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.

Are you really a idiot or are you just acting like one on Facebook
Utah people need to shut their senate down now before they go any farther
Idoit
Why not, sounds like a better plan that what we have now. Make them come back and get the people of their state’s feed back.
Not hide in DC and listen to lobbyist all the time. Make them start listening to “We the People”.
Or you’re a libertarian because you refuse to eat the sh** sandwich they are trying to ram down you’re throat.
You start repealing amendments then they will want to repeal the first and second ones. Be careful what you wish for.

Leave it alone. It is there for a reason.
Oh yes, and it would not stop there. A lot of the Progressive/Liberal/Dems would like to TRASH our whole CONSTITUTION.
not sure about this, it would stop senators being elected by people and would let them appoint each other? how is that a good thing?
