| Name | City | Date | Comments |
| Libby Nasche | Overland Park, KS | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Kevin Jendro | Monticello, MN | January 17, 2008 | Congressman Flake is exactly the person we need to restore some fiscal responsibilty to us Republicans. |
| Darryl Davison | Washington, IA | January 17, 2008 | It's the economy, stupid! Time to get smarter about the economy...that starts with Jeff Flake helping reign in gov't. vote buying, agenda furthering, pork, (a 4-letter word!) and unconstitutional spending! Let's do it!!! |
| Kevin Wolff | Queen Creek, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Gene & Karen Cline | Hunker, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| H. J. Bronson | Wyoming, MI | January 17, 2008 | If the Republican "leadership" refuses to return to fiscal responsibility it does not deserve our support. The best immediate demonstration of a rreturn to fiscal legitimacy is to appoint Mr. Flake. |
| David Lyons | Huntington Station, NY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| W. Wirt Ludwick | Harahan, LA | January 17, 2008 | Perhaps a position on the Appropriations Committee will allow Rep. Jeff Flake to remind fellow members that the money they waste on "special interest earmarks" is OUR MONEY, mine and yours! |
| Kenneth Martin | Southport, NC | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Carl Pollard | Sea Level, NC | January 17, 2008 | The Republicans brought this on them selves. I'm a die hard conservative, not a Republican. From the President on down everyone has spent money like it was going out of style. We were promised, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Nothing else. Does anyone believe in The Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights and the Constitution anymore? |
| Roger Charles | Fort Pierce, FL | January 17, 2008 | ITS ABOUT TIME THAT REPUBLICANS SHOW WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF |
| Robert Paulick | Irvine, CA | January 17, 2008 | We must be willing to stand out and be different than the usual 'spend' crowd in Congress. Representative Flake is willing to do that and so I support him to fill this slot on the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Bob Burman | Martinez, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Richard Klein | Plano, TX | January 17, 2008 | It is vital to do this if the Conservative Agenda is to survive. I vote Republican because they, the party of Regan, is viewed as conservative, at least until now. We must get back to Regan and we must do it now before the next election. |
| Alan Kison | Scottsdale, AZ | January 17, 2008 | If any project/program cannot stand on its own merits and must be hidden as "PORK" it SHOULD BE THROWN OUT. Jeff Flake can help bring common sense back to discussions which is needed on this committee. |
| Tyler Birt | Wheaton, IL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dan and Sharon Alfonsi | Ramona, CA | January 17, 2008 | Yes, DO IT, Republicans...or pay another price. |
| Janet Brandon | Merritt Island, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| John Greschaw | Statesville, NC | January 17, 2008 | The Republican Party should fight against wasteful and excessive spending, and improve oversight, by appointing Congressman Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Bill Reinhart | Little River, SC | January 17, 2008 | We need strong willed politicians and I believe Representative is the man that fits the bill and should be on the appropriation committee. |
| Ilene & Robert Andrews | Nashville, TN | January 17, 2008 | Please, please, please, before it's too late, appt. FLAKE! |
| Joe Parks | Brevard, NC | January 17, 2008 | One would think that even Republicans living in the "D.C. bubble" could figure out the widespread discontent within the Republican Party. The Republican controlled Congress did such harm to our party that it is taking years to repair. Their actions have cost our party control of Congress and probably the Presidency. You have no to blame but yourselves. WAKE UP and become Republicans again! |
| Roseanne Conforto | Las Vegas, NV | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Scott Carstens | Carrollton, TX | January 17, 2008 | I support Rep. Flake for the Appropriations Committee. It's high time we had some sanity in our spending practices. |
| Nancy Robertshaw | Taylors, SC | January 17, 2008 | I think Jeff Flake would be a great choice. |
| steve selinger | LOS ANGELES, CA | January 17, 2008 | Republicans need to reclaim their brand identity as being for limited government and limited spending; Jeff Flake will help do that; please make sure he gets on the Appropriation Committee. |
| Larry Lane Jr. | West Lafayette, IN | January 17, 2008 | The Republican party lost our majority in 2006, and rightfully so. We were clearly not the party of fiscal responsibility that we had claimed to be. We either get our act together now, or the country will accelerate its slide into the morass of unchecked liberalism. We either believe in our Constitution, as it is written, or we don't. Put Jeff Flake on the Appropriations committee to show that at least some of our leaders still believe. |
| Vance Fox | Reno, NV | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Don Gillen | Belleville, IL | January 17, 2008 | Fiscal responsibility should start with elimination of earmarks by irresponsible senators who buy votes with the largess of the public treasury. Hogs at the public trough of funds include John Murtha and Bob (Pecker-Head) Byrd, who annually pillage our treasury for their own aggrandizement. |
| Robert Covey | Sun City Center, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Carolyn J Burtchaell | Homerville, GA | January 17, 2008 | As All Above |
