| Name | City | Date | Comments |
| Roger Lamothe | Wilson, NC | January 15, 2008 | If you want to have any chance of regaining Congress, it will only be by cutting all the pork barrel spending that Republicans have resorted to in the last four years. If you don't place Rep Flake to the Appropriations committee you have no chance of getting my vote again not that of most repubulicans I know. We are FED UP with this. |
| Dean Purvis | Jeffersonville, IN | January 15, 2008 | Where is the "conservative" in the spending bills you guys are raming through? You are driving up taxes and members of your party away! |
| Henry George | Morganton, NC | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Wanda Morton | Columbia, TN | January 15, 2008 | x |
| K Plumer | Lehigh, IA | January 15, 2008 | The time is long overdue for our elected representitives to become fiscally responsible and reduce big government and spending. You people are not only spending the taxpayers money irresponsibly, but also spending our childrens' and grandchildrens' futures. This once great nation is in rapid decline because of your self serving interests and lack of respect for our constitution and the people you were elected to serve. Appoint Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee as he has proven that he is one of very few that can be trusted to oversee the TAXPAYERS money. |
| Henry George | Morganton, NC | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Leslie Boomers | Lowell, MI | January 15, 2008 | Stop this insanity spending now - the country/taxpayers can't take anymore! Listen to us! Appoint Jeff Flake! |
| Rick Montoya | Carlsbad, CA | January 15, 2008 | Pork-barrel spending by Congressional members on both sides of the aisle needs to be halted at once. The reason we Republicans lost seats the last election was because pork-barrel spending by the then-majority party was brought to light. We need someone who will fight against rampant p-b spending. Make it Flake! |
| Don Anderson | Menifee, CA | January 15, 2008 | Please. We need more like Jeff Flake. |
| Louis Jahn | Fort Myers, FL | January 15, 2008 | If the Republicans do not nominate Rep Flake, they are giving proof absolutely the USA needs a third party. They will prove neither Republicans and Democrats are responsible! |
| Garry Briggs | Spanish Fork, UT | January 15, 2008 | $20 Billion dollars worth of pork. It's past time for our elected representatives to represent and vote the will of the people they are elected to SERVE. Jeff Flake's appointment will be a defining moment for this party's existence. |
| Kim Rusch | Portland, OR | January 15, 2008 | x |
| David P Wilson | Anderson, IN | January 15, 2008 | The waste has to stop! Jeff Flake is the right first step in a long process. |
| Al Markel | San Francisco, CA | January 15, 2008 | Appointing Jeff Flake is the first step in taking back the House. DO IT!!!!!! |
| Debra Peters | Kingsland, TX | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Linda Coffey | Lenoir, NC | January 15, 2008 | x |
| cynthia schlegel | , | January 15, 2008 | With the abysmal approval rating suffered by Congress, appointing Jeff Flake to the appropriations committee would go a long way in restoring trust and credibility. Reform is long overdue...this would be a start. Thank you. |
| Martina Webster | Clarksville, IN | January 15, 2008 | I'm discouraged by the Republican treatment of Dr Ron Paul. Putting Jeff Flake on Appropriations would at least be a step in the right direction towards the fiscal conservatism the Republican party USED to stand for. |
| Phil Beckwith | Riverton, WY | January 15, 2008 | Republicans have to return to being Republicans not RINO's. I WANT JEFF FLAKE. You are a RINO. GOOD RIDDANCE THIS FALL. If you were to look at the histoy of MD politicians you will find my fathers name {PAUL}. He was an honest politican, not a flake like you. And even tho he was a democrat, HE WAS AN AMERICAN FIRST. PROFILE ALL ARAB APPEARING MEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 17 AND 40 WHEN EVER THEY ARE IN LINE FOR ANYTHING. |
| August Enderlin | Castro Valley, CA | January 15, 2008 | I do not want my tax dollars to go toward "pork" projects. It would seem that adults would know better than to pull this kind of trick. Children (the immature) might not know any better. |
| Larry Eberhart | Sparks, NV | January 15, 2008 | Accountability please. |
| John Dendahl | Littleton, CO | January 15, 2008 | x |
| John Henry | wailkuku, HI | January 15, 2008 | BBQ the pork spending |
| Kim Seeley | Battle Creek, MI | January 15, 2008 | End the pork! Appoint Congressman Jeff Flake! |
| Gary Iverson | Nampa, ID | January 15, 2008 | Congress is out of control. It is as if they bolemic and were trying to stuff themselves (and us) to death!!! STOP the uncontrolled and out of control spending! |
| Gregg Sougstad | Minneapolis, MN | January 15, 2008 | We need it to be Jeff Flake! |
| Bill Murphy | South Acworth, NH | January 15, 2008 | Appoint Flake |
| Darren Fulmer | Lake Forest, CA | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Andrea LeVecke | Phoenix, AZ | January 15, 2008 | Add Flake! You need someone up there that is fiscally responsible! |
