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.
Read a history of the 17th Amendment and why Utah has made such a bold call to action on the following page.
Bob Corker only wants what’s best for the American People or is it what’s best for the Iranian people that have deposited hundreds of millions of dollars in First Tennessee Bank? “You know the ones with the “Shell gas stations” and the “Subway Sandwich shops.”
Bob Corker sided with Obama on the Iranian nuclear deal! Bob Corker sided with Obama for more restrictions on our gun rights! Islam is now taught in Tennessee public schools where Christian prayer is considered offensive!
If you want to make America great again “JUST SAY NO TO BOB CORKER” and anyone else who is trying to disarm American citizens while giving aide to the enemies of the USA !
I don’t want anyone messing with the Constitution. It opens doors.
Amendments 1 – 10 are a part of the Foundation of our Constitution. Every Amendment after that was added or revised based on social engineering. If the Good People mess with any of the first 10, then this Country doesn’t deserve to be called the “United States of America”.
No!!!!
The constitution shall not be altered
You anyone
Especially Obama!!!!!
Are you drunk or just stupid
I hope trump dont deport ya
I can support that!! Senators were meant to support the states directly! So they were elected by state legislators!
Congressmen were elected by the citizens of their states.
I’m an American you stupid son of$#%&!@*Only a douche bag liberal
Would judge how someone looks
You have to go back five generations
To find a$#%&!@*in my family
A family that proudly served this country since WWII
I myself served as a Marine
You wouldn’t dare say what you said to my face
Because useless liberals like yourself
Don’t have the balls
So what the Utah Senate is saying is that the will of the elected officials should supersede the will of the people who elected them? In no way, shape, or form was that the intent of our founding fathers!
You are not repealing any amendment. Its not up FD or discussion it was written written to keep jackass’s like you from telling any of us what to do.