| john Benzel | Cheboygan, MI | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Victor DeMichieli | Noblesville, IN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Pam Schmidt | Kingwood, TX | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Kristina Haskins | Centenial, CO | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dean Byrne | Medford Lakes, NJ | January 17, 2008 | Smaller Government...a must, personal economic resposibilty...no "bail outs", take America back to a producing/creditor not consumer/debtor!! Jeff Flake...a start!! |
| John Reed | Centennial, CO | January 17, 2008 | We must have more restraint on government spending. Any congressman that spends tax money to buy votes should be removed from office by the same voters thatare being bought. |
| Jim & Rosemary Coleman | Boerne, TX | January 17, 2008 | The time is NOW! Jeff Flake is the right person for the right position right NOW! Show our leadership and appoint him to Appropriations NOW! |
| Len Lynch | Lees Summit, MO | January 17, 2008 | I personally think it is wishfull thinking that one man can reign in this bunch of thieves and liars, but why not take the chance as we don't seem to have any other. |
| Perry Davis | Hendersonville, TN | January 17, 2008 | Appointing Rep Flake to the Appropriations Committee would begin to change the directions of the Republican party. Right now you cannot tell the Republican from the Democrat. Seem like each one is trying to our spend each other. Show us that you are concerned about the voter not your position in congress. |
| Oliver W ROLFE | Kerrville, TX | January 17, 2008 | Every single earmark has to be STOPPED; the populace has to regain control of Congress. And the appointment of Representative Flake is a good beginning. |
| Donald A. Dvorak | Des Plaines, IL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Alan HAWK | Monrovia, MD | January 17, 2008 | Rep Flake would be an outstanding member to this committee and would help repair the reputation of the Republican Party with its base and with the American people. He would help control spending to help protect the economy. |
| Kent Brooksby | Lakeside, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Kurt Bester | Saint Paul, MN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Charles Wright | Vadnais Heights, MN | January 17, 2008 | Please take this opportunity to appoint Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. Mr. Flake's record of fiscal conservatism, and his efforts to end egregious earmarks from federal legislation, recommend him for the position. |
| Sam Mayo | Snellville, GA | January 17, 2008 | If Republicans do believe in fiscal conservatism, Jeff Flake is the answer to provide Appropriations Committee the muscle to do what we say we believe in. Please vote for Jeff Flake! Sam Mayo Atlanta, Ga. |
| Becket Hinckley | Cheyenne, WY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Diane McCutchen | Peachtree City, GA | January 17, 2008 | Republicans squandered their opportunity to downsize government and stop spending when they had the presidency and both the Senate and House. Please show they mean business now by appointing Rep. Flake to the Appropriations Committee. Thank you. |
| charles may | Dade city, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| William Thomas | San Antonio, TX | January 17, 2008 | We need renewed commitment to fiscally responsible spending and to limiting government before the happy tax and spend crowd in Congress destroys what remaining conservative influence we have. |
| Patricia Cottrill | Manassas, VA | January 17, 2008 | It is time for new blood; time for reform. We need to stop the pork spending, stop funding the special intererests and pet projects of individual elected officials. Its time to get back to the conservative principles of the Republican party. |
| Robert Smith | Bradford, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Marcia Henning | LaPorte, IN | January 17, 2008 | We need less government and I believe Jeff Flake would help in this matter. |
| kathleen potterfield | Staten Island, NY | January 17, 2008 | Conservative or liberal it won't make much difference in the effect on the people of this country if we do not stem overspending. Politicians using pork barrel spending to reinforce their voters may be surprised to find out that people do really care more about the fiscal well being of this country than some silly project. We have some serious problems that need to be addressed. Rep Flake sounds like a good start to me. Lets get serious about financial responsibility. Lessening our government agencies is a good first step fiscally as well as keeping governments nose out of families personal business is what this country has always stood for until recent years. |
| Linda Kenney | Lincoln, DE | January 17, 2008 | Please give serious consideration to Jeff Flake's appointment to the Appropriations Committee. I am so weary of bills padded with so much pork that even our lawmakers have no time to review the items before the bill is signed. The "Omnibus bill passed just before the holiday recess was simply stellar! |
| Michael True | Colorado Springs, CO | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Don Kent | Shadyside, OH | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Rodger Yoder | Summerville, SC | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Matthew Knauss | Santa Paula, CA | January 17, 2008 | This is in hopes that Jeff Flake is a man of his word and will follow up with action as many others have not. Let's do all we can to bring this country back to greatness! |
| Richard Hatch | Nampa, ID | January 17, 2008 | Stop the Spending |
| David Ours | Ormond Beach, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Scott Dixon | Laurel, MD | January 17, 2008 | We have to get back to our roots of fiscal responsibility and stopping pork is a big first step. |
| Steven Kirkman | Goldsboro, NC | January 17, 2008 | A return to bedrock conservative values will restore to Republicans the right to lead. |
