recommend the repeal of the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The 17th Amendment to the United States Constitution has done more to harm the 50 states than any other legislation or amendment to date.
The Seventeenth Amendment (Amendment XVII) to the United States Constitution established direct election of United States Senators by popular vote. Thereby, effectively removing the 50 States representation as originally designed in the Constitution. The amendment supersedes Article I, § 3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution, under which senators were elected by state legislatures.
The Senate was designed to have ebbs and flows as each state goes through their own cycles of political discourse and change. That's why Senators terms are 6 years. Effectively, as a state changes there is a natural term limit for Senators. This must be addresses.
