| Robert Butters | Indianapolis, IN | January 17, 2008 | I,m tired of all the lip service. Promises,promises, etc. to get elected for another two years then to hell with what we said voters will forget. It's not YOUR MONEY. |
| James Alston | Norfolk, VA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Bill Levenson | Washington, DC | January 17, 2008 | Dear Congress: Please act responsible with our money and stop wasting money on frivolous projects. Please stop the insane earmarks! |
| Bruce D. Johnson | Lakewood, WA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Jim Murphy | Bethel Heights, AR | January 17, 2008 | We need to stop pork barrel spending and get the country back into the black instead of the red. |
| Don Murray | Pasadena, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Jason Kopp | Mukwonago, WI | January 17, 2008 | We need to stop earmarks and get back to conservatism. |
| Barry Owens | Noblesville, IN | January 17, 2008 | Time to do the right thing, we're running out of time. The opportunity to get a base standard begins with the right choices, which currently have the American people wondering which canidates really stand for what the people of this great nation stand for. Seems the opportunity to show the people the time is now begins with Rep Flake. |

| Darryl Carter | Minneapolis, MN | January 17, 2008 | 1995 seems SO long ago now. My idealism got a big boost of refresher, when the GOP went to a Governor, speaking in a State House chamber, for its response to the President's State-of-the-Union address. Brilliant! Great symbolism, that this new broom actaually means what it says, and will soon set about devolving power FROM Washington! Too bad, so sad. Their next big moves were to name an expanded government new building after a President who preached smaller government....and then re-named an airport for him, as well. Wow! Heavy stuff! VERY impressive, boys and girls! Then, the fools began a reign of borrow-and-spend earmarks uber alles. Let the children pay! Let's buy the Old People's vote with a new Medicare Prescription Drug entitlement! Let the grandchildren pay! And, let's inject the United States government into the most personal business of a single family in Florida! Next, let's back off that hunt for Osama, and launch an elective war instead, to show Dad how Iraq should REALLY be handled! The federal-level GOP has gone seriously, wildly, irresponsibly astray, Ladies and Gentlemen. Fall back, grow up and begin to pull this Republic back from the...[trimmed for length] |
| Pamela Stommel | Christiansted, PR | January 17, 2008 | I live in the US Virgin Islands....Puerto Rico is available for a state choice...why isn't the U S Virgin Islands a selection? |

| Mike Sherwood | Gilbert, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Sir I urge you to appoint Rep. Jeff Flake to the vacant Republican seat in the Appropriations Committee. We need very badly to get back to our conservative principals. Fiscal responsibilitie should be our first order of business. Jeff Flakes appointment would be a key to that beginning. Respectfully, Mike Sherwood |

| John Knauer | Metairie, LA | January 17, 2008 | It's time for CONSERVATIVE control in the Congress AND the WHITE HOUSE. Appointing Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee is a great first step. |
| Tim Lucas | North Ogden, UT | January 17, 2008 | x |
| David Stone | Nashua, NH | January 17, 2008 | When the Republicans gained the majority they suddenly became just as greedy and irresponsible as the Democrats. What a disgrace. An opportunity lost to really show what conservative principles can achieve. Now that the majority has been lost, Republicans need to get back to those principles if they ever want to be taken seriously again. Talk is cheap. |

| Marion Lelong | Falls Church, VA | January 17, 2008 | Self control by the Republican Party is a sign of maturity and is badly needed to set an example to the Democratic Party. |

| Manuel Fernandez | Cooper City, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dave Fletcher | Vail, AZ | January 17, 2008 | There should not be any ear marks. Put Jeff Flake on the House Appropriation Committee so he can at least do some of what the Republican Party should be doing, and slow down to the waste of taxpayer's money. |
| J. P. Pattie | Mesa, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Jeffs is my Congressman. Proud to support him. |
| Patricia Harris | Roanoke, VA | January 17, 2008 | We need to have term limits and zero earmarks ( pork ). Maybe a ban on naming bridges, post offices, etc. for members of Congress will put a stop to it. I would never allow something to be named for me - it would be an embarrasment. |

