|
| Name | City | Date | Comments |
| Daniel King | Knoxville, TN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Douglas McCullough | Opelika, AL | January 17, 2008 | Fiscal responsibility on the hill is long over due. Get Flake in there and reassure us that the Republican Party is truly serious about cutting this crazy spending. |
| James Braccio | Panama City Beach, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| James Smith | Largo, FL | January 17, 2008 | It is long past the time for our Party to step up and exert some real leadership in controlling runaway spending. Appointing Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee would be a big step in this direction. |
| Leona Porter | Carson City, NV | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Richard Baxter | Encinitas, CA | January 17, 2008 | It's not just the soul of the Republican Party at stake here. It's the soul of the country itself. Please, appoint Mr. Flake! |
| Sandra Haun | Larned, KS | January 17, 2008 | I support Jeff Flake for this committee. |
| Walter Lastig | Kingston, NY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ralph Harder | Jackson, CA | January 17, 2008 | Congress has to drastically reduce spending. Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Com. will help. |
| Barbara Ferris | Greensburg, IN | January 17, 2008 | Appointing Rep. Jeff Flake to the Appropriations Committee is a golden opportunity for the Republican leadership to lead the way back from out-of-control and irresponsible spending to sound and responsible spending in Congress. Jeff Flake is a courageous and principled representative. |
| Sue Turner | , TX | January 17, 2008 | No more earmarks! All spending by congress should be transparent. |
| Bill Poupore | Moses Lake, WA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| John Eger | Winona, MN | January 17, 2008 | I support Jeff Flake for this committee appointment! |
| Pat Gibson | Boonville, IN | January 17, 2008 | Taxpayers are tired of the irresponsible spending of their tax dollars. We need to hold our government accountable for the way our money is spent. |
| Matt Romney | Alpine, UT | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Judith Holmes | Elk Grove, CA | January 17, 2008 | With spending in Washington out of control and those rediculous pork barrel projects, we need someone who can take hold and show conservatives that we are returning to our true values of less spending, less government and responsibility. We have gotten as irresponsible as the Democrats and this is not acceptable. Do the right thing and choose Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations committe. It is that simple!! |
| Victor Grazier | Beavercreek, OH | January 17, 2008 | Let's be about the business of cutting out pork spending, and the time is now! |
| Karl Peterjohn | Wichita, KS | January 17, 2008 | Flake rocks! Add him asap. |
| LynnAnn Wilson | Kingman, AZ | January 17, 2008 | MAKE IT REAL. KILL THE EARMARKS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IF THER IS ANY REAL COMMINTMENT TO DO IT, MAKE IT FLAKE! |
| Mark Morgan | Fort Campbell, KY | January 17, 2008 | The hub-bub about channelling Reagan in this election will never come to pass without fiscal conservatism. One man can make a difference if he and his staffers are willing to pore through reams and reams of congressional proposals to hold accountable those responsible for frivolous spending. Give Flake the reins and see how he does. After this year's pork laden, omnibus spending bill, how could anyone do worse? |
| Betsy Clark | Jacksonville, FL | January 17, 2008 | A free and open society should not have opportunities for its poleticians to spend the people's hard earned dollars in secret. We need to hold them accountable by getting rid of the pork and ending the practice of last-minute earmarks being attached to bills. Taxpayers deserve to know who is spending their money and on what. |
| Jr. William H. Weiss | Virginia Beach, VA | January 17, 2008 | This country needs to get a handle on fiscal responsibility. The Republicans need to assume that leadership role by giving this issue more than rhetoric. Putting a man of action in this important position is a great first step. |
| Michel P. Clark | Milton, DE | January 17, 2008 | It's time to get serious about spending.This is one of my major concerns and the Republican Party needs to step up. |
| Frieda Bowman | Kokomo, IN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| John Richmond | Granbury, TX | January 17, 2008 | We need not only one Fiscal Conservative on the appropriations committee but EVERY Republican position should be a Fiscal Conservative. If Republicans want to know why they were booted out of control of Congress it was the reversion to Democrat spending. Mr Boehner we support your decision to put Fiscal Conservative on this committee. |
| Robert Waldron | Celina, OH | January 17, 2008 | Its time to stop runaway spending and Jeff Flake will be a strong supporter of spending restraint |
| Doris Carender | Bremerton, WA | January 17, 2008 | Mr. Boehner, we lost Congress in 2006 and are on the verge of losing the White House in 2008 because of the failure of a Republican majority and a Republican President to keep faith with our fiscal principles. We must stop the hemorrhaging of public monies. |
