	Odin - The 17th of May (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The defensive watch-dog attitude which characterized the first 17th of May celebrations was superseded by a form of celebration characterized by a feeling of springlike optimism, by the joy of having a free constitutional government, by a people seeking to stress their own identity.
		The bitter conflicts which had marked the 17th of May celebrations in the 1920s and '30s were replaced after the war by a feeling of fellowship resembling that of the years around 1905.
		If the 17th of May celebrations in Norway are viewed in the long-term perspective, one is struck by the manner in which the annual celebrations have changed in character and content over the years.

		Troopers of the 17th massed near the York Road and delayed the Confederate pursuit by rapidly firing their single-shot carbines and answering the Rebel Yell with "a ringing loyal cheer." The enemy advance was sufficiently delayed so that the routed 11th Corps was able to reach safety on the hill.

	CNN.com - FindLaw Forum: Should the 17th Amendment be repealed? - September 17, 2002
		The remedy for this inconveniency is, to divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them by different modes of election, and different principles of action, as little connected with each other, as the nature of their common functions and their common dependencies on the society, will admit.
		But scholars make a convincing case that this conventional wisdom is wrong, and that instead, it was the 17th amendment (along with the 16th Amendment, which created federal income tax and was also adopted in 1913) that was the driving force behind federal expansion.
		He contends that the true backers of the 17th amendment were special interests, which had had great difficultly influencing the system when state legislatures controlled the Senate.

	Repeal 17th
		The 17th Amendment was passed because of a procedural problem in the original concept and not because of a need to alter the balance of power.
		Instead, the 17th Amendment should have fixed the procedural problems and left the balance of power between the states and the federal government intact.
		With that, the state governments should be focusing an effort to repeal the 17th Amendment, not on passing legislation or engaging in irrelevant activities, that are more than likely useless over the long term and probably also over the short.

	Todays 17th Page
		Today’s 17th realizes that soldiers were citizens who left their homes and families to support their government in the struggle to re-unite the country.
		Because of this link, and the fact that the 17th is a family oriented organization, participation by men, women, and children in the portrayal of civilian life is encouraged almost as much as participation by men to portray a Michigan infantryman is encouraged.
		Although the 17th does not want to over shadow the civilian aspects of the period with military events, you must be aware that the 17th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company E was a military unit, and a major purpose of today’s 17th is preserving that military heritage.
