Art Hall's recent column needs to be read by everybody; the one where he said: "The states have to change Washington, because this dysfunctional Congress would never do it themselves. The states have powers they are not exercising. 38 states can amend the Constitution to get us back on track all by themselves; they don’t need Congress’ nor the president’s approval. Washington has totally forgotten that we are a union of states. It is past time that the states get off their hands and restore Washington to its proper, Constitutional role."
