Update from Senator Hatch

This week, my efforts to rein in the out of control spending in Washington and to repeal the central pillars of ObamaCare gained two big endorsements.

On Tuesday, the American Conservative Union offered their full-fledged support of the Balanced Budget Amendment that I’m introducing to get our nation’s fiscal house in order:

“The American Conservative Union is pleased to endorse your proposed Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. ACU has long supported an amendment of this kind and the lack of one has led to unrestrained growth in federal spending and a growth in the national debt that threatens the economic security of our country.”

My amendment already has gained the support of eight senators, including Jim DeMint, and I expect more to join the fight this coming week.

Then, on Thursday, Americans For Tax Reform joined a growing coalition of organizations supporting my bills to repeal ObamaCare’s unconstitutional individual mandate and its job-killing employer mandate:

“ATR (and Senator Hatch) support a full repeal of the Obamacare law. But ATR is willing to repeal the law in pieces if it cannot be repealed all at once. The employer and individual mandates were not only bad public policy — they were two of the two dozen new or higher taxes in Obamacare.”

I hope I can count on your support in the coming days and months to help pass these important initiatives.

Sincerely,

Orrin Hatch
