Interestingly enough that the Fed (reserve) started 1913 as well.

[iFreedom4ever]

Yes, 1913 was a very bad year for freedom, peace and prosperity: the Fed Reserve, 17th amendment replaced, and the 16th amendment (Income Tax) added. Like Ron Paul says... we should repeal 1913.

[ronhelf]

The legislative appointment of senators has less to do with states rights than with elite politics. The "founding fathers" feared the rabble and wanted to keep the "higher" legislative body in the control of elites hence the appointment of senators. The dirty little secret here, if it is secret, is that the founding fathers were elitist and hardly democratic. The US began as an oligarchy and the 17th amendment hasn't changed that reality..

[GohModley]

if things were so great before 1913 then the amendments of 1913 would never have been ratified.

[RB1US]

Wait - what? He objects to his own election and yet accepts the result? This guy is hypocrisy on steroids!

[coliwood]

WOODROW WILSON!!!!!!!!!!

[skier137]

Shame on you for endorsing big-government liberal Romney over your friend's father, Dr. Ron Paul.

[Ephisus]

Plus, sherman antitrust became enforceable in 1911

[zaurakdigis]

BullShit!!!!!!!!!

[LWHeavenbound]

Heck the state governments don't support what the people want anymore than our congress does SO how in the thunder is taking the vote of the people away from the people MAKE things better? Term limit would be the only thing needing repeal NOT who votes for our congress or senates

[GunClingingPalin]

Nothing Less than these remedies will restore our Republic to it's prosperous state. We must choose our Representatives wisely in these matters. Sever the Arms, Legs & Head of this Tyrant that has crept in, & the rest will fall in place.

Severing the Arms & Legs should precede beheading the beast, so the economy may stabilize & the steady flow of goods & services amongst the states may not be frustrated by any destructive actions, by the Federal Reserve while anticipating it's severance.

[GunClingingPalin]

We need brave confident and competent congressmen that will dismember the Tyrant.. Sever the Arms, Legs, and Head.

Incumbents & Prospects for the House and Senate must pass these questions:

1. "Will you support and/or move to repeal the 16th & 17th amendments of the Constitution and cut off the arms of the Tyrant to restore property rights and state's rights?"

[GunClingingPalin]

2. "Will you cut off the Legs of the Tyrant by supporting and/or moving for amending the Constitution to define and/or remove the Commerce Clause and Necessary Clause, restoring Liberty to the people?

3. Will you sever the Head of the Tyrant by supporting and/or moving to abolish the Federal Reserve to restore sound money to the people?

If they can't support these remedies they need to be marked as weak and/or incompetents or as too cowardly to carry out what must be done to restore our Republic