| Rick Mikesell | Strongsville, OH | January 17, 2008 | Dear Leader Boehner, It is with great pride that I ask you to appoint Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee. I watched Jeff take on John Murtha one night on CSPAN. WE NEED JEFF on the committee!! As an Ohioan, I am very proud of the work you've done Sir. We can trust Jeff Flake!!Please seriously consider this young Man. Thank you A PROUD Parent of a SOLDIER, Rick Mikesell Strongsville, OHIO |
| Elizabeth Ann Wrinkle | Dexter, MO | January 17, 2008 | We watch our household spending...so can Washington. NOW |
| J. Kenton Grooms | Knoxville, TN | January 17, 2008 | Let's put the brakes on this out-of-control spending. Republicans are getting the blame for it whether or not. |
| Fred PROPHETER | Walkersville, MD | January 17, 2008 | JUST DO IT!!! |
| William Reed | Mamaroneck, NY | January 17, 2008 | Government grows at the expense of personal liberty, the founding principle of this nation. Stop the madness! Appoint Rep. Flake! |
| James Gardner | Spotsylvania, VA | January 17, 2008 | Has the Republican party finally decided to stop the hemorrhaging caused by their spending policies? The voters will be watching you to see. |
| Beverly Colt | Redding,, CA | January 17, 2008 | The earmarking that goes on in Congress is literally stealing money out of the taxpayers pockets. Your selected candidate sounds like someone who will literally look after the American people. As for the rest of Congress, my solution is TERM LIMITS! They could do their civic service and then go home and live under the laws they create for everyone else. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY! |
| Deborah Clairday | Mammoth Spring, AR | January 17, 2008 | This is the smart thing to do! |
| Jon Piper | Newport, VT | January 17, 2008 | Proving that Republicans are serious in restraining the out of control spending in Congress is the true path back to the majority. |
| Craig Dixon | Charlotte, NC | January 17, 2008 | FISCAL CONSERVATISM. |

| Clerice Fisher | Spokane Valley, WA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Bob Hermanson | Beverly Hills,, FL | January 17, 2008 | It's about time that the Republicans showed that we adhere to CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPALS!! This sounds like one of the best ways to start and to win back your Conservative base. If you do not do it, you will lose again. |
| Christopher Ingram | Baton Rouge, LA | January 17, 2008 | Free Markets and Fiscal Restraint. |
| W. Spillane | Manhattan Beach, CA | January 17, 2008 | It isn't enough to be "the lesser evil"; do what's right or spend the next forty years in the minority, again! |
| John Cartledge | Allentown, PA | January 17, 2008 | We must prove to America that the Republican Party is once again the party of limited government and fiscal responsibility: Jeff Flake is the right man for Appropriations! |
| Susanna McNeil | Chicago, IL | January 17, 2008 | We need a leader like Flake to reign in wasteful spending. |
| Nathan Lipscomb | San Antonio, TX | January 17, 2008 | Do something about earmarks and put Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee. |
| Shelly Moore | Plantation, FL | January 17, 2008 | It's time to tighten the belt in Washington. We need to put an end to this mindless spending. Jeff Flake has stood up to pork barrel spending and would be an asset to your committee. |
| Don Friedkin | Rye, NY | January 17, 2008 | Flake is the guy to put the brake on earmarks |
| Ralph D. (Dave) Bleacher) | Albuquerque, NM | January 17, 2008 | You lost the 2006 elections because you did not adhere to Conservative Principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, etc. And you will continue to lose elections if you don't wake up. |
| Royal Magnell | Occidental, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Alan Asawa | Steubenville, OH | January 17, 2008 | We absolutely need politicians who have the vision that will lead our nation in the fiscal direction that will allow us to maintain our critical role as world leader in the face of fascist Islam. |
| Irving Baum | New York, NY | January 17, 2008 | If earmarks were halted, we could easily balance the budget and reduce the deficit in short order. Earmarks are a form of political patronage given out by and large by those legislators who pander to the recipients in an attempt to ensure their own re-election -- in other words, a bribe!! This is outrageous. |
| Michael Johnston | Tucson, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Jeff Flake has earned a seat on the House Appropriations Committee, and then some. If for no other reason than the powerful message that would send to the whole House. |
| Marilyn Schenk | Reno, NV | January 17, 2008 | Everything I know about Jeff Flake tells me he is a good man and went to Washington to make changes. Do the right thing and put him on the appropriations committee. |

