| Walter M Bennett | Richford, NY | January 17, 2008 | Please stop the spending. it is out of control |
| Donald Baber | Bradenton, FL | January 17, 2008 | We need a man who will hold to our conservative principles. I believe John Flake is the man. |
| Ric & Lou Ann Davis | Scottsdale, AZ | January 17, 2008 | 1/17 Based on our knowledge of the National GOP, there appear to be too many RINOs and, fortunately, Rep. Jeff Flake is NOT one of them. Therefore, to accomplish a functional and assertive GOP, lets start right now with Rep. Flake being appointed to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Mary Jean Schuler | Youngstown, OH | January 17, 2008 | We neeed brakes on the spending. This man can help do that. |
| John Haskamp | Loveland, OH | January 17, 2008 | John, You've done quite well without bringing PORK home to your district. I understand that some areas do not have the luxury of such a large republican base, but please support and encourage the leaders that try to CONSERVE the dollars that are taken from the taxpayers. I don't know Jeff Flake but I am 100 per cent for CUTTING SPENDING. Please also support my rep. Jean Schmidt in her efforts to cut spending!! Thanks, John Haskamp |
| Ken Pyles | Chardon, OH | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Joe Schopen | Las Cruces, NM | January 17, 2008 | This action doesn't come to soon. We're out of control. Put this man to work while we still have (a little) time. |
| Erin Gibson | Carpentersville, IL | January 17, 2008 | Our spending is out of control! Put on the brakes with Jeff Flake! |

| Richard Brown | Phoenix, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Eric Mohr | Seattle, WA | January 17, 2008 | With all the meaningless talk of "change" in politics these days, Jeff Flake on Appropriations would actually be a real change, with real impact for the better. |
| Louis Scesa | New Milford, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Margie Brodeur | Fort Worth, TX | January 17, 2008 | WE NEED TO GET A GRIP ON SPENDING NOW. A BALANCED BUDGET IS NECESSARY. |
| John Boito | Chandler, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| PETER VILLARROEL | gilbert, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| John Wickett | Harbor Springs, MI | January 17, 2008 | If you want the Republicans to have any chance of recovery-Appoint Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee! |
| DELORES ROCKEY | PEORIA, IL | January 17, 2008 | YOU NEED TO PUT REP. FLAKE ON THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTE. THIS WILL SHOW THE CONSERVATIVES YOU MEAN BUSINSS ABOUT NOT SPENDING OUR MONEY FOR JUNK PROGRAMS. |
| Gr Halpin | Bethlehem, PA | January 17, 2008 | Please appoint Congressman Jeff Flake to the open spot on the Appropriations Committee. |
| Philip Higley | Carmichael, CA | January 17, 2008 | Do the right thing. Appoint Rep. Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |

| Leonard Mead | Westborough, MA | January 17, 2008 | Earmarks are just stealing -- it's got to STOP. |
| Edward Campbell | Selma, AL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| edward matthews | gold canyon, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Simply due to the fact that I'm writing this note tells me that we are being governed by incompetents. How is it possible for congress to have over 1000 earmarks of tthe peoples money. Earmarks is just the way for congress to steel the peoples money without being arrested for a crime. If a more sleazy bunch of Bastards exist They must be on the moon. |
| Debby Leise | West Deptford, NJ | January 17, 2008 | Please do what is right for America. By appointing Mr. Flake you can make a move in the right direction! |
| Joe Tonkovich | Pittsburgh, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Mike Downing | White Bear Lake, MN | January 17, 2008 | Republicans need to get back to being Republicans by minimizing the growth in gov't spending. Getting rid of 75-100% of the earmarks would give the Republican base confidence in our Republican leadership in Congress. Put Rep. Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Committee! |
| Gerald Scott | Maysville, MO | January 17, 2008 | Please appoint Congressman Jeff Flake to the open spot on the Appropriations Committee. Stop the wasteful spending of America's hard earned tax dollars. |
| Laura Dolly | Panama City, FL | January 17, 2008 | Stop the pork!!! |
| John Forsberg | Cooper City, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Tim Heisler | Albuquerque, NM | January 17, 2008 | Stop earmarks and all pork projects. Term limits too! |
| Michael Prasinos | Niles, IL | January 17, 2008 | Rep. Flake will expose porkers that waste taxpayer money. In order to regain the trust of American citizens, the Republican Party must repudiate wasteful spending. Mr. Flake will lead the charge and see to it that it happens. |
| David Farrell | St. Louis, MO | January 17, 2008 | America needs Rep.Jeff Pike on the House Appropriations Committee. Let's make it happen ! |
| RIichard Burgess | Edgewater, FL | January 17, 2008 | Someone needs to get a GRIP on this wasteful spending. The only earmarks we should see are for bridges like I-35 to prevent disasters (we know this must be done) - but 99% of the rest of it is NOT NEEDED!! "LET FLAKE PUT THE BRAKES ON THE PORK BARREL EXPRESS!" |
| Grant Hirst | Eliot, ME | January 17, 2008 | If the Republican party is serious about ending earmarks and regaining the trust of the American people, it would send such a signal to the people if Jeff Flake is appointed to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Gordon Schwarzer | LaBelle, FL | January 17, 2008 | Banning earmarks totally, until such time that the budget is balanced. After that all earmarks must be submitted in one bill. Subject to Presidential veto... If this isn't liked by the Congress Vote The Bastards OUT... |
| Jary Dailey | Denver, CO | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Nelson Walker | Saratoga, CA | January 17, 2008 | Make it Flake !!! |

