Repealing the Income Tax Amendment is the only thing that would rein in the federal government more than repealing the XVII Amendment. The states must take back the Senate if they ever hope to take back their country from federal government elitists. Never forget that the federal government declared war on the American people. State legislatures represent the last barrier standing between the federal government and the American people.
The federal government’s power is centered in long serving senators like Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Patrick Leahy, and others of their ilk. That includes some Republicans, too. Collectively, they do more harm to this country than all of America’s foreign enemies combined. Individually, the foulest piece of long serving garbage of them all —— Ted Kennedy (1932 - 2009) —— turned almost all of his destructive hatred into legislation. Had that viscous drunk lived longer he would have gotten it all. Not even FDR came close to Kennedy when it came to implementing his personal view of how the world should behave.
For all practical purposes the Founding Fathers effectively placed term limits on senators. Many Americas today see term limits as a solution to corruption, the exact opposite of the XVII Amendment. Very few calling for term limits on everything seem to realize that repealing the XVII Amendment is the most effective way to place term limits on US Senators. Aside from running into the XVII Amendment individual states placing term limits on their senators will not work.
Media moguls
A great piece by Tony Blankley in 2010 reminded me that print media mogul William Randolph Hearst contributed much to the XVII Amendment:
William Randolph Hearst was a conservative. Exposing corruption in government is a proper rule for a newspaper. Support for the XVII Amendment was a mistake. Mr. Blankley correctly cited the corruption that led to XVII Amendment in the first place. No one can deny that the crooks are wealthier today thanks to the tax on income, and they’ve been joined by traitors.
Hearst could not see television’s media moguls coming. Nor could he guess that television would support and protect the treason done by long serving senators. Media paymasters would fight to the death before they would allow the XVII Amendment to be repealed. Proof: It is the media that issues diplomas for serving in the Senate. Before very long nobody will go to the White House without that diploma. It was the media that guaranteed a sitting senator would become president in 2008. It mattered not which party he or she came from. And, as I’ve been saying since 2009, Taqiyya the Liar’s administration is a Senate administration.
The NEVER RATIFIED XVII AMENDMENT changed everything for the worse. Today’s Americans are still being punished for lies that were told over a century ago —— 1913 the worst year in the nation’s history. Conversely, 1913 was the best year progressives ever had. Nineteen thirteen gave the country Woodrow Wilson, the XVI Amendment, the XVII Amendment and the Federal Reserve for starters.
At last there is a ray of hope:
“. . . a ‘first blush’ lawsuit, meaning the first of its kind in either state or federal court to my knowledge,” she said.
She predicts the likely next governor of Texas, Attorney General Greg Abbott, will defend Secretary of State Nandita Berry and try to dismiss the lawsuit by arguing Kidd has no standing.
Arguing for the illegitimacy of the 17th Amendment, she said Alabama “ratified” it in 2002, nearly 90 years after the fact. Delaware took the same action in 2010, 97 years late.
She said Maryland ratified the 17th Amendment as recently as 2012.
“Either we are a nation of laws or we are a nation of lies. We can’t be both and survive as anyone can see watching our beloved republic disintegrate,” she said. “One thing I dearly hope this lawsuit will do is educate our fellow Americans on why that amendment must be stricken from the books.”
Embarrassing question: Why did Alabama, Delaware, and Maryland wait so long?
Finally, the ugly hand of the State Department set today’s State Department in motion as far as 1913:
Take a good look at the filthy UN-loving traitors who have been secretaries of state in recent decades and you cannot miss a long treasonous agenda coming to fruition under the foulest traitor of all —— John Kerry. I usually begin with Madeleine Albright but United Nations loyalists probably predate her. It is illogical to think that an occasional traitor slipped through the cracks. More than likely an America-loving secretary of state is the anomaly.

Media moguls
A great piece by Tony Blankley in 2010 reminded me that print media mogul William Randolph Hearst contributed much to the XVII Amendment:
At first blush, this might seem counterintuitive, as the 17th Amendment was brought about by a populist movement supercharged by muckraking articles in the newspapers of William Randolph Hearst. Those articles exposed corporate bribery of state legislators to control senatorial votes. As the direct election of senators by the people was a reaction to the corrupt lobbying of state legislatures that so aggrieved late-19th-century Americans, it might seem odd to recommend its repeal now -- when again, corrupt lobbying and the aggrandizing of excessive government power over the people is part of the fuel that is driving the tea parties. It certainly seems particularly odd for me to suggest this just a week after the election of Scott Brown to the Senate by an aggrieved public that has just overwhelmed with their individual votes the Boston Democratic machine.
But in my defense, let me initially note that the 17th amendment has not yet ended the legal but appalling bribery of U.S. senators -- it has merely moved it to Washington. Senators today succumb far too often to such influence -- whether from the White House, the leaders of the Senate or national lobbying forces. Moreover, it has been since 1913, when the 17th Amendment was enacted into law, that the 10th Amendment increasingly began to be ignored.

Now a new lawsuit contends states can regain their authority by returning to the practice of having state legislatures elect U.S. senators, as the Constitution originally required.
The case is being brought by author, columnist, commentator and activist Devvy Kidd.
Over the years, I’ve posted many messages about Devvy Kidd and her struggle to overturn the never-ratified XVI and XVII Amendments. Her lawsuit is definitely:The case is being brought by author, columnist, commentator and activist Devvy Kidd.

Finally, the ugly hand of the State Department set today’s State Department in motion as far as 1913:
The 17th Amendment was introduced in 1911 and sent to “all 48 states” in 1912 for ratification. According the complaint, the complaint recounts.
The next year, the Department of State announced: “The department has received information that 36 states have taken action purporting to ratify the amendment by Congress and no official information has been received from any state to the effect that the legislature of that state has rejected said amendment.”
