James Mooney’s Tribute to
Senator Orrin Hatch, Utah Senator

Senator Orrin Hatch, in my mind, was and will remain so to my dying day as one of the most courageous politicians I have personally experienced in the 78 years I have existed in this body of mine.

He followed the premier ethic that I was raised with, a man is only as good as his word. He was not only a man of his word he was loyal and never forgot that he was a representative of ‘all’ of his state of Utah constituent’s rather he agreed with them or not. A wonderful husband, father and patriarch of his family.

His dedication in representing the state of Utah citizenship honorably was unmovable. However he had a line he would not cross and that was concerning integrity in abiding by the ‘principles’ of his LDS Faith, and I am not referring to the cult and hate the government promoting parts of the LDS Church membership. I mean the principle based on “love thy brother as thyself”.

Senator Orrin Hatch exemplified everything that is good about being a man…

It is only fitting that the man that replaced the Honorable Senator Orrin Hatch in Utah’s Senate seat is the honorable Senator Mitt Romney.