| Cliff Wildman | Austin, TX | January 17, 2008 | Let's stop the government welfare state. I'm not talking about helping folks down on their luck, I'm talking about not building bridges to nowhere, dropping bags of cash on organizations that don't exist, or prison museums. Can we get some sanity here? Please!? |

| E. L. Jolly | San Antonio, TX | January 17, 2008 | We NEED men who will stand up to the big spenders. We should control the spending of the TAXPAYERS MONEY. Our representatives have a fiduciary responsibility! Either we change or we die as a party. |
| Mary Mueller | San Antonio, TX | January 17, 2008 | Fiscal sanity is needed by Congress and should be led by Republicans. Give Rep. Flake a chance to rein in wasteful spending. |

| Joe Hopersberger | Howell, MI | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ronald Kauffman | Winton, CA | January 17, 2008 | The federal government's deviation from fiscal prudence over the past 60 years(along with failure to secure our borders)may prove to be the fundamental causes for the downfall of the USA. Congratulations, Pols!! Lenin was right. The plum is falling. Only actions such as the Flake appointment can stem the fall. |
| DeArle Stucker | Blissfield, MI | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Daniel Pratt | Decatur, AL | January 17, 2008 | If the Republican Party is interested in the continuation of losing elections, do not select Rep Flake for the open seat on the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Robert Finkel | Ottawa Hills, OH | January 17, 2008 | Until the congressional Republicans stop acting like Democrats and start displaying a modicum of financial discipline, I will not give a penny to the RNC, nor the Congressional and Senatorial Committees. Robert I. Finkel, Ottawa Hills, OH. |

| Michael J Mosca | Andover MA, MA | January 17, 2008 | "We The People..." are sick and tired of being sick and tired. We need to stop the pork barrel spending and senseless use of our treasure so that we can at least have a chance of securing some economic security for our children and grandchildren. |
| Mel Marten | Miami Beach, FL | January 17, 2008 | I used to be Republican, but I switched to full card-carrying Libertarian when the Republicans became big-government spenders. I'll never come back until the Republican party cleans up its spending act- Jeff Flake will help! Mel Marten, CEO - www.ClaroConnect.com |
| Jim Coffman | Centennial, CO | January 17, 2008 | WE, the American Taxpayers demand that Jeff Flake be appointed to the appropriations committee to help stop the waste of OUR money on congressional earmarks. |
| William Gillin | Colorado Springs, CO | January 17, 2008 | Pork kings like Sen. Ted Stevens are a disgrace to the country and to the Republican party. Until our leaders reign in pork spending, they do not deserve to be in office! We need fiscal conservatives like Rep. Flake! |
| william nolan | St. Louis, MO | January 17, 2008 | Unless Republicans begin the return to fiscal responsibility-in part by appointing Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee-six members of my immediate family and forty-two members of my extended family will stop all contributions to and voting for Republican candidates and causes IMMEDIATELY. |
| David Florea | Donald, OR | January 17, 2008 | Agree with what others are saying -- it's been starting to feel like there's no difference between Republicrats and Demicans. We need to return to our principles, that's what will win elections and maybe -- just maybe -- save the country. |
| Reginald Diodati | Troy, PA | January 17, 2008 | Will I live to see the day Congress actually cuts spending? I'm almost 80. |
| Mrs. Jean Nepsund | Westlake Village, CA | January 17, 2008 | It is time to say that "Earmarks" are deducted from the salary of the requesting congressman. Earmarks must be stopped. The BUDGET MUST BE Balanced ! ! ! Mrs. Jean Nepsund |
| Cathy Currie | Victoria, TX | January 17, 2008 | We need to rid our congress of programs that drain our taxpapers. We need honesty in government. |
| Janeen Kane | Cibolo, TX | January 17, 2008 | Republicans have lost their way - no longer are we considered "conservative" - you can do something to help. Make sure that Jeff Flake gets the appropriations committee assignment. I have stopped all contributions to the Republican party - when I see some changes maybe I'll support the party again. |
