Questionnaire responses from Orrin Hatch
1. In general, what are the two major issues facing the United States and your specific House district today, and how would you address them?
Since the national and state economies are doing so well, the two major issues facing us now are winning the war on Terror and curbing illegal immigration. This war is unlike any we have ever faced, and we must engage the enemy on our terms, not theirs. That means fighting them abroad, challenging those regimes who support them, blocking their financing, and doing everything we can to secure our homeland from attack. For a short summary on immigration, see question 8.
2. Would you over the next two years in office ever vote for a tax increase? Yes. No. Explain.
We see this growth particularly at home in Utah. Economic growth in Utah is strong in every region and sector of the state and unemployment is 3.4 percent almost a record low.
3. Before the United States invaded Iraq, did you favor or oppose the U.S. taking new military action in the country?
Favor. In deciding whether to use military force in Iraq, I agreed with the administration's determination that: first, this was a regime in violation of international law, including the cease-fire terms of the first Gulf War; second, the regime had long-standing ties to international terrorism; third, the regime had refused to account for the whereabouts of its claimed large quantities of weapons of mass destruction. None of these facts has been refuted.
4. In your opinion, what should the U.S. do now in the Iraqi war? (Please be specific: Should we withdraw immediately, set a timeline for withdrawal, stay the course as President Bush advocates?)
