| Name | City | Date | Comments |
| Timothy Rarick | Virginia Beach, VA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Robert Stone | Christiansburg, VA | January 17, 2008 | Today here is a great need for the application of common sense to fiscal problems brought about by Congress. Jeff Flake can make a difference. He will help eliminate pork and we need that help. |
| Don Cox | Westminster, CO | January 17, 2008 | The continued blind sprint to national fiscal disaster must be stopped. Congressional spending is out of control, and as a father and grandfather, I'm appalled at the terrible burden we're placing on them. The solution isn't to increase the tax burden, but to return to the vision our founding father painted of a limited federal government. |
| Michael Hannah | Denton, MD | January 17, 2008 | With the war going America's way, this election will be about the economy. You guys are spending the Republicans right out of office. Fiscal restraint is a must! |
| michael Leisey | Moncure, NC | January 17, 2008 | I am no longer making any contributions to any republicans. Their disregard for this country, is shameful, and I cannot give them any money where I have a choice when they are throwing it away with earmarks. |
| Mary Santomauro | Stagecoach, NV | January 17, 2008 | You people in Congress better get it right this time or there may never be another time! |
| William Fitzpatrick | Wilmington, NC | January 17, 2008 | I have resisted making contributions to the party and send back all requests with a note to "STOP THE EARMARKS" maybe if Jim Flake gets the committee assignment this may finally happen. If not I will continue to withhold my money. |
| Christy Coolidge | Queen Valley, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Robert F Liker | Joliet, IL | January 17, 2008 | We need to stop the wasteful pork projects. The tax system is broken. The House needs to pass HR25 (FairTax). |
| Hans Harder | Howell, NJ | January 17, 2008 | I am semi-retired. The "Semi" is because I must keep working to pay for my various tax bills. Put Congressman Flake on the Appropiations Comm. to help control spending. |
| Michael Mccarthy | Austin, TX | January 17, 2008 | I commit to fellow Republicans that I will hold our elected officials to the strongest ethical principles, and vote against those who fail to uphold them. |
| Janet Webb | S. Euclid, OH | January 17, 2008 | Stop the pork now! |
| Michael Wade | Huntersville, NC | January 17, 2008 | We are bankrupting ourselves and both parties are rushing to the trough. It's disgusting. If Jeff Flake will do something - anything - to slow down even one earmark, give the man the job! Otherwise, why have a Republican Party at all?!? |
| Karen Evans | Houston, TX | January 17, 2008 | This waste, fraud, corruption and overspending by Congress has got to stop for the sake of our nation's survival. Please appoint a fiscal conservative to the House Appropriations committee. Our very future depends on it!!! |
| Kelly Fetzer | Chicago, IL | January 17, 2008 | Stop the wasteful spending! |
| Mary Schneider | Manor, TX | January 17, 2008 | Putting Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Committee would go a long way in helping Republicans regain credibility in Washington. That credibility is sorely needed and sorely lacking as of right now!!!! |
| Virginia Peterson | Hernando, MS | January 17, 2008 | Republican Congress, it is time to return to a very conserative way of voteing, or look to be replaced in the next election!!!!!!!!!!!! You are not up there to vote what YOU WANT, but WHAT the VOTERS WANT YOU TO DO!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Michael Clark | Indianapolis, IN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Wanda Vann | Sherwood, AR | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Jane Figueiredo | Charlevoix, MI | January 17, 2008 | Jeff Flake has a sterling record fighting pork in Washington - he is on the taxpayers side - shouldn't we have at least ONE member who will put up a good fight against pork? This may help to restore some measure of credibility to the Republican party as the fiscally conservative choice. |
| Charles Morris | Benton, TN | January 17, 2008 | I believe that fiscal irresponsibility is part of what caused the GOP to lose control of congress..put Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee. |
| William Smith | Woodstock, GA | January 17, 2008 | What a refreshing idea - selecting someone whose philosophy of fiscal responsibility is clear. This would definitely send the right message to Congress, as well as the voters, that the Republican Party really stands for what it says it does. |
| Robin Campbell | Hutto, TX | January 17, 2008 | Dear Congress: It's not YOUR money! Pork belongs on the dinner table, not in every bill that leaves Washington. Fiscal responsibility and Constututional adherence should be your first priority. |
| Brian Richmond | Ft. Mitchell, KY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Wayde Clark | San Diego, CA | January 17, 2008 | Put someone on the committee whose idea of serving his constituents is to be fiscally responsible. |
| Stephen Deters | Saint Charles, MO | January 17, 2008 | The Republican party will continue to lose ground until it returns to its conservative roots. Putting Rep. Jeff Flack on the appropriations committee would be a great step in the right direction. |
| William (Bill) Brown | Franklin, TN | January 17, 2008 | I liked it better when GOP members saw DC as a cesspool. Now that the GOP sees DC as a hot tub they are no better than Democrats. Put Jeff Flake on the House Appropriations Committee and do it now if you are serious about controling spending. |
| DON STERN | Yakima, WA | January 17, 2008 | YES!!Return to fiscal responsibility and limited government principles is the way to regain the trust of the American people!! PREACH IT!! DO IT!! |
| PAMELA EWALD | , WI | January 17, 2008 | I support the Flake effort and urge all to set aside partisanship and special interests to do the same. Ending earmarks is a MUST. The fact that Congress isn't responsible or smart enough to do this on it's own without proding is a tragedy. Pelosi and the Dem majority haven't done so well with their hyped up "ethics" agenda. on 12/31 8,056 earmarks were identified. North Dakota Peace Garden. Montana baseball stadium. Las Vegas history museum. Bike paths. Not now... not with our current fiscal challenges and the state of our failing infrastructure. |
| Mary Burton | Salem, VA | January 17, 2008 | We need to stop trying to out-liberal the liberals. Get control of spending! |
| Helen G Brown B-205 | Willow Street, PA | January 17, 2008 | We need to put an end to all pork barrel spending. A million here and a billion there and pretty soon you have a trillion of wasted money to fill a few corrupted pockets. I remember the plea of the guy from Alaska who apparently shamed the congress into voting for the bridge to nowhere. WIMPS! |
| Robert Shanor | Troy, MI | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Richard H. Herndon | Lahoma, OK | January 17, 2008 | These people are wondering how they lost in 06. The problem is they lost creditability with all of their iresponsible spending. If they would return to basics they can win the vote. I still am voting republican but I have to hold my nose on some of these people. Thanks, Richard |
| Dolores Parker | Herndon, VA | January 17, 2008 | Please GET SERIOUS about controlling earmarks; appoint Jeff Flake to Appropriations and keep faith with your pledge for fiscal conservatism. |
| martin smith | asheboro, NC | January 17, 2008 | x |
| jo Brockett | golden, CO | January 17, 2008 | make it flake, he is the only one that has any sense. The rest of them can be long gone. |
| STEVE CARTER | RIO RANCHO, NM | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Maureen Jury | Plano, TX | January 17, 2008 | We stand at a crossroads. Do we destroy this republic making government bigger than anything else? Or do we turn it around, aligning with conservative principles? |
| Mike Gozdan | Mt. Laurel, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Brian Perkins | Dallas, TX | January 17, 2008 | I believe in this guy Flake. He gives the rest of the Republicans credibility many don't deserve. |
| Sandra Ale | Fredericksburg, VA | January 17, 2008 | Pork has GOT to stop and it has to stop with Republicans NOW! I am ashamed of my party over this issue. I expect it from Democrats but not conservatives! |
| Lee Arthurs | Jasper, GA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| charles weber | Monroe, NY | January 17, 2008 | We need a no pork kinda guy. |
| James Leggett | Flatwoods, KY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Gary Raju | Chicago, IL | January 17, 2008 | The Republicans lost Congress because they spent like Democrats. It is time for the party to show that they truly beleive in limited government. Appoint Jeff Flake now! |
| Anthony Foti | Westmont, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |

