| Michael Burchstead | Washington, DC | February 8, 2008 | x |
| Scott Spalding | Oxford, OH | February 8, 2008 | x |
| Christina Lion | hillsboro, OR | February 8, 2008 | Please allow Jeff Flake to guide us back to fiscal discipline and then back to our conservative principles. |
| Karl Egenberger | Towson, MD | February 8, 2008 | Representative Jeff Flake gives me hope. |
| Kelly Maughan | Arlington, VA | February 8, 2008 | x |
| Barbara Moore | Ephrata, PA | February 8, 2008 | We need Jeff Flake!!! Let the Republican Party do something right for a change!! I'm tired of having little to no representation from our elected officials - espcially those who put power and pork above the will of the people! Stand up for once and do the right thing!!! |
| David Schaaf | Evanston, IL | February 8, 2008 | We severely need to reduce our rediculous spend that is bankrupting this nation. Congress is on a spending spree that is obviously cannot afford. Something needs to be cut and I will support anyone who will reduce spending and help save out future generations from an enormous debt. |
| William Hinman | Hayfork, CA | February 8, 2008 | If the Republican Party is serious about regaining the majority status it once held, it will have to convince conservatives that they are serious about small government and fiscal discipline. You can start on that journey by appointing Rep. Jeff Flake. Absent that start, I have to wonder if you value the principles that the Republican Party espouses. |
| D Miller | Medford, MA | February 8, 2008 | Congressional Republicans need to demonstrate that they've turned the corner. If not Jeff Flake, tell us why. Many of us are conservatives 1st and Republicans 2nd. Give us concrete reasons to stay with you. |
| Joseph Manning | Phoenix, AZ | February 7, 2008 | I am tired of hearing that we can't afford to boost military spending when trillions of dollars are spent on worthless local projects to enable corrupt politicians to be re-elected time and time again. Enough already. |
| Charles Self | Reno, NV | February 7, 2008 | Republicans, including myself, are outraged that the party of responsible government has become addicted to pork. In order to regain the trust of your constituents, you need to demonstrate fiscal discipline. Appointing Flake will be an important step in the right direction. We want to vote for Republicans, not just against Democrats and their policies. Please give us a compelling reason to do so by appointing Flake to the appropriations committee, and demonstrating the difference between R and D on appropriations issues. |
| John-Paul Ovadia | Weston, FL | February 7, 2008 | Republican Leaders, The Republican Party has lost it way and as a result lost its majority. If we want to win it back, we must return to our values of fiscal responsibility and small government. Rep. Jeff Flake has a record of fighting pork barrel spending and will bring sound conservatism back to the appropriations committee. I urge you to assign him to this open seat. |
| Charles Kittrell | bartlesville, OK | February 7, 2008 | We need to show the American people that the Republican party stands on principles such as limited government. Too many of the current congressional republicans have forgotten the premises of the Republican party. Jeff Flake is not one of them. Please put Jeff on the Appropriations Committee. |
| Robert Owensby | The Woodlands, TX | February 7, 2008 | The addition of Representative Flake to the open slot on the House Appropriations Committee would send a major signal to the country that the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives if finally listening to the people not the lobbyists etc. Maybe the Republican Party can gain back the majority in the House by actually doing something about the corruption and that starts with Rep. Flake on the committee. |
| David Arnsdorf | Ann Arbor, MI | February 7, 2008 | Earmarks are a clear measure of the corruption in congress. You can create a huge campaign advantage by taking a principled stand against earmarks |
| Jeff Reynolds | Ramsey, MN | February 7, 2008 | We need more people like Jeff Flake in Congress who I have seen on TV shows like CNBC's "Larry Kudlow" extolling the virtues of very low taxation and very limited government. The people of Arizona should be proud to have Jeff Flake representing them. If they are ever done with his services, please send him (voluntarily, of course) to Minnesota. We need people like him here. |

| Roberta Compton | Huntington Beach, CA | February 7, 2008 | x |
| Scott Pinkerton | Phoenix, AZ | February 7, 2008 | I hope the Republican leadership has the courage to put Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Committee. With John McCain now the heir apparent to the GOP nomination, I would be more inclined to go to the polls in November if I knew my party was making the effort to also promote worthy Arizonans to higher positions, too. |
| Don Gieseker | Cincinnati, OH | February 7, 2008 | The Republican Party needs to reestablish itself as the party of fiscal responsibility. Appointing Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee would be a good start. |

| Paul Bujak | Cuyahoga Falls, OH | February 7, 2008 | Earmarks waste tax money, our money. The Republican Party should oppose all earmarks. If the project is beneficial, then pass it with a vote. I support the appointment of Congressman Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee. |
| Bob and Linda Jordan | Keizer, OR | February 7, 2008 | We are opposed to earmarks. We think the Republican Party should be opposed to earmarks. We support the appointment of Congressman Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee. |
| Ovana Slocumb | Bernalillo, NM | February 7, 2008 | If the Republican Party wants to redeem itself with the American people, it needs to appoint Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee as proof of its' commitment to fiscal responsibility. |

