September Campaign: Appoint Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee

Name	City	Date	Comments
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.

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	Rotterdam, 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.
Jude Miller	Spencer, WV	February 13, 2008	For more responsible government add Jeff Flake to Appropriations.
Ryan Ellison	Tucson, AZ	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.
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.

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.
Mike 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.

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!

Chris Bracco	Baytown, TX	February 10, 2008	Our party leadership has long since stopped acting on its conservative "principles", and it has cost us dearly. The most recent and deep wound was the 2006 mid-term elections. We (you) have an opportunity now to signal a new commitment to those values. Appoint Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee and help end pork. Gov't shoud be small, accountable, and transparent. Pork distorts each of these. The GOP needs leaders like Jeff Flake, not more of the same.
Mary Orr	Greeneville, TN	February 9, 2008	x
Patrick Sunbury	Berkeley, CA	February 9, 2008	This would show that the Republican party actually cares about the size of government, Jeff Flake is the greatest American statesman of the 21st century.
