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.

Don’t touch it. Just get rid of the swine who misinterpret it. Violently at this point.
Most Americans don’t even know what the 17 th Amendment is , but I bet they know what’s going on with the Kardashian’s
Keep your damn hand of it
Another way to get more money in the political pockets.
This would be a very bad policy. But Utah has not warmed to this amendment even back in 1913. Utah legislature rejected the amendment on February 26, 1913. No action on the amendment has been completed by: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, or Virginia. Could you imagine in today’s political circles the increased corruption.
