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.

Good start!
DON’T LET THE MEDIA DIVERT THE ATTENTION OFF OF CROOKED HILLARY
It’s kind of fishy how all of a sudden we have all these tragic shootings the same time when Hillary Clinton scandals are blasted all over the news. Have a bad feeling that the crooked globalist Elites have there dirty hands involved. Trying to get the focus off crooked Hillary. Scary that they would go that far.
I say get rid of the Senate and Congress. Both one sided working for and paid by the elites.
I agree. Read the amendment here on sight. Must repeal.
Putting in an amendment requires the same process as adding or changing or deleting any amendment of the constitution. Congress nor courts can enact any changes to the US Constitution.
this the real problem with the Senate aand why they do not give the propper votes for their states and just for special interests, we nee our state Legis. to appoint our senators the way it was when we became a nation this is why we need a convention of the states
okay, sorry, then they need to leave it alone
One smart move!!
No they should be elected by the people , not giving up my right to elect the people who will make the laws of this country
The congress and the senate don’t give a rats$#%&!@*about how we feel or haven’t any of you noticed this.. the reps for states should come to their state and find out how the people fell and what they need.. and not steal all our hard earned money for not doing their fucking jobs.. they all need to be fired.
