| Ronald McKendree | Columbus, GA | January 20, 2008 | Rep. Flake will help put fiscal responsibility back into, what use to be, the peoples government. |
| Kenneth Spence | Dallas, TX | January 20, 2008 | x |
| Ernest Lane | Trinity, FL | January 20, 2008 | Republicans are supposed to be opposed to wasteful government spending. Prove it. |
| Shannon Fatta | Statesville, NC | January 20, 2008 | Please apooint Flake. The people need him in that position. |
| Jim Campbell | River Edge, NJ | January 20, 2008 | This is seriously needed if the GOP wants to keep the support of conservatives. Especially in light of the RNCs & NRSCs disgraceful action of supporting that radical liberal Lincoln Chaffe in the primarys during the last election cycle. |
| Adam Shamah | Bellmore, NY | January 20, 2008 | Prove that you're serious about restoring the public's faith in the GOP. |

| malcolm mitchell | roseville, CA | January 20, 2008 | I support the appointment of Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. He has a solid track record of restricting earmarks that are often wasteful expenditures of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. |

| Sandra Manzi | Anderson, SC | January 20, 2008 | I also support jeff Flake, it's about time our government start hearing THE PEOPLE THAT PUT THEM THERE. We need his positive attitude and our "Party" needs it also. |
| Gene Soleim | Grand Forks, ND | January 20, 2008 | I think Jeff Flake would be a good addition to the appropriations committee. But he is only one voice to stop this nonsence spending. The people of this country need to stand up and be heard. Good luck. |
| Urban Hess | Tipp City, OH | January 20, 2008 | x |
| Edward (Ned) McGovern | Summit, NJ | January 20, 2008 | We need Rep. Jeff Flake's positive attitude and willingness to stand up to the spenders. |
| Joseph Grivois | Manchester, NH | January 20, 2008 | Never fails. No matter how bad things get for "We, the taxpayer", the self serving pols make sure they get theirs first. Trouble is, they just never can seem to find time to solve our problems. With Jeff Flake being one of the rare "representatives", I insist he gets a slot on appropriations! |
| Louis HIll | Waco, TX | January 20, 2008 | I support what Rep Flake is doing. Period |
| Kathleen Cooper | Oceanside, CA | January 20, 2008 | Right on! I support this man's actions. |

| Tony Torres | Fairfax, VA | January 20, 2008 | x |
| Joe Hutchinson | Glendale, AZ | January 20, 2008 | Fiscal responsibilty is step#1 in restoring the dollar and getting back to principals Ron Paul expounds. Jeff can do it! |
| Shirley Morehand | Syracuse, NY | January 20, 2008 | I too, feel Rep. Flake is the right man for this job. |
| Rhonda Holland | Altoona, PA | January 20, 2008 | The Constitution is the original Contract with America! End all pork!!! |

