear this or not, it really matters not, truth is truth, GOD is under attack, and HE, is standing by to see who is listening, who will stand, who will fight for those who won’t or can’t, HE’s waiting to see who obeys and has taken time to learn who this God actually is.
There are some like Hillary Clinton who believe they have the power to deny everything asked in lieu of power, the power of suggestion even bullying to some extent. She has cast her shadow of being purely anti-American military, Benghazi and her arrogance describing the murders of four Americans by extremist Islamist and the following denial by Hillary of wrong doing when advised to act, and her famous show of arrogance by saying “what difference does it make now?”, when asked about the killings and what she knew and when. Now this female liar and disgrace to her office and America wishes this issue be silent….just as she was silent about Obama’s treasonous attitude which resulted in the careless attitude of his cabinet and staff….why would they care after all, the only thing lost are American lives.
There’s quite a tossup as to who’s worse, Michelle “I hate everything white and American” Obama, or the dishonorable Hillary “the Liar” Clinton….both have no honor, both hate America, both backed the most dangerous socialist radical Muslim in the world, one is his servant, the other his political whore, both bad for America and the world. Hillary proved and she really never had to, of her need to put her political career ahead of American lives, then when asked about this incident in Benghazi, her true colors were flying strong…the arrogance flag she endorsed with Barack and Michelle. And what of this servant female called Michelle Obama, who hired her? No American did, in ANY ELECTION! So why does she believe she is the dietician for America, not by example, but by disrespect she insists her whims be followed, or else!
Hillary rebuked Congress again, concerning the email account, THE PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNT FROM HER HOME WHICH IS ILLEGAL, by deleting and ignoring pleas for transparency by providing documents and emails while holding the office of Sec. of State, WHY WOULD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT SOME LYING, ANTI-AMERICAN, ANTI-MILITARY FEMALE TO REPRESENT THEM….IS THE POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT SO SLIM AS TO OFFER UP THIS LYING$#%&!@*AS A POSTER CHILD FOR CORRUPTION, IS THIS WHAT WE’VE BECOME AS A NATION WHERE GARBAGE LIKE HILLARY SEEM TO BE THE BEST CHOICE OUT THERE ? REALLY!!!!!!
This nation we call America has been as they say “ Pac’s to hell and back”, for fear of hurting some fools feelings, by saying the wrong thing at the right time, all provoked by this non-leadership administration and this pro-Islamic, pro-racial division, pro-socialism radical Muslim called Obama. We have witnessed the assassination of free speech, the fearful inactions of a Congress that allows this country to tumble into a black hole of doubt and denial, of truth, an example of this is Obama’s need to finance and arm the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as soon as the his brethren were in charge there, he couldn’t stop himself from sending them millions of tax payer dollars, and fighters and tanks, all the while they were killings Christians, killing those who saw through the veil of deceit and lies manifest by radical Islamist who utilized numbers not honor to steal the election, only to murder and manipulate themselves into power and lust for more killings, and Barack Hussein Obama was only too happy to provide arms, money and his personal backing to these satanic worshipers and deniers’ of God and truth…..and at the very same time, Obama continued his attack on the American military establishment worldwide, with nothing out of Congress to stop him, cowards all of them seem to be, in lieu of that “paycheck” !
This is war, survival of OUR way of life is on the line people, America has been attacked by Lucifer’s army, his captain is Barack Hussein Obama, and his vessel is extremist Islam, all that provokes extremist Islam, and all that appose extremist Islam….your choice…CAN’T SIT THIS ONE OUT FOLKS !
I agree, this is one of many changes made to the original constitution designed to weaken the influence of state government in federal affairs.
I have been suggesting this for years!!!
trem limits for all of them
The founding fathers knew the dangers of a Senate elected by the people and was the reason the Constitution had the House of Representatives (aka @The People’s House) actually elect the Senate. Leave it to government to mess this up too.
Roger Ameden I agree with you in Principle. However, the corrupt influence will just$#%&!@*from the Senator to the various states. Special interests (Big Money) will just change tactics.
I don’t see how making senators appointed again gives the people more power.
Shane Siron – it allows the States to have a voice and to protect their own sovereignty and the interests of the State as a whole. Weak States allow the Federal Government to run over them and their people.
Rob Robinson you are so right! They know exactly what they are trying to do, we have been the ones too stupid to realize it. Just because their ideas/ideals are different than ours, doesn’t make them stupid. And yes, I believe they are also evil. We need to clean houses come election time and have term limts on the ballots to get rid of this 2 party dictatorship we’ve had for decades.
