You clearly stated exactly why the Founding Fathers first struggled with Senate selection and why they decided the sovereign States should have the power to select the Senators, who's job it was to look out for the rights of their state.The Progressives that gave us the income tax, the IRS and private Federal Reserve Bank to create money from thin air, eventually backed with nothing, at interest knew that the best way to shift power to the central government and destroy the 10th Amendment was to make Senators into a smaller-body of Congressmen, thereby eliminating the sovereign State at the Federal legislative table.Seeing the initial results of your poll is exciting, since it suggests an awareness of the people on this forum just how evil and destructive to the Federation the 17th Amendment really is. Like anti-freeze tastes sweet to puppies, the idea of a selecting Senators by popular election sounds great...power to the people...when the sweet coating merely masks the bitter poison hidden within.Thank you for your insightful poll.</blockquote>
