| steven kanner | glendale, AZ | January 15, 2008 | Appointing Rep. Flake to this position, or failure to do so, will make a very important statement about Rep party's committment to fiscal responsibility. While not a resident of his district, I have followed Mr. Flake's career and know his steadfast committment on this issue. Thank you. |

| David Hudson | Lawrence, MI | January 15, 2008 | Democrats didn't take the majority in congress because of Iraq. They won because conservatives like me wanted to teach the Republican Party a lesson about where we stand on personal freedom, big government, and out-of-control spending. Get the hint. |
| Paul Van Stone | Naples, FL | January 15, 2008 | Make it Flake, or we'll likely damage our great country further. |
| Lorraine Rutherfurd | Fallbrook, CA | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Robert F Case | Columbus, OH | January 15, 2008 | John Boehner might be the most attractive future Republican leader. I hope he doesn't undermine his own prospects by abdicating responsible endorsements, such as that of Jeff Flake. |
| Doug Knoles | Mesa, AZ | January 15, 2008 | Dear Representative Boener, Please join me and millions of Americans who desire to cut wasteful spending everywhere. We recognize that the spending habits of our elected officials are contrary to those of us who manage businesses, homes, etc. PLEASE show the country that the Republican leadership is serious about spending reform. Place Jeff Flake on the committee! |
| Herbert Kelley | Callaway, FL | January 15, 2008 | The government needs to stop spending money that is not theirs. |
| Sean Grogan | North Las Vegas, NV | January 15, 2008 | Clearly, Rep. Flake understands the type of fiscal conservancy I thought my representatives were practicing. This is a perfect committe for Jeff. Make it happen! |
| D.J. Foster | Tucson, AZ | January 15, 2008 | Give Mr. Jeff Flake the job. |
| Marshall Morris | Portland, OR | January 15, 2008 | Please, please, stop spending like crazy. Support Jeff Flake. |
| Eugene Goldsmith | Ferndale, WA | January 15, 2008 | I am a former Washington State Legislator, and I am believing that you like the minority as you get the same pay without any work. That's what happen in our State in 1998 as we failed to be fiscally responsible as we had promised in the Contract. Appoint Flake. |
| David Duncan | Milwaukee, WI | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Richard DiMeo | Evergreen, CO | January 15, 2008 | Re-position the Republican party as the party of fiscal responsibility, limited government and freedom. Appointment Congressman Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Cameron Moore | Aliso Viejo, CA | January 15, 2008 | The CA-48th says Make It Flake! |
| Rita Plowman | Port Edwards, WI | January 15, 2008 | It's hard to trust our elected officals. They don't seem to be listening to the ones that voted for them. The out of control spending has got to stop. Stop the "pork". Let's see what Jeff Flake will do about it. |

| Lynn Adams | Charlotte, NC | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Charles Slater | Longwood, FL | January 15, 2008 | I am outraged by ear marks and want a person like Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee. |
| Patrick McHargue | Ben Lomond, CA | January 15, 2008 | Stop earmarks. They are little more than an attempt to curry favor, and most should not even be contemplated by Government, let along the federal Government. |

| Ronert Hague | Roseville, CA | January 15, 2008 | Cut the pork and save the party, appoint Jeff Flake |
| Joshua Palmer | Findlay, OH | January 15, 2008 | Having Congressman Jeff Flake on the House Appropiations Committee will add instant credibility to the Republican leadership and show they are serious about earmark reform. |
| Mike Jaskie | Scottsdale, AZ | January 15, 2008 | Jeff Flake should be lauded for his efforts at cutting government waste and excess. He is a good and honorable man who deserves a great deal of credit for his responsible governance even before it became the 'popular' thing for the GOP to talk about in '06. |
| John Stapleton | Euclid, OH | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Peter Wegman | Folsom, LA | January 15, 2008 | We need real Economic Conservatives in leadership positions. I am sick of Economically Liberal conservatives giving the Republican party a bad name in Washington. |
| David Anderson | Portland, OR | January 15, 2008 | x |

| sylvia marshall | Gardiner, MT | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Fred Beitzel | Houston, TX | January 15, 2008 | Appoint Jeff Flake. It's time to demonstrate to America that Republicans can and will fight against wasteful and excessive spending. |
| Gerald Sloat | Johnstown, PA | January 15, 2008 | I would like to think that members of Congress would take the lead in cutting government spending. Putting Jeff Flake on the appropriations committee would be a good first step in that direction. |
| Carson Ammons | Fayetteville, AR | January 15, 2008 | We need someone who will help us contol our spending. Appoint Jeff Flake! |

