| Hugh Thomson Sr | Media, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Michael Dennen | Raleigh, NC | January 17, 2008 | This is the kind of action that will help the republicans in spite of themselves. Jeff is one of the few who still remembers what we put them there to do... Bravo! |
| Al Morgan | Myrtle Beach, SC | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Phil Mazur | Lake Bluff, IL | January 17, 2008 | STOP THE PROFLIGATE SPENDING!!! |

| Les Gawlik | Reisterstown, MD | January 17, 2008 | More than a century ago, de Tocqueville said that our country would endure until our politicians discovered they could bribe the people with their own money. Please, stop the pork! |
| . . | Omaha, NE | January 17, 2008 | Nothing is going to change until all the scam artists in Washington are kicked to the curb! |
| Barbara Matthews | Franklin,, TN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dee Hershey | Bullhead City, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Jeff Flake is one of the few members of Congress that has the backbone to stand up to excessive spending by his own party and he was throw off of the Judiciary committee for his efforts---by the Republican party! What does that say about the party's resolve for smaller Government and less spending? |
| john mortensen | phoenix, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ephraim J. Stockwell | Estero, FL | January 17, 2008 | I believe Congressman Flake's record makes him the perfect person for this appointment. I heartily add my recomendation. |
| Thomas Alden | Allison Park, PA | January 17, 2008 | We need fiscal restraint now more than ever! |
| Garrett Whiting | Safford, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |

| Margaret Chapman | Sierra Vista, AZ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Jeff Sullivan | Ashburn, VA | January 17, 2008 | This is a powerful opportunity for the Republican Leadership in Congress to prove they are serious about returning to an agenda of limited government principles. |
| Charles Kramer | Odessa, TX | January 17, 2008 | The government is using the "Ponzi Fraud" in that it takes our money and redistributes it. Many, many of these programs and expoenditures are unnecessary. We need to cut waste in every program, especially in Health and Education. |
| David Ozanne | Yakima, WA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Phillip Gaskins | Columbia, KY | January 17, 2008 | If it were only possible I'd see that all governments were disbanded an thrown on the ash heap of time, alas, if it were only possible. But Jeff Flake is a step in the right direction. |
| Rebekah Kodrin | Waco, TX | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Ed Watson | San Diego, CA | January 17, 2008 | Jeff, If you can at all help you have my support. Since 1936 when legislators found out they could buy votes by sending "home" federal money it has continued to grow into the democracy killer of today. ALL are guilty and it must stop to preserve our government as it was meant to be. God speed. |
| Tom Zachary | Cheyenne, WY | January 17, 2008 | John: It's time for the GOP to Cowboy Up!" Put Flake on the Appropriations Committee and show the American people that the GOP can still "walk the walk." |
| Dean Wolf | Fishers, IN | January 17, 2008 | We need responsible conservatives on the appropriations committee. I'm sure that Jeff will fill those shoes. The people of this country are at a tipping point on government spending. We will not tolerate wasteful spending anymore! |
| Janice Jolly | Dayton, MD | January 17, 2008 | We desperately need a fiscal conservative on the Appropriations Committee who will pay attention to the out of control amendments to every bill. Appoint Jeff Flake. |
| Thomas Burdon | Tucson, AZ | January 17, 2008 | It would be fantastic if Jeff Flake could be appointed. And it will be remembered if he is not..... |
| Garth Carlson | Pocatello, ID | January 17, 2008 | In the past I've donated money to the nrcc but have recently stopped and will not donate again until we have members like Rep. Flake on the appropriations committee and the party returns fiscal sanity to the country. |
| Harry Lampe | Jacksonville, FL | January 17, 2008 | We need a Conservative who is one in more than name only! |
| Melissa Stinebaugh | Perry, GA | January 17, 2008 | This man is doing what the public wants! Please help him do the will of the people, and put a stop to the out of control spending! |
| Hank Van Gieson | Fort Myers, FL | January 17, 2008 | There's an economic train wreck coming, probably in my life time--and I'm old! Cutting spending is job#1. Put Jeff Flake on the Appropriations committee, please. |
| Michael Mc Gauran | Bricktown, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Karl Bielefeldt | Huntsville, AL | January 17, 2008 | I used to live in Mr. Flake's district, and I have never been prouder to send someone back to Washington. I wish I could elect his twin here. Nothing would send a stronger message about where conservatives stand than putting him on the Appropriations Committee. |

| LAUREL PARTRICK | new milford, CT | January 17, 2008 | x |
| William Giordano | Schiller Park, IL | January 17, 2008 | Earmarks and fiscal irresponsibility cost you the majority. The American people are fed up with earmarks. If you don't take action to show you're on their side you can look forward to a return of the Bob Michel days of permanent minority status. This is a step in the right direction, take it. |
| WFrank Molinari | Northampton, PA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Mary Swisher | Stone Mountain, GA | January 17, 2008 | Jeff Flake is a known committed fiscal conservative. I can think of no better congressman to put on the Appropriations committee. Please listen to the conservative American voice, and see that Rep. Flake gets this appointment. DITTO the comments of Dean Gay above; I am disgusted with the Republican record in both houses of Congress since we put you in the majority in 1994! |
| Terry Ott | Savannah, GA | January 17, 2008 | Flake would be my second choice for this job. William Proxmire would be number one, but the good Senator is not with us for these many years. It's a shame, and it shows. In this case, pork spending, it is literally true that "if you are not part of the solution, then you ARE (a major) part of the problem. This is NO TIME for business as usual in any aspect of politics. |
| David Carlson | Batavia, NY | January 17, 2008 | Enough is Enough! It's time to get this Government back under control! |

