Trump is for term limits but look at the resistance he is meeting on bi-partisan issues. do you think these senators will vote themselves out of a job.
a national referendum is need to the question of term limits and/or repealing the 17th Amendment

Repealing the 17th Amendment is, as it says, a Constitutional Amendment, which can be done in one of 2 ways:
1) "Article 5": States call a Constitutional Convention ("Con Con"); draft and then go back to States and ratify; or
2) Congress drafts the amendment and states ratify (I think); don't expect Congress to turn Senate elections back over to the states. More possible through Con Con.
Start knocking on those doors and making those phone calls...