| Mary Hubbard | Lake Stevens, WA | January 17, 2008 | Appoint Congressman Flake, he fights against waste and excessive spending. |
| beverly shults | Medford, OR | January 17, 2008 | Please put Jeff Flake On the Commitee to stop the wasteful spending I can't believe what people are asking money from the Goverment for. What is wrong with Congress giving it to them.Maybe those in Congress need to be weeded out also. Sincerly, Mrs.B Shults |
| Marc Burningham | Layton, UT | January 17, 2008 | The Republican party needs to make a solid shift back to the right. Rep. Flake on the House Appropriations Committee sounds like a good start. |
| Peter Formica | Slingerlands, NY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ted Farmer | Mesa, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Being an Ariz resident,I have watched Rep. Flake for many years. I wish we could clone him and place his clone in every district. The Republican party would not be a minority if more Republicans would adopt his fiscal values. Definitely needs to be on the committee. |
| Jennie Brick | Sunnyvale, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |

| Donald Bice | Los Lunas, NM | January 17, 2008 | Flake is the right guy for this job. He fights for the people and against waste. Get the Republican Party back on track before we all abandom it. |
| Holly Carr | Newton, NJ | January 17, 2008 | Either the Republicans show they are serious or they will remain the minority party indefinitely!! |
| Richard May | Manhattan Beach, CA | January 17, 2008 | Since my present feeling is that using "responsible" and "politician" in the same sentence is at least an oxymoron and at most a travesty on the English language, which some of us still speak, anything we can do to bring less waste to the process is in the right direction. I vote...and I affect how many others in my church, neighborhood, and service organizations vote....and I'm watching...and acting on the actions I see. NOT the words. Blessings. RMay |
| George and Theresa Crotts | North Bend, WA | January 17, 2008 | A good beginning. Bring back the Contract with America and the spirit that accompanied it. |
| James Krohn | Omaha, NE | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Douglas Mains | Augusta, MI | January 17, 2008 | We need to return the Republican Party to the values of Ronald Reagan that attracted so many of us to the GOP in the first place. Flake represents a return to the principles of fiscal responsibility and limited government that are so close to our conservative hearts and minds. |
| Robert Geohagan | Conroe, TX | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Sallois Gardner | Forest Lake, MN | January 17, 2008 | Yes, we need to be much more fiscally responsible and Rep. Flake would be a good addition to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Douglas Mains | Augusta, MI | January 17, 2008 | We need to return the Republican Party to the values of Ronald Reagan that attracted so many of us to the GOP in the first place. Flake represents a return to the principles of fiscal responsibility and limited government that are so close to our conservative hearts and minds. |
| Dave Schroder | Friday Harbor, WA | January 17, 2008 | A good first step. Can you do it? |
| Margaret Swanson | Holdrege, NE | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Charles Temm JR | Salem, AL | January 17, 2008 | Try getting serious for once Republican Party! You lost in 2006 because you were no different than the Dems...You want Libertarians like myself who will vote for Repubs when a good one comes along? If you do want that and the hundreds of thousands of disgusted Repubs and Dems out here to support you, start by showing you do mean change! Put Flake in there! |
| Eric Schaefer | Gilbert, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Our District sent Jeff Flake to Congress because he is a true fiscal conservative. Put him where he will do the most good, on the Appropriations Committee! |
