Thank you for your comment Bill. Your statements are spot on! There are so few people who actually understand how much the 17th Amendment has hurt this republic; so I am glad that you brought it up. I hope to be discussing that very topic quite often here. Yes, there are ways to repeal it and also insure that the Senators are actually doing what they are supposed to be doing; REPRESENTING THEIR STATES. Education is important as well; not just math, science and the like but a comprehensive thorough schooling and understanding of our founding principles. These principles are the ones that helped America become great…through these principles we produced the best scientists, scholars and inventors in the world. Some people say that the rest of the world is catching up but what is actually happening is that the United States of America is becoming average or worse.

So True Dan. People have forgotten that concept. We have also been fooled into believing that our vote does not count when in fact it does. It takes a lot more that just sitting around being angry, it takes action. People can join as Precinct Committeemen and canvas their neighborhoods with positive information, offer people rides to the voting booths etc. There are so many ways to get involved. Thanks for your taking the time to visit and make a comment.

Thanks for visiting Dear Liberty Ilene! I am counting on more than just me having the courage to stand up! I hope that we can all work together and inspire courage in each other and rise up to make a difference. It’s going to take everyone to come forward and decide that they have had enough. Let everyone know about our mission here so we can get everyone involved.

Mr. McKee, what a great message to deliver! You have tapped into the primary reasons we, as a nation, are declining as a beacon of liberty worldwide, namely a misguided education system, the erosion of States’ rights, and Progressivism. A return to the original intent of the principles as defined by the Founding Fathers is essential. From a legislative standpoint, repeal of the 17th Amendment is absolutely required, but the repeal amendment cannot simply undo it. It must be written in such a way as to eliminate or minimize the problems that preceded it, such as corruption and long periods of time without U.S. Senate seats being filled. The citizenry need to understand that our Federal Government is a confederation of States and not a steward of them. Thanks for taking the initiative that we so desperately need.

Servants can serve without leading but leaders cannot lead without serving. We need to remember the members of government were called to represent us. We are suppose to be in charge. We have been trained over time that we need to listen to them and do what they say. We need to stop saying that we are angry and show them by voting them out. We live in a era when it is not a time to call for arms, but for legs. We need to stand our ground and say that we have had enough. I am looking forward to more great insights by Doug and others.

Thank goodness you have the guts to stand up and say what is really happening and what needs to be done to correct the problem.
There is so much garbage going on in Washington at this time, they are appointing people who have criminal backgrounds, owe the IRS and have no business doing the jobs that they are hired to do.
Every time the president appoints another thug or signs into “law” there seems to be a new scandal on the horizon, like Paula Dean, or some other innocent person being persecuted for trumped up charges. It has got to stop!!!
Thanks for being there!!!!!
