Tea Party ‘Super PAC’ Going After Sen. Orrin Hatch
2012 Elections Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
By Josh Israel, NJToday.net
An outside spending group affiliated with the conservative Tea Party movement is targeting long-time Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch in 2012 for not being conservative enough.
FreedomWorks for America is a so-called “super PAC,” meaning it can accept unlimited donations from corporations, individuals and labor unions and spend the funds on advertising and other expenditures aimed at electing or defeating a candidate.
On Tuesday, the group reported to the Federal Election Commission that it spent more than $43,000 on expenditures to oppose Hatch, including payments to a Utah communications firm for research, a D.C.-based polling firm, an Oregon-based yard sign manufacturer and a North Carolina online services company.
The group is affiliated with the conservative FreedomWorks 501(c4) nonprofit group, which also spends money on campaign advertising, but is not required to reveal its donors.
Ryan Hecker, a spokesman for the super PAC, told iWatch News the group opposes what it calls Hatch’s support for increased federal government spending and support of the Department of Education and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The organization is required to reveal its donors, but is too new to file a report. The super PAC launched in September and promised a grass roots approach to organizing rather than a massive ad buy.

Oust that RINO !
I hope Utah retires career politician Orrin Hatch and let’s him go back to Utah. He wants to be Utah’s version of Strom Thurmond and die on the Senate floor. I hope the folks in Utah realize his voting record before they let this happen though…I mean the guy voted for TARP, Medicare Part D, the Dream ACT, the Bridge to no where, 16 debt ceiling increases…and that’s just the start.. check out http://www.dethronehatch.com I couldn’t believe this guys record.
Dude Orrin Hatch is not Ron Paul- so he has to go. He now wished he hadn’t voted for TARP- what an epic fail- this is because of all the pressure he’s getting now about not being a true conservative. He can’t be trusted. http://www.dethronehatch.com/ has some cool stuff- this guy’s just been in far to long, and we need a real freedom fighter- someone like Ron Paul- to help bring freedom back to Utah and America
Anyone that voted for Medicare and SCHIP, the dream Act, and represents Utahns- needs to repent.