| Anthony Foti | Westmont, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Gary Raju | Chicago, IL | January 17, 2008 | Republicans lost their base by supporting pork barrell spending. It is time to get back to the party's roots of limited government. Appoint Jeff Flake now! |

| Anita Springer | Azle, TX | January 17, 2008 | Appoint Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee. If the Republicans don't start taking responsibility and stop the nonsense you will lose all of your support. |
| Darlene Jenkins | Newport, NC | January 17, 2008 | You need to get rid of the earmarks, or a lot of Republicans will become Independents. The Republican Party has lost its way. |
| Glenys Patrick | Slidell, LA | January 17, 2008 | I believe Jeff Flake is the man we need to bring some sanity to the Appropriations Committee. My trust is with Jeff Flake. Glenys Patrick |
| Charles Presley | Johnson City, TN | January 17, 2008 | Either the Republicans start to control spending or they will lose one very stauch fiscal conservative. |

| Walter Lahmann | Northport, NY | January 17, 2008 | Something must be done to stop the bleeding! Pres. Bush spent too much then the Dems took control of Congress and it got even worse. If Jeff Flake can help stop this, then let's get him on the committee!!! |
| Keith BRown | high point, NC | January 17, 2008 | if there is one congressman that needs to be on a committee it is Mr. Flake. He will be a valuable asset to a part of the government that people in the U.S. hate about government |

| William Burkhardt | South Lyon, MI | January 17, 2008 | John: If you, like I want to see Republicans returned to power in the house and Senate, then appointing Jeff Flake to Appropriations would be a great first step. Let's call the donkeys on their "No More Earmarks" pledge. This would do more good for Good Government than anything I can think of other than ending Gerrymandering. |
| Irene Stupp[le | Wimberley, TX | January 17, 2008 | If the republican party is ever able to get control again, they must select Jeff Flake. I haven't quite given up on the republican party but I am close. The selection of Jeff Flake is critical for me to have any confidence in the party. |
| Bill Laurie | Mesa, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Rep. Jeff Flake should be appointed to House Appropriations Committee to combat the shameless profligate spending by pandering politicians. |
