The GOP: The undo party. I just don't get it.
According to The Tribune, most Mormons don't see the LDS Church as a political heavyweight. Really?
They think tourism and hospitality sectors have more power. Really? So tourism and hospitality own the state Legislature to produce Utah's ridiculous liquor laws?
That makes sense to you people?
The same people think the Utah political delegation actually represents them in Washington.
Again, really? Sen. Orrin Hatch thinks everyone on the Affordable Care Act is a freeloader. I'm on it and I am not a freeloader.
Hatch and his pals think that constituents don't need protection from pre-existing conditions.
My wife had breast cancer a few years ago and could easily be uninsurable. Hatch and the others certainly don't represent me and my wife.
Call your state senators, tell them how you feel.
Really? Why would they listen. The people who believe the LDS Church is just a poor start-up religion and that they are being represented in Washington will simply vote them back into office next voting cycle.
Hatch is just an old man who can't let go. He certainly isn't representing the state of Utah.
Signed: One falsely accused freeloader.
Who is the real freeloader, Sen. Hatch?
Tom Ridge
Layton
