| Francis Ehrhardt | jupiter, FL | November 15, 2008 | x |
| Diane Kissee | Mesa, AZ | November 5, 2008 | Thank you for standing up for us Jeff ! We need many more representatives like you in Congress. Many of us are going to be watching a lot more closely how our representatives are spending our tax dollars from now on. I highly support Jeff Flake for Appropriations. |
| Natalie Mentzer | Peoria, AZ | September 26, 2008 | Great job, Jeff! Keep up the great work. |
| Richard Oliver | Nanuet, NY | September 24, 2008 | Jeff Flake is one of the few members of the current lackluster Congress who actually seems to care about the American people! I heartily support his appointment to the Appropriations Committee. |
| William Taylor | Rio Rancho, NM | August 19, 2008 | The GOP was always known for fiscal conservatism. Get back to it, now! |
| David Teesdale | Knoxville, TN | August 1, 2008 | I support Jeff Flake for Appropriations. |
| s g | buford, GA | July 31, 2008 | thank you jeff for being what a politician should be. |
| Eric Komenda | Mesa, AZ | July 29, 2008 | Go get em Jeff! |
| Eugene Vinarskai | Chandler, AZ | July 15, 2008 | x |
| Michael Vander Sande | Indianapolis, IN | June 19, 2008 | If you were employed by any corporation anywhere you'd been fired by now. STOP, please, the waste, the lies, and fruitless spending. |
| Deb Dusseau | Kendallville, IN | June 18, 2008 | x |
| Brady Huthinson | Sherrills Ford, NC | June 8, 2008 | We are SICK and Tired of you arrogant people thinking you spend whatever you want. You are literally heading our country in the direction of a revolt. Boston tea Party ring a bell? Congressman Flake is the ONLY legislator with enough spine to stand up for what's right. What's wrong with you people? Get behind him! That's what W have hired you to do! |
| Harold Moyers | West Chester, PA | May 20, 2008 | Republicans are not losing because of Bush, nor the war. They are losing because they are acting like liberal Democrats. Stop spending, start drilling! |
| Allen Rogers | Vancouver, WA | May 19, 2008 | Earmarks are the sign of rot and corruption in our halls of Congress. When money and political favors can be handed out at will, with NO accountability, it perverts the open political process that is necessary for a republic to survive. I have been a Republican for 45 years, BUT if the big-government, overspending GOP does not change, I will start supporting another party that does adhere to conservative values. |
| Drag poje | Tucson, AZ | May 15, 2008 | I want all pork spending to end NOW. I have had it with the majority of you doing whatever you want with our money. The money should be used to bring down our deficiet, pay for senior meds, healh care, education and food for those in our country who are homeless and hungry. You all work for the people, not for yourselves. Better change your attitudes and do what the people want. LISSEN to the People |
| Elliott Lehem | Randallstown, MD | April 25, 2008 | x |
| Peggy Brittain | Masssillon, OH | April 2, 2008 | As a FORMER Republican voter, it is refreshing to see a congressman who believes in fiscal responsibility. Jeff Flake should be on the appropriations committee to make sure spending OUR tax dollars are protected. |
| Ken Miller | Lake Orion, MI | March 29, 2008 | x |
| JaLayne Grow | Bloomington, IL | March 5, 2008 | Jeff Flake is someone who has the best interests of the American taxpayer in mind. I think he would make an excellent addition to the Appropriations Committee. |
| Lillian Banks | Merritt Island, FL | February 25, 2008 | Please Republicans do something for the people for a change. L'm really fed up with most of your actions the last couple years. Jeff Flake is our kind of Republican so put him in this position and the rest of you follow his lead. Thank you. |

| Guy Mahaffey | Washington, DC | February 24, 2008 | x |
| Richard Green | San Clemente, CA | February 23, 2008 | Appointing Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee will send a clear message that Republicans are going to assert themselves as the best friend of the taxpayer. Right now, that's seriously in doubt. |
| Ryan Drager | columbia, CT | February 19, 2008 | As a former House Page, I know that Mr. Flake is one of the few that understands the true meaning of fiscal responsibility. |

