The direct election of senators has created the federal monster

By Louis Adimando

Ever wonder why the federal government does not respect the 10th Amendment? Because of the 17th Amendment. It changed our Republic forever by establishing the direct election of senators.

No longer were senators beholden to their state legislatures; no longer would the interests of the states have representation in our federal government.

Our choice and federal government

Mitt Romney in 2012 – Believe in America

Today we are poised for a great victory in November. The pundits and the pollsters tell us we can win this election. But we must tell the nation why we should win.

A tea party conservative’s defense of Ron Paul…and his supporters

I want to state at the outset that this essay is not intended to be an endorsement of Ron Paul.

I want to state at the outset that this essay is not intended to be an endorsement of Ron Paul. While I respect and admire many of his positions and his fidelity to the constitution, I have strong misgivings about some of his stances on national security.
