Utah's Republic

Senator Hatch comes across as rather pompous. He also doesn't score points by saying that the 17th amendment was an improvement. I thought it was rather sad that he thanked Sen. Stephenson for saying that his wife and children had to sacrifice much (and were basically raised without a father.)

Unlike Hatch, we know that Bennett was out of touch with the rest of us here in Utah. He can't see it because he is out of touch too. I have personally been told, on a call to Orrin Hatch's office last year, that “[I] don't understand the issues involved, and that Senator Hatch understands everything involved.” I was calling to voice my feelings about the issues– which is my right– and I was basically told to shut up and sit down because Hatch will do what is best for us, whether we agree with it or not. I was spoken to rudely, and I suppose that I wasn't the first call they had received that day. Hatch and Orrin are apart of the “Washington Problem”. We the people know it– Hatch is too blind to see it.

I disagree with him. We DO need to go back to where the Senators represent the states. I do not like what Hatch has to say.

We need to repeal the 17th amendment!, and make our Senators beholden to our State Legislators.
