Wouldn't it be really awesome if everyone who isn't a Georgian got the hell out of Georgia and let the people of Georgia decide who should be the Senators from Georgia to represent the interests of Georgia and Georgians?
And while we're at it how about an amendment to the Constitution limiting campaign donations for federal offices, both monetary and in-kind, to only coming from those human individuals who are direct constituents of the candidates - meaning physical legal residents of the state a given candidate is running for? Trans-national conglomerates can keep their cash and advertising in the vaults. The George Soros and Koch Brothers contributers of the world would be more than welcome to blow all the money they want on candidates in their state of legal residence, but would need to keep their noses and their money out of other states. My Senators and My Representatives should not be determined by the capacity of Bloombergs, Waltons, Apples, and Microsofts to flood the airwaves and buy public opinion.
An amendment would short circuit your immediate whining about "free speech". Free Speech is anything but when wholly owned by billionaire individuals and corporations, so what you think such an amendment would be taking away from you has in fact already been lost.