| Earl Allison | Temple, TX | January 17, 2008 | This country, at this time, can not afford Republican's losing another election and more members of Congress. To keep that from happening Congress must listen to the American people's message on "earmarks". That message, as I hear it is to kill them. I have communicated this to my Congressman, Judge Carter, an appropriator. |
| Michael Husk | Clovis, CA | January 17, 2008 | LET'S GIVE JEFF FLAKE A CHANCE TO CUT OUT-OF-CONTROL CONGRESSIONAL SPENDING! |
| Jim Full | Marblehead, MA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Georgia Grant | Gurnee, IL | January 17, 2008 | As a Conservative Independent I would like for the Republican Party to show me that they are serious about reform. This appointment can be a first step. |
| Donald Harlacker | Dover, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Richard Hansen | Fremont, CA | January 17, 2008 | Since the Republicans and Democrats have not been able to controll their addiction for PORK, it would be a blessing to see at least one POLITICIAN have self control. |
| Jim Dudek | Peoria, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Joseph W Brady Jr & Family | hartland, VT | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Analee Husk | Clovis, CA | January 17, 2008 | Nothing has worked yet to reform Congress from wasteful spending, it's time to work from the inside to try and cut the pork! |
| Bob Wittig | Kokomo, IN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Steven Walker | Rittman, OH | January 17, 2008 | It is time, Mr. Boehner, to put a true conservative in the appropriations committee. We have seen first hand what damage the moderates of the party has done over the past 8 years. There is absolutely no difference, at this time, between the fiscal dealings of the two parties. We must get back to the principals of the Reagan Republicans. |
| JOE BATES | HARVEY, LA | January 17, 2008 | EARMARKS AND SPENDING MUST BE BROUGHT INTO CONTROLL. I SUPPORT A FAIR TAX BILL. |
| gregory terhune | pocono manor, PA | January 17, 2008 | end the earmarks!!! or have each one voted on idividually and in public !!!!! |
| John Hertz | Oviedo, FL | January 17, 2008 | Reverse the tide of incremental socialism. Start with aggressive pursuit & elimination of irresponsible earmarks! Put Rep. Flake on the HAC. Go Jeff Go!! |
| Lynn O'Connor | Grosse Pointe, MI | January 17, 2008 | I hope he can also convince his fellow legislators that earmarks are not the way to get reelected. I am for transparency with all earmarks listed on the internet. |
| Evangeline MacCrone | Huntsville, AL | January 17, 2008 | Republicans, as a party, are on the downward slope to oblivion unless we become the true conservatives in Washington. Stop pork entirely, IT CAN BE DONE! Let's get a Flake in there to help reverse the slide. |
| William W. Brooks Jr. | Rochester, MN | January 17, 2008 | People see that neither party was interested in saving our money in the past few years. Jeff Flake promises to put a brake on earmarks and I love that as a taxpayer. |
| Dan Stewart | West Chester, PA | January 17, 2008 | The reason I have stopped contributing to any "National Republican Committee for..." anything is that our elected representatives simply waste too much of my money already! If you want to regain the trust of grassroots supporters like me, you must return to conservative economic principles and the pursuit of limited government. Jeff Flake does that and for that reason, you need to appoint him to this position as a sign of good faith on your part. |
| Nick Hofland | TAYLOR, WI | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ben Wilder | Sarasota, FL | January 17, 2008 | The first step toward fiscal resonsibility is to strip off the first layer of fat.viz: EARMARKS |
| Mikel Jackson | Sierra Vista, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Let's put a stop to earmarks. This is just vote buying. |
| Diane Johnson | Denton, TX | January 17, 2008 | x |
| James Ryel | Surprise, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| ROBERT TYLER | BEND, OR | January 17, 2008 | Here is a wonderful opportunity for the republicans to put their money where their mouth is! Jeff Flake has demonstrated that he fully understands what the Republican Party stands for - Fiscal Responsibility to the Citizens of the United States of America! |
| Warren Rhyner | Altoona, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Rose Marie Maierle | Lexington, SC | January 17, 2008 | x |
| juliet konieczny | amsterdam, NY | January 17, 2008 | I AM FOR ANYONE WHO CAN PUT A STOP TO WASTEFUL SPENDING OF OUR HARD EARNED MONEY...GOOD LUCK... |
| Eric Chambers | Dedham, MA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| James Hemerson | Mesa, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Paul Rinderle | Fairfax, VA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Joyce Hamilton | Tooele, UT | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Paulette Spaay | Hudson, FL | January 17, 2008 | If the people still went by the Constitution, there would be no need for earmarks. If the power had stayed with the states according to the Constitution, NO state would be begging in Washington to get their state's tax money back! |
| Dave Koch | Little Elm, TX | January 17, 2008 | It is time for or Politician's to be made accoutable for their action's, or vote someone in that wants changes. |
