Dear Orrin:
All of us who have worked with you over the years owe you a great debt of gratitude for your consistent dedication to fiscal responsibility and to the interests of taxpayers in Utah and all across this great land.
You were one who recognized, from your first day of service in the United States Senate, the need for constitutional fiscal discipline in the form of a spending limitation/balanced budget amendment. It needs to pass, and whether it happens in this Congress or after the addition of new Republican Members in 2012, we are confident that your leadership will be critical in getting this amendment to the states for ratification.
On tax and spending policy your record is extremely solid, one of the best in the Senate. You have led the fight to kill the hated death tax, to repeal the unfair AMT and to reduce taxes generally so that small businesses and families have the resources to prosper and support the community and charitable causes of their choice. And your corporate tax and international trade policies will keep jobs in the United States.
Should Republicans win back the Senate in 2012, and you become Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, we are confident that you will use that committee to secure the most conservative reforms of the Nation’s tax and spending policies in a generation. Your understanding of the need for fundamental tax reform, the repeal of ObamaCare and reforms of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, make us confident that with you at the helm of the Finance Committee our future will be one of freedom, economic growth and a restoration of limited government.
Thank you for what you have done –and will continue to do – for America.
Sincerely,
Lew Uhler

Orrin Hatch is all about big Government. He’s voted for 17 debt ceiling increases. He co-Sponsored the DREAM ACT and didn’t even vote for it. He hasn’t the backbone to stick with anything- can’t be trusted. Just like this PIPA piracy scandal- when it looks bad to the public he pulls out.
Ef, as I informed Charles, I see nhorewe in the linked article where Sen. Hatch provided Rasor Technologies with a dime of taxpayer dollars. The $33 Million they received was in a grant from Treasury Department, an organization that falls under the Federal Executive Branch of government, not the Legislative Branch. If there is any blame to be had here, it falls at President Obama’s doorstep, not Senator Hatch’s.You’d think Charles would have known that, but I guess he was blinded by an opportunity to smear a Republican. Liberal Intolerance , Bob.
NTLC’s glowing endorsement of Orrin Hatch’s re-election effort is inexplicable.
As Milton Freedom taught us, the tax burden of government is the amount of government spending. On that measure Hatch is demonstrably lacking.
I am disappointed in Lew Uhler and NTLC and all the other organizations that have signed on to keeping in office a charter member of the Permanent Ruling Class.

They were the party in majority, which osopped slavery.It may have just been competing interests or self-interest; but, the fact remains, that slavery was abolished, and women’s rights were secured through granting of the right to vote. Without the ability to divine intent and therefore being unable to properly judge the individuals involved, we must decide anyway that the results were highly desirable for blacks and all people who experienced involuntary exploitation, and for women whose equality was previously marginalized.
thanks for share!
he never steered money the mnapcoy’s way? How is Hatch lying if the mnapcoy unsuccessfully sought DOE loan guarantees on it’s own? Sounds like in this case, the DOE did it’s job correctly in denying loan guarantees to the financially troubled mnapcoy. Maybe if Raser Technologies had only been Obama contributors, they could have scored some of that sweet sweet DOE loan guarantee money like Solyndra. That IS how it’s done with this administration. It’s the Chicago way.The only thing screamingly unclear is your post. Just what is Hatch guilty of doing here? Offering verbal support for a Utah mnapcoy? Just who does he think he is, an elected representative of the State of Utah, or something?
Repeal Obamacare? I’ve got a better idea. Lets repeal Orrin Hatch instead.
