| Stephen Caldwell | Madison, WI | January 23, 2008 | Do you truly understand the low esteem the people have for Congress? Appointing Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Cmte would be a small but positive step in reversing that condition. |
| Patricia Fabunan | Gilbert, AZ | January 23, 2008 | It's refreshing to see a Congressman genuinely do his job and mean it. Yes, pork has to STOP! |
| Patrick Anderson | Chandler, AZ | January 23, 2008 | We used to be a party of fiscal responsibility. Please help us get back there. Congressman Flake would be a great start. |
| Steve Duffey | Lakeside, AZ | January 23, 2008 | x |
| Daniel Swanson | Yukon, OK | January 22, 2008 | The Republican Party must continue to stand against irresponsible federal spending and the unreasonable growth in the federal government. |
| Robert Warren | Mansfield, TX | January 22, 2008 | Pork has to STOP. We have to return to the conservative roots that swept Newt and The Contract with America into office. If not, then Republican part is nothing more than Democrat Lite and I fear our country will go the way of Rome. |
| George Singer | New Haven, CT | January 22, 2008 | Do it. |

| Alan LaRue | Indio, CA | January 22, 2008 | Honorable Jeff Flake: Congratulations on deciding to run for the Minority Leader's position. As a true Reagan conservative, I fully support the spending cuts and fiscal responsibility you stand for. Very truly yours, Alan W. LaRue |
| Joanne Smith | Wellington, FL | January 22, 2008 | Why give the Democrats more ammunition. We need all the positive aspects for this very important upcoming election. If either Hillary or Obama are elected, I fear greatly for our country, both abroad and at home. |

| Chad Machiela | Lacey, WA | January 22, 2008 | I how I miss the real GOP |
| James Beech | Grove City, PA | January 21, 2008 | Either we go to hell with congressional business as usual, or we turn away and bring government spending down to a sane and sustainable level at the present tax burden, or lower. Congressman Flake is a man of sound and moral judgement, and is needed in this critical hour of US history. With so many monetary players on the world chess board, we cannot wait to stop this insane spending to the destruction of our sovereignty. |
| Cory Thatcher | Killeen, TX | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Pam Von Wiegand | Menlo Park, CA | January 21, 2008 | Make us proud of being a Republican again, please. Stop the earmarks, stop the spending. |
| Stanley Stolte | Arvada, CO | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Jennifer Lorensen | Pueblo, CO | January 21, 2008 | Congressman Flake is the right person for the job. We are sick and tired of Congress (especially GOP members who are supposed to be fiscally responsible legislators) spending tax money like drunken sailors. It is time for the voice of reason, it is time for the free-for-all spending sprees to end. |
| al MORALES | surprise, AZ | January 21, 2008 | We need to restore fiscal resposibility. If Republicans want to lead the way, they may start by appointing Congressman Flake. |
| Cynthia Duncan | Forest Lake, MN | January 21, 2008 | I have been active in politics for over 30 years. Pork spending needs to stop. Let each state pay for its own "improvement" projects. Appoint Congressman Flake since he seems to be the only one who is careful of how he "spends" our hard-earned dollars. |
| ROBERT BRUCE STANFORD | UPLAND, CA | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Minette Sweeney | Claremont, NH | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Bryan Berg | Buffalo, MN | January 21, 2008 | I have been an active Republican for the past seven years. I am becoming extremely frustrated with how the Republican caucus has been acting the past few years. Placing Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee would go a long way in restoring my confidence in the Republican leadership in Washington. |
| Roselene Springer | Des Moines, IA | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Carl Selmasska | Easton, PA | January 21, 2008 | Dear Representative Boehner, It is not necessary to repeat the abilities of Congressman Flake. You sir are more aware of his qualifications than I. I have tried to follow his votes and I am never disappointed. Congressman Flake is an unquestionable conservative. We need a man of his abilities on this committee. Respectfully yours, Carl Selmasska Easton, PA |
| Jim Williams | Orlando, FL | January 21, 2008 | Please - put Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee. We need to stop spending! We need the Fair Tax! The time is now for a "Change" and this is how to do it! Fix illegal alien problembs - we do not need more people in our country! It is a bunch of bull that we are being fed! It costs more than it's worth! We need change for the good - not just change for change sake! I am a #'s USA supporter & Fair Tax supporter! I have not heard a better way for change than these two concepts! We should not be so invested in the good old boy networks of the beltway! You work for the People! |
| Max Perry | Bellingham, WA | January 21, 2008 | Congress needs to get back to fiscal consevatism and doing what is right to stop the earmark process and get the people's trust back. Rhetoric won't cut it! Do the RIGHT THING!!! |

| William Porath | Kennewick, WA | January 21, 2008 | The country needs/requires a person who will stop the earmarks that are used to buy re-election. Put Rep. Jeff Flake onto the appropriations committee NOW! |
| Jim McGee | Orem, UT | January 21, 2008 | What this nation needs is for someone in Congress to put a stop to the practice of adding last minute earmarks that are of benefit only to the politicions area to legislation that is crutial for the well being of this country. If not, they will not be re-elected to keep wasting the money of the citizens of the United States. |
| Tom Sarratt | roseburg, OR | January 21, 2008 | If you will NOT begin to show SOME fiscal responsibility, IE- Rep. Jeff Flake, the you will have lost MY vote and the votes of a lot of others. Put up with 'Billary' for a few years until you learn that WE WILL NOT SUPPORT STUPIDITY, and we will collectively tell you to F*&% OFF!!! |
| Donna Bachman | Concord, NC | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Jim Wilson | Blandon, PA | January 21, 2008 | Please put Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee. I and many others are desperate for you to include someone who will truly work to stop ear marks and other frivolous spending. |
| Ron Marston | Gresham, OR | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Gene Tilley | Boca Raton, FL | January 21, 2008 | PUT JEFF FLAKE ON THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE SO WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE PERSON WILLING TO QUESTION AND STOP THE INSANE SPENDING IN WASHINGTON. EAR MARKS ARE A LICENSE TO STEAL. |