| Joy Neihardt | Wickenburg, AZ | January 17, 2008 | MAKE IT FLAKE, for God's Sake! |
| Sean Hackbarth | Arlington, VA | January 17, 2008 | It's time for the Republican Party to tell the nation it's serious about reducing the size of government and needless federal spending. |

| Shelley Hartman | New York, NY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Thomas Williams | Ocean Isle Beach, NC | January 17, 2008 | The Republicans have left their conservative principles and the voters responded by turning you out of office. America IS conservative - demonstrate that you understand the will of the people NOT Washington or the Liberal Press!!! |
| Laura Berger | Commerce, MI | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Karen Harris | West Bloomfield, MI | January 17, 2008 | Let's hope Jeff Flake will really do what he says he will and not turn into just another greedy & corrupt politician. |
| Ryan Shober | Sandy, UT | January 17, 2008 | It is refreshing to utilize my right to vote for something that I believe will greatly impact the future of our country. Its time for fiscal responsibility. |
| Delmer Sills | HELENDALE, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Dennis and Patti Morton | Tulsa, OK | January 17, 2008 | Please appoint Congressman Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |

| John Stricklen | Fruitland Park, FL | January 17, 2008 | x |
| James Lewis | Alpharetta, GA | January 17, 2008 | Being from Georgia I am not familiar with Jeff Flake, however, if he is a financial conservative we certainly need more of his kind in responsible positions in the Congress! |
| Marilyn Markham | Morgan Hill, CA | January 17, 2008 | Our party has faltered in recent elections because the leadership has abandoned the principles that the grassroots stand for. It is time to reverse this and build up the trust of the people again. Cutting pork would be a major step in that direction. Rep. Jeff Flake has the right idea. |
| Bill Cunningham | Germantown, TN | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Bill Rippy | tifton, GA | January 17, 2008 | It's high time we got spmeone on this committee who knows the danger of pork barrell spending. I highly recommend Rep. Flake. |

| Robert Bechtold | Wildwood, MO | January 17, 2008 | Time to show the folks that you are once more on 'OUR" side-or not! |
| linda jarrett | pinehurst, NC | January 17, 2008 | Dear Representative Boehner-- It certainly sounds as if Rep. Flake is qualified to support a return to fiscal responsibility if he is appointed to the Appropriations Committee in the House. You are entirely correct that a return to traditional GOP values, with emphasis upon fiscal responsibility and limited government, will go a very long way in re-building trust in Congress by the American people. Thank you for your consideration of my opinion-- L.B. Jarrett |
| Frederic solomon | Eagle Rock, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| James Burrow | Gainesville, FL | January 17, 2008 | Make It Flake!!!! He will do an excellent job of restoring confidence in our Republican ideals and demonstrating the commitment of the party to uphold the conservative platform. |
| susan brown | dallas, TX | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Richard Zander | Buffalo, WY | January 17, 2008 | We need to get back to fiscal responsibility. Thousands of earmarks (taxation) with no accountibility (representation) go against what our founding fathers fought for. We cannot continue to spend what we do not have. |
| Michael Meek | Princeville, HI | January 17, 2008 | At this point in time "limited government" seems to mean to Republican politicians growth in government just shy of what the Democrats advocate. Consequently, what is needed now is leadership in favor of downsizing government and stopping growth altogether and in fact reversing it. Government accounting is fraudulent and that must be rectified as well. |
| Jon Stover | Nokomis, FL | January 17, 2008 | at least use a Q-tip to get rid of all the earmarks... |
| Raymond A. Quesnel | Toms River, NJ | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Michael Semcheski | Ocean City, NJ | January 17, 2008 | It's all about spending! |
| Jim Cookman | Mesa, AZ | January 17, 2008 | Jeff Flake is the Congressman from my district in Arizona, and I am proud of the stand he has taken against wasteful spending. He needs to be appointed to this committee. |
| Steven Kuschel | Moreno Valley, CA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Rosemary & Bill Laxson | Beavercreek, OH | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Marilyn Squire | Milwaukee, WI | January 17, 2008 | Getting rid of earmarks, a monumental waste of our money, is long overdue. Jeff Flake would be a giant step forward in attempting to end this boondoggle. |
| Michael LaNoue | Denver, CO | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Billy Estes | Paducah, KY | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Thomas S. Hogan, Sr. | Brooksville, FL | January 17, 2008 | We MUST regain control of frivolous spending (Republicans in Washington have disgraced us long enough). Our tax money should use for necessary services only. |
| Jenifer O'Connor | State College, PA | January 17, 2008 | As a supporter of fiscal responsibility I support Jeff Flake for the Appropriations Committee. |
| Alan Preisser | Hampton, VA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Travis Lovelady | Hays, KS | January 17, 2008 | Government spending must get under control. We must cut taxes and reel in spending. |
| JUDITH JOHNSON | LANCASTER, VA | January 17, 2008 | UNLESS WE STREAMLINE THIS "BEHEMOTH" AKA THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IT WILL DRAG US ALL DOWN WITH TOGETHER. NO MORE EARMARKS! JUST ELIMINATE THEM. ANYTHING A CONGRESSMAN NEEDS FOR HIS/HER CONSTITUENTS MUST GO THROUGH THE REGULAR FUNDING PROCESS, WHATEVER THAT IS. AND THAT SHOULD BE SIMPLIFIED TOO. ABOVE ALL, TRANSPARENCY SHOULD PREVAIL. |
| Marlene Celia | No. Easton, MA | January 17, 2008 | x |
| Bob Iocca | Wimauma, FL | January 17, 2008 | We need to regain our position as the party of fiscal restraint, by reducing spending as well as cutting taxes. In the last few election cycles I told voters that if they elected Republicans they would see spending cuts and lower taxes. They keep reminding me that they are still waiting to see the spending cuts! |