| Ronald Heinis | Rapid City, SD | February 17, 2008 | The Republican party has left me. I won't be back until it returns to being conservative. Make it FLAKE. |
| John Mulhall | Cazenovia, NY | February 17, 2008 | x |
| Mike Kennedy | Alpharetta, GA | February 15, 2008 | I read my congressman the riot act for not supporting Pence for Leader when he had the chance. Boehner & Gang are just more of the same. $9,250,000,000,000 in debt and on our way to $53,000,000,000,000 before it's all over (and I mean ALL OVER). C'mon, Boehner, here's your chance to show if you have any cajones. My suspicion is -- not. |
| albert gerry | cherry hill, NJ | February 15, 2008 | If the RNC wants me back as a suporter of the party you will have to display some conservative movement,MAKE IT FLAKE would be a start. |
| Sean Ballinger | Hoover, AL | February 15, 2008 | MAKE IT FLAKE |
| Sean Ballinger | Hoover, AL | February 15, 2008 | MAKE IT FLAKE |

| Patrick Roberts | Mount Dora, FL | February 14, 2008 | x |
| Nicholas Contaxes | Ann Arbor, MI | February 14, 2008 | I was once a hard-core Republican, then a lukewarm one and finally moved to the Libertarian Party. I figure that anything else was wasting my vote. To quote one of our candidates "The Democrats tax and spend, the Republicans borrow and spend". In Jeff Flake I finally see someone who makes me feel differently. We need him and 20 more like him. |
| Marty Reiser | Bowling Green, KY | February 14, 2008 | Wow, this is going alot better than the internet tax petition! What ever happened to that? Did we hit a million yet? And where is the shark suit guy? |
| John Ellis | River Ridge, LA | February 14, 2008 | x |
| Bart McKay | Waco, TX | February 14, 2008 | x |
| John Parkinson | Flower Mound, TX | February 14, 2008 | Jeff Flake is exhibiting the proper approach to the problem of run away spending in Congress. His input to the Appropriations Committee is a good first step toward reassuring the conservatives in the United States that the Republicans are truly the party of responsible government. |
| Carol Vesier | Bear, DE | February 14, 2008 | In the past, Republicans have stood for fiscal responsibility. Today, after a 6 year uncontrolled spending spree under George Bush, Republicans look worse than the Democrats. We lost control of the House and Senate because of spending. Show the taxpayers you want to stop uncontrolled spending by appointing Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee |
| William Uhl | Latham, NY | February 13, 2008 | Please stop taking my money to buy your seat in congress. I support Jeff Flake to protect my wallet. |
| Jennifer Burk | Mesa, AZ | February 13, 2008 | Rep Jeff Flake is my representative and I know his record. He is tough on all unnecessary spending and would make a great leader in the appropriations committee. |
| D. Olsen | vancouver, WA | February 13, 2008 | Rep Flake deserves this appointment. He works harder than some, is relatively honest and often tells the truth. He's certainly a lot smarter than most of the GOP leadership. |
| David Sanabria | Tampa, FL | February 13, 2008 | Enough of the pork barrel spending. Spend the people's money wisely! Put Jeff Flake in. |
| Bonnie Beland | Hemet, CA | February 13, 2008 | Abolish earmarks. Let Jeff lead. |
| arthur lang | Littleton, CO | February 13, 2008 | This honey pot of earmarks available for all politicians to dip into with no accountability is completely out of hand. It is certain the democrats will never close the lid. If republicans do do not, who will? Flake can be a beginning toward ending this madness. |
| Mack Peterson | Mesa, AZ | February 13, 2008 | Giving this position to Jeff Flake is a chance to show that republicans really do care about fiscal discipline. |
| Linda Bradshaw | Mesa, AZ | February 13, 2008 | We're proud of Jeff Flake in Az and the great job he does representing us, unlike a certain senator running for President. I do have a large clothespin to wear on my nose when I vote in November because I love my country and fear what the Dems will do if they have the Presidency too...what a nightmare that would be. |
| Michael Brickman | Fox Point, WI | February 13, 2008 | x |
| Matthew Henry | Tampa, FL | February 13, 2008 | I will leave the Republican party if Flake doesn't get this position because it will show how little you care about actually imposing fiscal discipline on the government. |
| Judy Miller | Spencer, WV | February 13, 2008 | For more responsible government add Jeff Flake to Appropriations. |

