To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Repeal the 17th Amendment
This Amendment repeals the 17th Amendment to the United States Constitution and returns the Senators to being representatives of the States and selected by the States the same as before the 17th Amendment.
Why is this important?
Whereas, the Founding Fathers created a Congress with a House of Representatives to represent the people and a Senate to represent the States, the States now have no representation in the Federal Government and the they are being forced to bear burdens for which they have no representation, it is therefore necessary to restore the Senators as representatives of the States.
Whereas, the 17th Amendment was added to the constitution in 1913, in 1917, which is the four years necessary for a majority of the Senators to no longer be representatives of the States, they voted for President Wilson to turn a European war into World War I by allowing him to declare war on Germany. This and the other Wars encouraged by the Senate is more than enough justification to show the need for repealing the 17th Amendment.
