The federal government spends a lot of time squabbling, trying to find solutions that fit the entire country. Is it any wonder?

Different states have very different needs and wants. If we restored relevance to state government the process would be much better for all.

Repeal of the 14th Amendment is a good step toward this goal, helping us all get government we want and need.

Formerly, Senators received guidance from state legislatures who appointed them. The 17th cut the State of TX out of the shell of federalism. If the State of CA felt that Senator Binotz wasn’t conveying the sense of the State to the Fed he was recalled. Now the Senate works for the voters and are doing the job of the House. Write your state .gov, urge them to closely convey the sense of the State.

Returning to the original intent of appointment of senators by the state legislatures would eliminate the constant begging for money, time campaigning and the corrupting influence of lobbyists and their money. It would help return some power back to the states.

RESTORE THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS. This would eliminate senators running for office and the pressure to obtain funds and the influence of national lobbyists.
State legislatures are closer to their constituents than the current senators and more likely to listen to their constituents. They in turn would have more influence on their senators than the powerful national lobbies now have because of their ability to raise money for the senators from outside of their states.

I had no idea there were this many reactionaries left in the United States. This guy wants US senators chosen by state legislatures. Regressive. He hates his own freedom. We need to continue delivering power to the people and eliminate the electoral college, not to regress to the days of slavery. The next proposal will be to recognize some subset of Americans as 3/5’s of a person.