| Rick Albright | Mountville, PA | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Craig Lalley | Albany, OR | January 15, 2008 | Its time to stop the pork process, if not now, when. Enough is enough. |
| David Anthony | Brooksville, FL | January 15, 2008 | If the Republicans are unconcerned about fiscal discipline in Congress, they are no better than the Democrats, so American voters will simply be offered the choice of both sides of the same coin. |
| Lance Helsten | Orem, UT | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Burkeville, TX | January 15, 2008 | It is time Republican House members stood firm on getting rid of earmarks! This is what the grassroots want. Make it Jeff Flake! | |
| Kathleen Herr | Jackson, MI | January 15, 2008 | I completely object to the practice of attaching earmarks to bills. Congress should do nothing not precisely specified in the Constitution. |
| Paul Wittke | Knoxville, TN | January 15, 2008 | We need Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Committee! He is doing what is best for this country. |
| Gerald Kerkhove | Centennial, CO | January 15, 2008 | We are tired of the wasteful spending Congress does each year. We need more Members of Congress to stand up and say "no more". This pork barrell spending is another good reason why Members of Congress should be subject to term limits just like the President. |
| Shirely A Jorgenson | Royal Oaks, CA | January 15, 2008 | It is about time someone in this inept congress used common sense when it comes to spending the taxpayers hard earned money. Voe for Jeff flake to curb the spending. |
| David Janda | Livingston, TX | January 15, 2008 | Big-spending/big-government Republicans lost the support of fiscal conservatives in the 2006 election and lost their House majority because of it. Don't continue this self-defeating trend. |
| Ted Hils | Midland City, AL | January 15, 2008 | We need a Republican on the committee that is part of the solution, not part of the problem. Appoint Jeff! |
| Danita Phillips | Lakewood, CO | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Roland Steorts | Rochester, NY | January 15, 2008 | I am a Republican who feels abandoned by his party. Taking a stand on earmarks will help me see there IS a difference between the two parties. |
| S. Rowan Wilson, MBA | Las Vegas, NV | January 15, 2008 | As a financial professional, if we ran our business the way the Federal government does we would be in serious trouble. Let Jeff Flake take over the position on the committee and restore fiscal conservancy to Congress. |
| Matthew Grage | Colorado springs, CO | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Samara Peterson | Baxter, MN | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Dan Scupin | Miramar Beach, FL | January 15, 2008 | The Republicans are "cutting their own throats" if they don't appoint Jeff Flake. We DON'T NEED more of the same. |
| Kathleen Barley | Waterville, OH | January 15, 2008 | Mr. Boehner, from OH, as I am from OH, please put Jeff on the committee. Do you realize how much Republicans stand to lose if you don't quit this pork?! Thank you for you immediate action! Mrs. Kathleen Barley |
| Marissa Briseno | Los Angeles, CA | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Terry Firestone | Apopka, FL | January 15, 2008 | Unless the money is to go specifically to update roads and highways, bridges, school buildings, hospitals, military pay, benefits and research, or other national infrastructure, it should go to reduce taxes both individual and corporate. No more hometown payola. We need a line item veto on the budget. Jeff Flake can do it. |
| Dirk Hoyns | Social Circle, GA | January 15, 2008 | Decision time: Same old stuff or lead with vision. |
| Bill Schmidt | Tulsa, OK | January 15, 2008 | We lost the last election due to out of control spending. Now its time to show that we are serious about cutting pork and Rep. Jeff Flake has demonstrated he is serious about it, and should be appointed to the appropriations committee vacancy. |
| Diana Kohrt | Rochester, MN | January 15, 2008 | This spending insanity has to stop!!! |
| Susan Stafford | Columbus, OH | January 15, 2008 | We need men like you on the Appropriations Committee. We are glad you are going for it! |
| Barbara Davis | Las Vegas, NV | January 15, 2008 | Please help save our country. We are in such trouble and turmoil. Please start here and help get rid of the awful spending of our hard earned tax money. It is unbelieveable that this should be happening in our Congress. |
| Donna Andress | Searchlight, NV | January 15, 2008 | We positively need a "watchdog" for spending. It's way out of hand. Congress should have to live within it's income as we do! |
| Dolores E Leeson | West Chester, PA | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Jack Van Dien | Carson City, NV | January 15, 2008 | Make it Jeff Flake. Stop earmarks. |

| Shane Patrick Connolly | San Jose, CA | January 15, 2008 | Let's get back to our Republican roots as Fiscal Conservatives and start winning again! |
| C. ALVIN BERTEL JR | Covington, LA | January 15, 2008 | I can't think of anything more urgent! |

| Annah Newkirk | Burlington, KS | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Gregory Cecil | Merritt Island, FL | January 15, 2008 | When I changed my registration to independent, I was asked why I left the Republican Party. I replied that I didn't leave the Republican Party, it left me. With your insistence on giving illegal aliens amnesty to your wild spending sprees, you are not the party that I joined when Ronald Reagan was President. As a party, you have dug yourself a pretty deep hole. Placing Jeff Flake on the Appropriations committee would be a nice start to getting out of that hole. |
| Val McDannel | Thornton, CO | January 15, 2008 | Congress has to do somthing to stop the pork. Do you believe you have an open check book with our hard earned money? You would think the replublicans would get a clue after the embarrassing defeat last election. We had both housed of congress and the Presidency, and what have we accomplished? More pork that Clinton ever thought about. Please put Rep Flake on the committee. He seems to be one of the few that we tax payers can count on! |
| Ernest Cote | Asbury Park, NJ | January 15, 2008 | Reviving the Reagan Revolution or permanent THIRD-party status for the GOP. Your call, Boehner ... and your legacy. |

| Sandee Enriquez | Fallbrook, CA | January 15, 2008 | You better stop this run away train before we all go over the cliff! We need more people like Jeff Flake! |
| Frank Martin | Ormond Beach, FL | January 15, 2008 | It is time to restore traditional Republican principles to Congress. Jeff Flake is the man for this job! |
| Ken Wozniak | South Bend, IN | January 15, 2008 | The unconstitutional spending has to stop! We need Flake in there to hold politicians responsible for their pet projects. Let the public know where our money is going and who is giving it away. |

| Daryl Carr | Gardiner, NY | January 15, 2008 | It is time to put an end to pork. Put Mr. Flake on the committee. |
| Sean O'Brian | Wilson, NC | January 15, 2008 | It's past time to remember that we are the party of limited govt! Govt. is the problem NOT the solution! |
| Bill Cramer | Vienna, VA | January 15, 2008 | Enough pork. Our government is out of control. |