| Roy Daughtrey | Willow Street, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| John Sawyers | Amarillo, TX | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ken Saunders | Purchase, NY | January 17, 2008 | PLEASE APPOINT JEFF FLAKE TO THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. Stop the waste. Stand up for the American taxpayer and the sound principals of the true Republican Party. Return to Barry Goldwater's mandate of small government and lower taxes for all. We lost control of Congress in 2006 because you forgot the reason the people sent you there. Stand up for what is right, and if you can't, then get out of the way and let someone who can live by these principals take your place. |
| Richard Scharninghausen | North Stonington, CT | January 17, 2008 | Conservatism before Party. Conservatism THE founding principle. |
| Patrick Cameron | Fultondale, AL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Tom Bann | Sterling Heights, MI | January 17, 2008 | We're way overdo in making a positive step in getting some legitiment controls on this out of control Pork spending! Enough of these false claims on eliminating the Pork! Now is the time to take some realistic steps to putting this in action, now!!!! |
| Vinton H. Jewell | Doylestown, OH | January 17, 2008 | Republicans are supposedly the party of honesty..Support FLAKE for honesty AND to stopping the "PORK" (ie theft in Office)that seems to be rampant in both parties. |
| Paulette Kennamer | Lake Panasoffkee, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Edie Harris | Adrian, MI | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Gary Johnson | Canton, SD | January 17, 2008 | Why haven't I heard of Rep. Jeff Flake before? It's about time I hear another voice in DC take about limited government. Thank you!! |
| Cynthia Conley | Destin, FL | January 17, 2008 | We need fiscally conservative leadership in Washington now. November brings much at stake. |
| Janice Bewley | Hammond, IN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dave Chamberlain | Livonia, MI | January 17, 2008 | My support of any Republican depends on a return to true conservatism. |
| Pamala Long | Alvarado, TX | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Wilson Gregory | Houston, TX | January 17, 2008 | Its The Republican leaderships turn to let conservative Republicans know they are serious about cutting spending, cutting taxes and reducing the size of the Federal Government. Conservative Republicans then can decide if they will financially support the Republican Leadership or if they are still just a bunch of go along RINO's undeserving of our support. Until we see Congressmen like Jeff Flake elevated to leadership my money still goes to "Club For Growth" where I know it WILL make a difference for real change in Washington DC. |
| Paul Delzell | La Crescenta, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Carl Huth | Reno, NV | January 17, 2008 | x |
| John Camb | Fair Lawn, NJ | January 17, 2008 | It's time to exercise some self control and push away from the pork dinner. Otherwise the DEMs might as well have all the seats. What you do now will have a big influence in November! |
| Richard Branson | Arcadia, CA | January 17, 2008 | It is time for the congressional republicans to live up to their retoric and walk the walk instead of just talking about fiscal responsiblity. |
| jim agnew | Boone, IA | January 17, 2008 | Get the drugs out of the legislature. |
| Frank Matecki | West Chester, PA | January 17, 2008 | It's time to get back to true conservative principles - less spending, smaller government. |
| Thomas Young | Fairport, NY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ann Dingmann | St. Cloud, MN | January 17, 2008 | We need to get back to true conservatism if we are going to keep the presidency and regain the House and Senate. |
| Michael Bangert | Boston, MA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ron Reed | Woodstock, GA | January 17, 2008 | As far as I can see,congress has become drunk with power and out of touch with the people.I know it makes you folks feel good when you spend a few million on a new museum or concert park,especially if has your name on it.However,most of us working people would rather see better roads,bridges and more public transportation.Stop wasting our money..... |
| Albert M. Bryson | Parkesburg, PA | January 17, 2008 | It would be good to have a representative on the Appropriations Committee who will fight all earmakrs. It times to stop spending money as if it was like water. |
| Cecil Donaho | Mesquite, NV | January 17, 2008 | PORK, the incumbents' vote purchasing scheme. |
| Ron Clamme | Hartford City, IN | January 17, 2008 | Show the country that Republicans are serious about limiting federal spending and those obnoxious earmarks. |
| Joe Southwick | Philadelphia, PA | January 17, 2008 | The congress (republicans and democrats alike)is single handedly responsible for inflicting great harm to our nation by their irresponsible and reckless spending. They have squandered our nation's financial security and will leave to the next generation an already bankrupt and insolvent nation that will take decades to resolve. This is abundantly clear to anyone who will analyze the whole picture of where we stand. Please summon the courage and moral responsibility to address this issue and be honest with the public about what is going on. Future generations are looking to you to save them and our nation from economic ruin--this rhetoric sounds harsh but it is very true. |

| D. F. wetherell | surprise, AZ | January 17, 2008 | I agree with comments made by Robb of Mabank, TX |
