Our Constitutional Republic was converted into a Corporate Democracy gradually over many generations, but the final nail in the coffin came with the ratification of the 17th Amendment. The Founding Fathers knew that in order for Congress to function properly the voice of both the people and the states must be heard. The Constitution created the House of Representatives to be the House of the people and the Senate to be the House of the states.
It was the representatives of the states who wrote and ratified the Constitution. Banishing the representation of the states in the senate would be like the employees of a company voting to fire its owner.
When the 17th Amendment was fraudulently ratified under Thomas Woodrow Wilson in 1913 the balance of power between the states and the national government was lost. The states no longer had the ability to control their representation in congress and prevent the House of Representatives from passing unconstitutional legislation.
The direct election of the senators gave the people a monopoly on legislative power and gave the President the ability to politically control both Houses.
As of January in 2011 there were 27 states that had filed suit in Federal Court maintaining that the implementation of ObamaCare was unconstitutional. If the 54 senators representing those states would have voted in opposition to Obama Care the legislation would never have reached the President's desk for his signature.
When the senate is able to truly represent the states' desires and vote on the Constitutionality of legislation passed by the House of Representatives and the House is able to vote on the Constitutionality of legislation introduced in the senate, the arbiter of the Constitution are the representatives of the people and the states and not nine lawyers appointed by the President.
When the representatives in both the House and the Senate are elected directly by the people there is no way to prevent the political tyranny of the majority. For the legislative branch of government to function as it was intended the 17th Amendment must to be repealed.

Absolutely correct.
I don't know that it makes much difference whether the special interest buy the public in statewide elections or first buy reps in local elections. I guess it's a little more wholesale for them to do it via the 17th Amendment route.
Well not necessarily so! You see the real union of States of America was suspended in 1861 when the southern states walked out of Congress "sine die" or "without a day". What happened after that is the Reconstruction Acts 1 and II.
Congress has not lawfully re-assembled to re-convene the union.
BUT... we have the RECORD and that is almost finished with the Judgement and Order to claim the vacant offices under the union and the Republic!
WOW and WOW!
Lets deal with Obama Care, it's an International Agreement.
Freedom not to participate
On September 7, 1916, Congress passed the Public Health Service Act, [Public Law 410] 58 Stat. 682(pertinent part reproduced below). The very title was designed to deceive, it had nothing to do with the public, and it was an *elective form of insurance. The reason no one is required to participate in the Health Care Act, as stated in section 1555, is simply the Act amends the Public Health Service Act, the original law was not repealed, so any amendment would also have to be voluntary.
Section 1001 (pertinent part reproduced below), clearly states the PPACA is an amendment to the Public Health Service Act, for the most part, it’s an International Agreement for Foreigners, and government owned corporation employers.

I. Background Back to Top
Subtitles A and C of title I of the Affordable Care Act amend the requirements of title XXVII of the PHS Act (changes to which are incorporated into ERISA section 715). The preemption provisions of ERISA section 731 and PHS Act section 2724 [2] (implemented in 29 CFR 2590.731(a) and 45 CFR 146.143(a)) apply so that the requirements of part 7 of ERISA and title XXVII of the PHS Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act, are not to be “construed to supersede any provision of State law which establishes, implements, or continues in effect any standard or requirement solely relating to health insurance issuers in connection with group or individual health insurance coverage except to the extent that such standard or requirement prevents the application of a requirement” of the Affordable Care Act. Accordingly, State laws that impose on health insurance issuers requirements that are stricter than the requirements imposed by the Affordable Care Act will not be superseded by the Affordable Care Act.

OBAMACARE AMENDS THE NON EXISTENT TITLE 42 PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE LAW
POSITIVE LAW CODIFICATION
http://uscode.house.gov/codification/legislation.shtml
Positive law codification by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel is the process of preparing and enacting a codification bill to restate existing law as a positive law title of the United States Code. The restatement conforms to the policy, intent, and purpose of Congress in the original enactments, but the organizational structure of the law is improved, obsolete provisions are eliminated, ambiguous provisions are clarified, inconsistent provisions are resolved, and technical errors are corrected.
The Term "Positive Law"
The term "positive law'' has a long-established meaning in legal philosophy but has a narrower meaning when referring to titles of the Code. More
Positive Law Titles vs. Non-Positive Law Titles
The Code is divided into titles according to subject matter. Some are called positive law titles and the rest are called non-positive law titles.
THERE IS NO PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE LAW, AMENDED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT!
A positive law title of the Code is itself a Federal statute. A non-positive law title of the Code is an editorial compilation of Federal statutes. For example, Title 10, Armed Forces, is a positive law title because the title itself has been enacted by Congress. For the enacting provision of Title 10, see first section of the Act of August 10, 1956, ch. 1041 (70A Stat. 1).
* By contrast, Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, is a non-positive law title. Title 42 is comprised of many individually enacted Federal statutes––such as the Public Health Service Act and the Social Security Act––that have been *editorially compiled and organized into the title, but the title itself has not been enacted.
The distinction is legally significant. Non-positive law titles are prima facie evidence of the law, but positive law titles constitute legal evidence of the law in all Federal and State courts (1 U.S.C. 204).
Having, on one hand, non-positive law titles as prima facie evidence of the law, and on the other hand, positive law titles as legal evidence of the law, means that both types of titles contain statutory text that can be presented to a Federal or State court as evidence of the wording of the law. The difference between "prima facie" and "legal" is a matter of authoritativeness.
Statutory text appearing in a non-positive law title may be rebutted by showing that the wording in the underlying statute is different. Typically, statutory text appearing in the Statutes at Large is presented as proof of the words in the underlying statute. The text of the law appearing in the Statutes at Large prevails over the text of the law appearing in a non-positive law title.
Statutory text appearing in a positive law title is the text of the statute and is presumably identical to the statutory text appearing in the Statutes at Large. Because a positive law title is enacted as a whole by Congress, and the original enactments are repealed, statutory text appearing in a positive law title has Congress's "authoritative imprimatur" with respect to the wording of the statute. See Washington-Dulles Transp., Ltd. v. Metro. Wash. Airports Auth., 263 F.3d 371, 378 n.2 (4th Cir. Va. 2001); see generally Norman J. Singer & J.D. Shamble Singer, Statutes and Statutory Construction, § 36A.10, (7th ed. 2009). Recourse to other sources such as the Statutes at Large is unnecessary when proving the wording of the statute unless proving an unlikely technical error in the publication process.
Non-positive law titles and positive law titles both contain laws, but the two types of titles result from different processes. A non-positive law title contains numerous separately enacted statutes that have been editorially arranged into the title by the editors of the Code. The organization, structure, and designations in the non-positive law title necessarily differ from those of the incorporated statutes, and there are certain technical, although non-substantive, changes made to the text for purposes of inclusion in the Code. A positive law title is basically one law enacted by Congress in the form of a title of the Code. The organization, structure, designations, and text are exactly as enacted by Congress. In the case of a positive law title prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, the title is enacted as a restatement of existing statutes that were previously contained in one or more of the non-positive law titles. In such a restatement, the meaning and effect of the laws remain unchanged; only the text is repealed and restated. In preparing a codification bill, the Office uses the utmost caution to ensure that the restatement conforms to the understood policy, intent, and purpose of Congress in the original enactments.