| Robert Boone | Corydon, IN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Carolyn Clements | Jackson, TN | January 17, 2008 | We need desperately to put a conservative member on this important committee. Republicans need to return to fiscal responsibility and fight to achieve less government and regulated business. |
| Paul Kearns | Stone Mountain, GA | January 17, 2008 | It's time to put up or shut up. We need to reign in spending. Enough of the earmarks,pork or whatever you want to call it-it's wasteful spending. There's enough pork to handle a lot of real problems. |
| John Bails | Clifton, VA | January 17, 2008 | This is a good move towards conservative governing! |
| Thomas King | linwood, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Christopher Murdock | Calais, ME | January 17, 2008 | Honorable Leader Boehner: Sir, I am an 100% service-connected disabled veteran of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps. I am also a lifelong Republican. I am greatly distressed at the party's long abandonment of Reagan conservatism. I fully support Rep. Jeff Flake's elevation to the House Appropriations Committee, where a true fiscal conservative will have a chance to turn the tide of big-government spending and fiscal irresponsibility. Please support this good conservative public servant in his quest to "get back to basics" with the troubling specter of a failing economy looming. Thank You. |
| Carole Vohs | Valley, WA | January 17, 2008 | NO MORE EARMARKS! Get the line item veto back. Stop the liberals from their spend, spend, spend agenda and make this counyry fiscally sound again. Take away the loopholes of easy money for those in congress that are dishonest and try to make themselves look good. I am sick of this big mouth congress!!! |
| Wayne Lance | Bakersfield, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Harrison Kimbrell | Columbia, SC | January 17, 2008 | Spending is out of control. Congressional greed is rampant. Earmaks are a disgaace..... give us responsible government. |
| Bryce Jorgensen | Blacksburg, VA | January 17, 2008 | Please. It isn't your money it's ours...stop the earmarks and cut taxes. |

| eileen grieb | tabernacle, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dianemarie Collins | Reno, NV | January 17, 2008 | We need to stop the overspending of Congress. When people say "let the goverment (meaning federal) pay for it" - My comment back is "Who do you think 'We the people' are?" It's not federal money, it's mine and I don't want to spend it like this. |
| Frank A. Klemser | Hampton, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| john turner | new bern, NC | January 17, 2008 | My idea is that those Congressional Reps. that "Earmark" should have dollar amounts involved subtracted from their pay, pensions, and campaign funds. Seems to me that those folks have totally forgotten that tar and feathers still exist! A Republican voter for the past 50 years, John Turner |
| Lois Greene | Lakeland, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Adam Katz Katz | Middletown, CT | January 17, 2008 | Make it Flake |
| CT Froscher | Fernandina Beach, FL | January 17, 2008 | I will not vote to reelect any incumbent who sponsors any earmarks. I have so informed my Representative. |
| David Rush | Lincoln Park, MI | January 17, 2008 | Congressman Boehner, I would hope that as a Republican, you would realize that your position as a representative of the people (and not just the people of your district), that part of your job is to be a guardian of the treasury. We are beholden to foreign interests because of all the uncontrolled spending. STOP THINKING THAT ALL OF OUR TAX MONEY BELONGS TO YOUR OWN FIEFDOMS!!!!!!!!David Rush |
| William Bosch | Fl, FL | January 17, 2008 | I think it's a no-brainer |

| R.J. Koon | El Paso, TX | January 17, 2008 | Dear Representative Bonner, The Republican Party has surpassed the Democrats in their ability to squander taxpayer money. If you don't take immediate action now by supporting Rep. Flake there is no longer a need for your party to exist! |