| David Nelson | Green Bay, WI | January 20, 2008 | We need a real pork cutter for a change. Please appoint Jeff Flake. |
| Peter Lindsay | Greensboro, NC | January 20, 2008 | Integrity first. |
| Bill Stemler | Cloverdale, IN | January 20, 2008 | For calendar year 2007, just my personal payroll tax deductions, were over $14,000.00. $14,000.00 per year would improve my standard of living as well as get me in a better financial position for retirement. At this time I get virtually nothing from the Federal and state governments for these deductions. I'm sick and tired seeing my hard earned dollars going to give aways to someone else or some organization that doesn't hold to my value system, for example Planned Parenthood among a long list of others. I expect every dollar of pork eliminated from the Federal budget. I expect Federal expenditures to be based on Constitutional limitations, exclusively. No more free give aways, none! |
| Ronald Delia | Henderson, NV | January 20, 2008 | Who are you people and what have you done with MY old Republican Party? Put Jeff Flake on the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Lydia Martinez | El Paso, TX | January 19, 2008 | Jeff Flake truly is a fiscal conservative who want to trim the pork. Please appoint him. |
| Charles Baker | Houston, TX | January 19, 2008 | Please support Republican Jeff Flake. |
| Ryan Olson | Holmen, WI | January 19, 2008 | Please return the Republican Party to the one of limited government and fiscal discipline. Appointing Rep. Flake to the House Appropriations Committee is a great start. |
| Seth Hipple | Alexandria, VA | January 19, 2008 | If the GOP wants the continued support of conservatives, something needs to change. NOW! Jeff Flake can make that happen and supporting him will show conservatives that you mean business. |
| Tripp Bass | Savannah, GA | January 19, 2008 | Our country desperately needs strong, positive, fiscal stewardship in ALL areas of government. Then, hopefully, our citizens will follow suit and the U.S. economy will once again be robust. |
| Carol Larwood | Casselberry, FL | January 19, 2008 | support rep. flake |
| Bill McMahon | Lake Havasu City, AZ | January 19, 2008 | Please put Jeff Flake on the Appropriations to stop the wasteful earmarks. It is destroying the country. |
| John Belanich | Port Washington, NY | January 19, 2008 | Make each appropriation bill a single issue bill; no attachments or earmarks. Name the writers and supporters of each bill. |
| David E. Wiley | Roseville, CA | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Linda Weyand | Cortez, CO | January 19, 2008 | Please put Rep. Flake on the Appropriations Committee. This country cannot continue to spend money it does not have. We need smaller government. Thank You. |

| Donna Rook | Chicago, IL | January 19, 2008 | Republicans lost in 2006 because of the "spending, stupid," not Iraq. Putting Rep. Flake on the appropriations committee would demonstrate recognition of the spending problem and willingness to change |

| Curt Loosli | orem, UT | January 19, 2008 | please put Rep Flake to the appr. comm. and allow some balance to congrss. thanks much, Curt |
| Joyce Sweigard | Camp Hill, PA | January 19, 2008 | Congressman Boehner, federal spending is out of control,we need you to fight hard to appoint Jeff Flake to the appropriations committee. I am sure you will agree, we need responsible people on this committee. Thank you, Joyce Sweigard |

| William Grambsch | Eden Prairie, MN | January 19, 2008 | Dear Mr. Boehner, There is no way to continue this spending spree. It has to end and we need Earmarks to go. It is legal bribery. As we slip into recession we need fiscal restraint. We, the Republican Party, will loose more seats in the House and Senate mainly because we deserve it. With a Republican Congress and the White house since 2000 spending has been uncontrolled by the conservative Republican party. We desperately need fiscal restraint so appoint Jeff Flake to the appropriations committee. William Grambsch |
| Max Goodspeed | Zephyrhills, FL | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Barry McCain | La Jolla, CA | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Julie Zug | Lancaster, PA | January 19, 2008 | Earmarks for one state is plunder from another. Stop it. It is un-American. |
| George Stott | Huntsville, TX | January 19, 2008 | The chief reason that my wife and I have not sent contributions to the Republican National Committee in the last two quarters is because of the runaway pork barrel spending that Republicans allowed to get through when they were in control of both the Senate and the House. We hope that will change soon. Please appoint Mr. Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee for a move in the right direction. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. George Stott |
| Donald Saum | Roswell, GA | January 19, 2008 | As an Old Conservative vs. a Neo Conservative, Rep. Flake sounds like an excellent choice for the Appropriations Committee! |
| Betty Korsmeier | Sun City, AZ | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Raymond Rowe | Encinitas, CA | January 19, 2008 | Appoint Jeff Flake and WIN in November. A Conservative. |
| Geme Miller | Hendricks, MN | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Daniel Hudson | Astoria, NY | January 19, 2008 | We need more Jeff Flake, not less. |
| Judith Hannan | Stagecoach, NV | January 19, 2008 | The American people have finally opened their eyes to the fact that our Country is nearly bankrupt. Out of control spending through 'pork barrel projects' is a great part of this debacle. Rep. Flake can help to put us back on track by reigning in this runaway waste of taxpayer monies. |
| Joseph Costa | Sun City, CA | January 19, 2008 | x |
| MaryEllen Lempa | Forest View, IL | January 19, 2008 | We need Cong. Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Committee to be an advocate and ombudsman for us taxpayers. |
| Jerome C. Borden | Layton, UT | January 19, 2008 | Eleven thousand earmarks in one year is obscene. Congressman Flake can help cure that situation. |
| Deborah Rieckmann | Belleair, FL | January 19, 2008 | Thanks, to the Sunlight Foundation Americans are waking up to the fact that politicians are using millions of taxpayer dollars to benefit their lifestyles and political coffers. I hope that through the appointment of Rep. Flake to the Appropriations Committee a signal will be sent to the general populace that the politicans still respect the voice of the people. We are watching our pols. much more closely than in the past. Words mean nothing to us anymore, we want action. I was really, happy when Trent Lott (the RINO DINO) finally left. Please, put a man with scruples in his place so, that we might finally have a champion for our National Interest instead of special interests. |

