We should have control of the GOP by next year, if early returns on the Precinct Project continue.

We won't support any candidate who isn't committed to a return to a Constitutional Republic and a limited Federal Gov't. I might even make supporting repeal of the 17th Amendment a pre-requisite.

Any thoughts on the 19th? 😁

I'm ok with the 19th, but want a Constitutional knowledge requirement for ALL voters. That's a tough sell, because there are good reasons why there's no litmus test for voting other citizenship.

Interestingly, when they've gamed out a Convention of States, the 17th is almost always the first one to go. 16th is next on the list.

Um... you might want to edit that as the 15th is the right to vote based on race, and I'm pretty sure you misremembered something.

16th is the income tax (agreed), while 17 is the direct election of senators (unsure on this one tbh).

Thanks for the correction. I am not opposed to the 15th in any way.

The 17th is indeed the direct election of Senators and it took power away from the States. That has to be overturned. Imagine Senators who cared about their Constituents instead of big corporate donors and special interest groups?

Amend it to only allow votes by the genders known as male and female (aka, the only two that really exist).