| edgar dibble | plano, TX | February 13, 2008 | x |
| John Forsberg | Cooper City, FL | February 13, 2008 | Jeff Flake should not only be on the Appropriations Committee, he should BE the committee! |
| Jeff Williams | Laurel, MS | February 13, 2008 | I support Jeff Flake for the Appropriations Committee. |
| Steve Moore | Lexington, KY | February 13, 2008 | I strongly support having someone on the appropriations committee who vote end or at least severly curtail earmarks |
| Heidi Schulze | Bala Cynwyd, PA | February 13, 2008 | I support Jeff Flake for the Appropriations Committee. |
| Clyde Dotson | Lancaster, CA | February 13, 2008 | It is imperative that the Republican Party return to its roots. Those include, most especially, fiscal conservatism. |
| Vinton H. Jewell | Doylestown, OH | February 13, 2008 | I am sending email to my Representative Ralph Regula requesting that he support Jeff Flake for head of Appropriations Committee. It is time for our Representatives to stand strong for their constituents. |
| Mary Shoemaker | Apache Junction, AZ | February 13, 2008 | I support Jeff Flake for the Appropriations Committee. |
| Douglas Hayse | Tempe, AZ | February 13, 2008 | Rep. Flake will be a great choice for the House Appropriations Committee. This would a good first step in the right direction. |
| Michael and Nancy Guadagno | Ocean City, NJ | February 13, 2008 | We support Jeff Flake for the Appropriations Committee. |
| Richard White | Jacksonville Beach, FL | February 13, 2008 | It is time to simultaneously stop irresponsible government and the slide of the republican party to the left. The signs are glaring and the big loss of 2006 and likely losses in 2008 prove it. Conservatives like Jeff Flake HAVE to be put into positions of responsiblity and authority to get the country back on track and save the republican party from losing conservatives and becoming democrat-lite. |
| William Godbout | Chandler, AZ | February 12, 2008 | I submit that Jeff Flake be placed on the Appropriations Committee. Jeff Flake has the financial principles necessary to get the country back on track to fiscal responsibility. |
| William Godbout | Chandler, AZ | February 12, 2008 | I submit that Jeff Flake be placed on the Appropriations Committee. Jeff Flake has the financial principles necessary to get the country back on track to fiscal responsibility. |
| Lisa Pine | Magnolia, AR | February 12, 2008 | Thanks for standing up for your (and what should be everyone's) principles. I support you wholeheartedly. Straight Talk Express 2. |

