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.

LOL…It already WAS CHANGED!! Back in 1913!! This is saying they want to return it to it’s ORIGINAL form…..that is what “repeal” means. It will give the control BACK to the people and state…and take it away from the federal government. Our devious government amended the constitution in 1913 WITH the 17th amendment!! IT WAS ADDED!! DUH….and it gave away our control to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! It would benefit the people of ALL political sides to regain that control….where our for-fathers intended it to be all along. This neither a conservative nor liberal issue. It is about giving ALL PEOPLE back the control that we need over our states and senators.