| Steven Kahan | Northbrook, IL | February 7, 2008 | x |

| Patricia Reynolds | Martin, KY | February 7, 2008 | Please restore fiscal integrity to the Republican party and eliminate earmarks. Rep. Flake would be a excellent appointment to Appropriations. |
| Graham Marrs | Oceanside, CA | February 7, 2008 | Stop earmarks NOW! Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to regain your credibility. Flake for Appropriations! |
| Christopher Helgren | Rohnert Park, CA | February 7, 2008 | Representative Flake will expose and defeat the earmark process. Please help us end this corrosive influence on both parties. It is not time for business as usual! Thank you. |
| tom purviance | Encinitas, CA | February 7, 2008 | It is not the bacon you bring home but the return to limited government that is the key to restoring our party. |
| Jeremy Carl | Palo Alto, CA | February 7, 2008 | x |
| John Murphy | Chandler, AZ | February 7, 2008 | Be principled Congressman Boehner - Flake for Appropriations! |
| Robert Strickland | Myrtle Beach, SC | February 7, 2008 | x |
| Pettinger Alfred | lincoln, NE | February 7, 2008 | Appointing Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee will be a step toward reassuring the conservative base that the Congressional leadership is beginning to recognize what they need to do to re-earn our support. |
| Rebecca Stern | Cody, WY | February 7, 2008 | Congressman Boehner, It is imperative that congresspersons immediately cease governing to be reelected and govern for the good of the whole country. Please do all that you can to see that Jeff Flake gets a seat on the Appropriations Committee as he is one of the very few who understands the severe damage that "earmarks"are doing to our society. Thank you. |
| James Fox | Bozeman, MT | February 7, 2008 | Disillusioned Republican seeks leadership able to make him a believer again. Call Jeff Flake to leave a message. |
| jack cate | Nashville, TN | February 7, 2008 | Congressman Boehner Please put Congressman Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee; show some courage; show some leadership; remember you serve at the pleasure of the people. Represent us and America's fiscal future and not some short sighted political expediency. |
| Jane Purse | Gilbert, AZ | February 7, 2008 | x |

| Brian Kleinsmith | Corona, CA | February 7, 2008 | No More! We can take this issue and really put the pressure on Pelosi to put up or shut up. |
| Jan Yarnot | Sacramento, CA | February 7, 2008 | It's time to get serious about pork, or never govern again. |
| Tom Page | Silverado, CA | February 7, 2008 | Congressman Boehner, if you think holding off earmarks for one year is the solution, it is just a ploy to fool voters. Why not try to hold yourself to conservative principles instead of a temporary solution that is as lame as the Stimulus (giveaway) package? We need a watch dog for our hard earned tax dollars and putting Congressman Flake on the Appropriations committee is a good start. Quit spending our children's future and be responsible. |
| David Starr | Franconia, NH | February 7, 2008 | Rep Jeff Flake's long battle against pork needs to be supported. Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee is a strong anti pork statement. Pork kills the Republican party. voters detest pork. The way to Republican victory in 2008 is to dump the pork |
| Kathy Cross | Mesa, AZ | February 7, 2008 | Stop the pork. |
| Pat Potter | Cordova, TN | February 7, 2008 | We need some sanity in the earmark process. Please, please name Flake to the Appropriations Committee and send a message to voters that Republicans are serious about eliminating pork. |

| Norman Stowell | Wilmot, NH | February 7, 2008 | x |
| Frank Logan | Austin, TX | February 7, 2008 | Times have changed. No longer will the American People be kept in the dark about wasteful Washington spending. Republicans must remember their conservative principles if they want to keep their jobs. |
| Robert Faliski | Auburn, WA | February 7, 2008 | x |
| Carl Motto | Hallandale Beach, FL | February 7, 2008 | Appointing Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee will send a powerful message to the electorate that the Republican Party is serious about reforming Congressional spending. |
| Elizabeth Barsoom | Reedley, CA | February 7, 2008 | I know that it is hard for you to come to grips with the fact that you are our Hired Help.

Show the country that we are indeed different and better than the Democrats. |
| Anthony Winters | Phoenix, AZ | February 7, 2008 | x |
| Joe Kasper | El Paso, TX | February 7, 2008 | If you wish to send a message that the Republican party has gotten the message and will go back to the principle of fiscal responsibility, I can think of no better way than to appoint Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. Otherwise, you will have clearly stated its business as usual on the bridge to nowhere. |
| Jonathan Granger | Naples, FL | February 7, 2008 | Pork/Earmarks has more effect on corruption in our government than it provides benefits to our country. Let Jeff Flake continue his valuable work |
| Eric Krueger | Naples, FL | February 7, 2008 | x |
| Tim Kindred | Bath, ME | February 7, 2008 | There is simply no excuse for all the pork that Congress seems to hand out. You all seem to forget when you get to Washington that it is OUR money you are spending, and we, the voters, anr NOT meat-based ATM's. Make it stop. Now. |
| Allan Wylie | South Strafford, VT | February 7, 2008 | Pork is nothing but stealing. It's a contest to see if you can get back for your district what was stolen by some other representative for his district. If you don't get back your fair share, your district is funding someone else's pet project. The only way it can be equitable is if every district recovers what other districts are stealing from yours, and then, what's the point of it all? You are wasting the taxpayer's money and not treating it as though somone worked hard to earn it. Stop the pork! |
| Bruce Squires | Fargo, ND | February 7, 2008 | Park, pork, pork, that's all the pigs at the trough in Washington seem to know. It about time that the leadership realizes we the people are tired of being ripped off to support some Washington fat cat's project just to they can get re-elected. Time to put a stop to it. Appoint Jeff!!!! |
| kenny dargert | Sparks, NV | February 7, 2008 | without fiscal responsibility we have nothing but a giant pork barrel. its time to reverse the direction of government and put it back into the hands of the people. we are slaves in a free world and the government now is what our fore fathers fought so hard against.