| Laura Rosado | Boulder City, NV | February 12, 2008 | I was unaware of the opening on the appropriations committee, but have long been aware of Rep. Jeff Flake. He has the INTEGRITY and CONSERVATIVE VALUES to make honest decisions that cut pork and save money for taxpayers. I know this isn't the ethics committee -- but it is, in fact, his ETHICS that qualify Jeff Flake to serve in this important capacity. I strongly encourage you to Make it Flake for appropriations. |
| Michael Wilson | Champaign, IL | February 12, 2008 | Excessive earmarks are the number one ethical issue facing our nation's leaders, and with Representative Flake on the House Appropriations Committee, I'm confident that the public's overwhelmingly negative view of Congressional ethics will have no choice but to improve. |
| Jean Hoffman | Downingtown, PA | February 12, 2008 | I respectfully ask you to make a major change in Washington and support Rep. Flake for Appropriations Committee. We need a strong watch dog on this committee and his presents will prove that Republicans are for limited Government. Are they still??? |
| John Lydon | Indialantic, FL | February 12, 2008 | Stop the Earmarks and reduce Government spending ! |
| Scott Knipple | Greenville, SC | February 12, 2008 | Please support Rep. Flake. STOP the practice of Earmarks NOW. This is the easiest way to shrink the size of government and show responsibility in spending. Earmarks is outright stealing from the American people. It is corrupting the government of the greatest country in the world. |
| Robert Ciervo | Newtown, PA | February 12, 2008 | Please support Rep. Flake for this important position. We need to get back to Republican principles in order to win elections again. |
| Jeff Davis | Bainbridge Island, WA | February 12, 2008 | Earmarks are outright thievery. Republicans can regain enthusiasm from their base by adopting Rep. Flake's position against earmarks. |
| Wanda Schumann | Raleigh, NC | February 12, 2008 | We definitely need to end the practice of earmark spending for the good of our country. It is time to lead by example.I urge you to appoint Congressman Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Pamela Simmons | Memphis, TN | February 12, 2008 | Republicans need to STOP acting like Democrats! STOP the earmarks! Show our conservative values and we'll be back in the majority! Support Jeff Flake for the Appropriations Committee! |
| Bill Fearneyhough | Tucson, AZ | February 12, 2008 | This is the sort of Republican that must be seated on the powerful HAC. We already have tax and spend without end, big government Democrats so we sure the heck don’t need the same from Republicans. Unless Republicans regain the limit government spending high ground soon, I don't foresee a positive future for the party. |

| Bradley Joe | Santa Ana, CA | February 11, 2008 | I'm a Republican looking for someone who wants to do the best for the American people. Please put Jeff Flake in a position to do this. Thanks from all of us who care. |
| Paul Purdue | Fairview, NC | February 11, 2008 | It's time for the Republican Party to get back to it's roots Jeff Flakes would be a great start............. |
| Dean Zarras | Bedford, NY | February 11, 2008 | If there were more Jeff Flakes in Congress, the Republicans would still hold a majority. People like him need to be the future of the party. |
| Jim Goff | Davenport, IA | February 11, 2008 | x |
| Chris just | phoenix, AZ | February 11, 2008 | I have listened to Jeff Flake talk about containing inappropriate spending and I think he would do an incredible job cutting the pork, so please appoint him to this position! |
| Sam Nelson | Birmingham, AL | February 11, 2008 | x |
| Linda Shook | Sanford, NC | February 11, 2008 | It is time we get the right conservative leadership on important committees. Jeff Flake is the best person for the Appropriations Committee vacancy. |

| Anthony LaRosa | Lyman, SC | February 11, 2008 | x |
| Paul Wardour | Bethesda, MD | February 11, 2008 | Appoint Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee, it's the only way you will begin to regain credibility. With approval levels at all time lows for Congress what do you have to lose? Oh that's right... you lose the ability to waste my money. Cut the pork, vote Flake! |
| Rod McFadden | Manassas, VA | February 11, 2008 | x |
| Robert Ellison | Holicong, PA | February 11, 2008 | To the real politicians out there: Jeff Flake is a rising star with the fearsome quality of honesty. You should put him on your team rather than try to push him down. |
| Mike Sweaney | Gilbert, AZ | February 11, 2008 | To whom it may concern, I live in the district that Jeff Flake represents in the East valley. I am a political junkee, and watch C-SPAN often. He is the ONLY member of Congress who consistently fights wasteful spending. It's time to return to Conservative fiscal principals. VOTE FOR FLAKE!!!! |
| Claude Ward | Bowman, GA | February 10, 2008 | Pork Barrel SPENDING is,in my opinion, a serious moral display of theft by deception for using a political trust position to divert public tax funds from the many tax payers to serve the few that benefit, plus the obscene personal benefits gleened from subtle vote buying to enhance tenure and build political power! Claude Ward. |