| Ken Lockhart | Old Hickory, TN | January 17, 2008 | I often wonder how it is possible for our leaders in the Republican Party to be so out of touch with the grassroots. I am basically an independent, as is the majority of my acquaintances, who believes in what the Republican Party supposedly represents. It is past time to get back to those tenets that have served Republicans quite well, such as limited government, lower taxes, and spending restraint. If that does not happen, I'm afraid Republicans will be doomed to remain the minority party for years to come. It is time to put people like Jeff Flake in control of the purse strings. |
| B Morrison | Jacksonville, FL | January 17, 2008 | Fiscal responsibility is the first step to getting this government back to the point that we can say "WE THE PEOPLE" and actually feel like it means anything. Read the Declaration of Independence. OUR representatives are so far away from the founding documents and THE PEOPLE that it is frightening. THE PEOPLE better be vigilant at this most crucial time and make the right decisions, even ONE individual in the right place matters. |
| Donna Lawson | Lebanon, MO | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Wm. A. "Bill" Fisher | Edmond, OK | January 17, 2008 | Unlike so many of the other "Flakes" in the GOP who are more interested in their political careers than in upholding the conservative principles that put them into office, Jeff Flake IS who we need for our Country's good to be serving on the Appropriations Committee, indeed as the Ranking Member of that Committee! |
| Daniel Hewett | Milwaukee, WI | January 17, 2008 | I agree that our Republican leadership should appoint Representative Jeff Flake to the appropriations committee as a BEGINNING toward regaining our position as the party of small government, more freedom, less spending, and lower taxes. However, it is only the beginning and MUST be followed up by returning both the House of Representatives and the Senate to true conservatives principles. Only then will they regain our trust and control of our government. |
| Eula and Dave Seyda | Tierra Verde, FL | January 17, 2008 | Everybody these days is talking about change, so make this the first big change of the New Year and appoint Rep. Flake to the committee, we need the help. |
| william baker | newark, OH | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ken Huffaker | Higgins Lake, MI | January 17, 2008 | Jeff Flake may just be the man to help get control of our runaway Congress' over spending.It's time for Washington to get over it's love for irresponsibility and childish attitude about their jobs.It's time to return to Patriotism in the Federal Government.Let's start with Jeff Flake. |
| Catherine Willis | Nashville, TN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| jim leatherman | dayton, OH | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Henry and Margaret Tipton | Sarasota, FL | January 17, 2008 | Someone needs to cut spending by the congress, we as citizens cannot be expected to foot the bill for 12-20 million illeagals and not start to raise hell about all of the outgo from our pockets into these people that are lswbreakers . Let us end it now. |
| Randy Marchello | Phoenix, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Jeff has proven his dedication to this effort. He is the right man for the job!! |
| Arthur Winans | Florence, TX | January 17, 2008 | stop wasteful spending. |
| Barry Wood | Richland, WA | January 17, 2008 | This is a time for courage. Jeff Flake represents the principled future of the party. |

| Craig Douglas | Strongsville, OH | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Joseph Thomas | GARLAND, TX | January 17, 2008 | Earmarks say Republicans are self-serving and undeserving to be representatives. I'll just sit on the sidelines and wait for honorable Republicans or a new political party. |
| Clyde Perry | Nicholasville, KY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Nancy Jett | Beaverdam, VA | January 17, 2008 | With great hopes to rein in spending and stop earmarks. Please spend our money wisely and support Jeff Flake |
| Marima Belair | Berlin, NH | January 17, 2008 | Stop the pork barreling, the earmarks, the pet projects and attend to the business of governing. Close up all those loop holes. Spend all that government money as though it's coming out of your very own pocket! |
| Michael White | Fullerton, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dennis Straw | Vero Beach, FL | January 17, 2008 | just do it ! |
| Joseph Thomas | GARLAND, TX | January 17, 2008 | Earmarks say Republicans are self-serving and undeserving to be representatives. I'll just sit on the sidelines and wait for honorable Republicans or a new political party. |
| Steven Jorden | Kirksville, MO | January 17, 2008 | We certainly need someone in our Capital who knows how to limit our rediculous amount of spending, which is otherwise going to destroy our economy!! I strongly support Rep Jeff Flake for this critical position! |
| Jeffrey Smith | Hartford, CT | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Frank Buzzard | Bryan, TX | January 17, 2008 | It is way past time to STOP EXCESSIVE Government spending and reign in the WASTEFUL pork spending that may help the individual congressman, but is heading our country to a fiscal trainwreck. Jeff Flake is a fiscal conservative who can help lead the Republican party back to LESS government and LOWER spending in the Appropriations Committee. |

| George Butler | Forsyth, GA | January 17, 2008 | The GOP needs to return to being conservatives or they will loose more supporters than they have so far. We need smaller govt. not larger and more of our money back in our hands and not your pockets. |
| William Caudle | Kernersville, NC | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Thomas Woods | St Joseph, MO | January 17, 2008 | The Hastert/Lott leadership led in totally the wrong direction.....devastating the Reagan momentum. The new leadership must effect a 180 degree turnaround and Congressman Flake on the committee would be a great cog in the wheel of change. |