| Jorge F. Vargas | Panorama City, CA | January 21, 2008 | Feel free to call me if you have any questions. |

| Kathy Sailer | Bismarck, ND | January 21, 2008 | Congress has to start disciplining itself on spending. I have read serveral articles dipicting Sen. Flake as a true fiscal conservative. Please appoint him to the House Appropriations Committee. Republicans in Congress need to get back to the conservative way of thinking! |

| Dorinda Courtine | Ashville, NY | January 21, 2008 | Cutting spending is the most important thing Congress can do to restore any chance of Republican victories this fall. We need Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Committee. |
| Claire Brigham | West Lafayette, IN | January 21, 2008 | How disappointing it was to finally gain control of the purse strings and have them loosed, only to see our reps turn into rinos. Claire S. Brigham, West Lafayette IN |
| PAUL STECKEL | SLATINGTON, PA | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Patricia Wright | Parma, OH | January 21, 2008 | Republicans already representing "us" need to take note that what "we" want is fiscal responsibility--they have been ignoring "our" wishes not only on earmarks but also on the illegal immigration border controls! Back to core Republican planks is important for the future of our country! |
| Richard Fox | Ft. Wayne, IN | January 21, 2008 | The Republicans have become a huge disappointment to me in their support of spending projects. Also the Bush proposal to give refunds (one time) to abate recession doesn't sound like good economics. Richard Fox, Ft. Wayne, In |
| Jay Talsma | Bloomington, IL | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Richard Fox | Ft. Wayne, IN | January 21, 2008 | The Republicans have become a huge dissapointment to me in their support of spending projects. Also the Bush proposal to give refunds (one time) to abate recession dosen't sound like good economics. Richard Fox, Ft. Wayne, In |
| Vivek Jampala | Austin, TX | January 21, 2008 | Republicans have been spending money like drunken Democrats over the past ten years. It is time to restore real fiscal discipline to our Congress. I agree with appointing Congressman Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Howard Weinstein | Englewood, NJ | January 21, 2008 | x |
| Robert Pelletier | Pemberton, NJ | January 21, 2008 | Its time Republicans show that they are fiscal conservatives when it comes to the public treasury! If Jeff Flake is not appointed to the Appropriations Committee then it tells me that the Republican leadership is not serious about pork barrel spending. |
| Ray Carney | San Diego, CA | January 21, 2008 | I agree with appointing Congressman Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |

| Anthony Holder | Houston, TX | January 20, 2008 | Representative Boehner, The appropriations process leaves citizens (like me) with the impression that earmarks are being used either as payback for campaign donations or as a solicitation of donations. No matter what the press says about the 2006 elections, you guys lost mainly because of how you were perceived by republicans on issues like this one. Voters don't really care about pork coming back home. The only people who really care are the special interest recipients. Please stop the pork. Promote people like Jeff Flake to leadership positions. |
| Wanda Blystone | Washington, TX | January 20, 2008 | Please put an end to all porkbarreling.That is not why our representatives were elected for. |
| G.K. Gerig | Montrose, CA | January 20, 2008 | Please name Rep. Flank to the House Appropriations Committee without further delay. As a registered, lifelong "Reagan Republican" I have had it right up to my hairy eyebrows with the vast, bloated, slobbering, oppressive, power-drunk pig that our government - at Federal, State and Local levels - has been allowed to become. Needless to say I consider the actions of so-called "Republicans" who have helped perpetuate that condition to be not just wrong but ethically OBSCENE. The hog-wallow is OVER, and expect leadership on this, once and for all. Enough is enough - as of something like ten years ago. |
| Terrel Ingram | Decatur, AL | January 20, 2008 | We need a man like this in Washington. |
| Charles McCarty2 | San Diego, CA | January 20, 2008 | All fiscally responsible Republicans should campaign in the upcoming elections declaring they will refuse to ask for or to support ANY earmarks. If they all did this then earmark horsetrading would stop and the Dems. alone would have to expose themselves to public scrutiny. A powerful credibility weapon created in an instant. weapon. |
| Alex Roddie | Kansas City, MO | January 20, 2008 | Please rein in wasteb spending by putting a stop to earmarks. |
| Phillip Cronin | Visalia, CA | January 20, 2008 | Rep. Flake has publicly opposed waste and earmarks - which characterize a bloated central government, not the small government that Ronald Reagan called for. Show that you truly mean to be the party of fiscal responsibility by appointing Rep. Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. Cordially, Phillip Cronin |
| Elizabeth Hickey | Chagrin Falls, OH | January 20, 2008 | Please, please stop the Republican Party's irresponsible spending. It is a total disgrace and an in-your-face insult to all the persons who voted for their supposedly conservative nominees. To have voted all the earmarks that were so flagrantly added to bills is reprehensible. No conservative has a right to definatly go against their base as these members have done. There is no excuse for your actions. |