| Timothy Beatty | Emmett, ID | January 19, 2008 | Here our party has a chance to start rebuilding its critical conservative foundation, whithout which we leave the country to the socialists! |
| Matthew Hahne | Lincoln, NE | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Shirley Matthews | St. Petersburg, FL | January 19, 2008 | This is a chance to win us conservatives back into the party by actually delivering what your rhetoric promises. |

| Bill Barkby | Dover, PA | January 19, 2008 | Lets start running this country like it was your own business or household----because IT IS!! |
| Joni Warren | Logansport, IN | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Chris Wagvik | Albuquerque, NM | January 19, 2008 | We need to limit spending for the sake of our country's future. NEVER should public funds go to a particular state. That is what state taxes are for. |
| Jim Morris | Wayne, IL | January 19, 2008 | x |
| John Copeskey | Brandon, MS | January 19, 2008 | Time to rid Congress of the big spenders and those that waste our MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Patrick Walsh | Alta Loma, CA | January 19, 2008 | x |
| FRED DINNSEN | Prescott, AZ | January 19, 2008 | We think adding Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee would be a significant asset and send a message that the Republicans are returning to Jeffersonian principles. |
| Regan Robbins | Mesa, AZ | January 19, 2008 | No more earmarks!! |
| Patrick Brophy | Port Richey, FL | January 19, 2008 | GOP wise-up and return to true conservative ways or we will all lose and the left will keep gaining. Elect Jeff Flake now! |
| Troy Nave | Manhattan, KS | January 19, 2008 | Please bring some sanity to the congress. |
| Michael McQuade | West Brookfield, MA | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Vincent Mayfield | Niceville, FL | January 19, 2008 | We the people want NO, Zip, Zero, Nada earmarks as they are bad for America. Those who push or sponsor earmarks should be publicly embarrassed by having their activities published. Each budget item should stand on it own in the light of day. No backroom deals. |
| Linda Runbeck | Circle Pines, MN | January 19, 2008 | As a former state legislator in MN during the years Republicans were making great gains (both state and federal), I have to say the Republican GOB in leadership. Get Flake into leadership (give him some nationwide communication resources) and Americans will understand the huge difference between conservatives and liberals! Linda Runbeck, State Senator-MN (ret.) |
| Rense Johnson | Oklahoma City, OK | January 19, 2008 | Recently Fred Barnes said on Brit Hume's Special report (Fox)that the most politically powerful move the Republicans could make would be to forgo and disavow all earmarks. Earmarks require "Logrolling," meaning that for one congressman to get his he must vote for everyone else's — responding to lobbyists and a conspiracy to steal from the taxpayers. |
| Bobby Holly | Longview, TX | January 19, 2008 | x |
| Bruce Koedding | Bloomfield Hills, MI | January 19, 2008 | As a retired Army Officer, I believe earmarks should all but be eliminated from the Federal Budget. I was shocked as an Action Officer on the Army Staff in the Pentagon in 1990-93 to see unrelated budget lines (earmarks) inserted in the Army's budget. I strongly recommend that Rep. Jeff Flake be put on the Appropriations Committee to help reduce and all but eliminate this wasteful spending. Earmarks should be able to stand on their own merit. Enough is enough! |
