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.

Hey dumbass, Congress can’t repeal any Amendments. The people have to do that.
how would it curb corruption?
Feel free to support Convention of States Project that wants to have a smaller presence on Washington DC and more of the business done at the level of State Government.
I have been screening this from the roof tops for years!!!
I know just how you feel but just slow down a little. Term limits for the House of Representatives. The founders made the Senate different. The way to fix it is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Before the 17th Senators were appointed by the states. They didn’t need to sell their souls to get elected so part of their job was to ferrite out corruption. Also long term senators helped to balance states that have lower populations.
Wrong. People routinely sold their soul to become a Senator under the original system. Just to a different group of people. The profound corruption of that process was the reason direct election was adopted. If you want to fix that, undo Citizens United.
Vote NO NOPE NEVER
Well said.
The Union obviously is not perfect. Can it ever be? I don’t know. Some simply can never be integrated nor assimilated. Shall we say that certain Americans are intrinsically and irremediably anti America!