| Robert Knight | durham, NC | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Neisha Jensen | Phoenix, AZ | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Randy Penrod | Savage, MN | January 15, 2008 | Congressman Boehner: I'd urge that you make a statement that the Republicans have learned their lesson and returned to their fiscal roots. Appoint Congressman Flake. |
| Jason LeVecke | Guadalupe, AZ | January 15, 2008 | Congressman Flake is Principled Conservative Leadership. We would have a large majority and a better Country if we all followed his example. |
| Lucinda Dunaway | Plainfield, IN | January 15, 2008 | I think he would do a great job and we need more true conservatives to give us a voice. |
| Matthew Flegal | Worcester, MA | January 15, 2008 | To Whom it may concern, I beg you all to take the concerns of your conservative supporters on this issue. I will be actively assisting the campaign of the Republican nominee here in Mass, a thankless task to be sure. My Republican party is one that prizes the individual and helps them reach their potential by helping where required but by pushing them to take care of themselves. My Republican party is one that believes that a government that runs our lives and dilutes our spirit is to be fought against. Please show the American people that the USA can manage it's finances as I manage my bank account, by conserving my money and carefully planning my expenditures. Put Mr. Flake in and show me that you agree. Don't take a second "thumpin'", the country can't afford it. |
| Leslie Price | Houston, TX | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Erik Waters | Clifton Park, NY | January 15, 2008 | I agree--Make It Flake! |
| Mary Jane Orlando | Lakewood, CO | January 15, 2008 | Make it Jeff Flake! |
| Chuck Muth | Carson City, NV | January 15, 2008 | Gut-check time. Either Republicans have learned their lesson from their 2006 losses or they haven't. Failure to put Jeff Flake on the Appropriations Committee will show they haven't...and deserve their continued minority status. |
| Matt Carlson-MN | Albertville, MN | January 15, 2008 | Does the GOP really want to make itself a clone of the party that ignores the spending excesses of John Murtha? Stand up and be Republicans again or continue to struggle for votes every, single election cycle. Your choice. |
| Dael Olsen | Lemon Grove, CA | January 15, 2008 | We've got to curb government spending! |
| Joan Ault | Westminster, CA | January 15, 2008 | A party with a majority of its members being "Big Spenders" is not what the GOP was once about. Until it returns to it's old ways it will continue to shrink. |
| David Gearhart | Palatine, IL | January 15, 2008 | Lets get back to Republican principles. |
| Janice Hoelscher | St.Cloud, MN | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Robert Ault | Westminster, CA | January 15, 2008 | If the GOP had more Flakes (and followed their lead), I would return to the party. |
| Caroline Peale | Littleton, CO | January 15, 2008 | Please put Jeff Flake on you Appropriations Committee. I know he will do the right thing with cutting spending and approving when appropriate. Thank you. Caroline Peale |
| Leigh Taylor | Mount Pleasant, TX | January 15, 2008 | Make it Flake for our children's sake! |
| Russell Samuels | Bath, PA | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Jim Thrasher | Urbandale, IA | January 15, 2008 | Some of our nation's congressmen think the American people want or expect them to "bring home the pork", but that couldn't be further from the truth. Only polititions want or expect that! The American people who pay the taxes used to fund porkbarrel spending have to balance their own budgets, exercising spending restraint, and WE EXPECT CONGRESS to do the same!!! |
| John McGah | Arlington, MA | January 15, 2008 | The Republican party lost it's way and lost the last election.Appoint Jeff Flake to help restore trust and win again. |
| Dale Armstrong | park city, UT | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Barb Stoermer | Boulder, CO | January 15, 2008 | Ditto!! |
| William Buzbee | Baton Rouge, LA | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Joseph Celaya | Mesa, AZ | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Joseph Celaya | Mesa, AZ | January 15, 2008 | Make it Jeff Flake!! |
| William Lucking | Pine Mountain Club, CA | January 15, 2008 | Someone has to stand up or we lose everything we fought and voted for as citizens of this great country. Appoint Jeff Flake and fight the fear. |
| Sara Lang | Manchester, MO | January 15, 2008 | x |
| Robert Caughey | Westlake Village, CA | January 14, 2008 | I don't trust any of you. But I am willing to give Flake a chance. The tax payer should start withholding the tax dollars we pay until you get fiscally responsibile. If you continue on your tax and spent I believe the citizens will soon call for a tax withholding on our side not you of the IRS. |
| Milan Tesic | Louisville, CO | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Lyle Schilling | Phoenix, AZ | January 14, 2008 | Please help do whatever we can do to help stop pork barrel spending. People are losing faith in their electred officials. People expect Republicans to take a conservative approach to spending. When they don't do that they lose support. Remember the "06 elections! Jeff Flake has shown by example and character that he is the best candidate to be placed on the House Appropriations Committee. I want Republicans to act like Republicans. Thanks, Lyle Schilling |
| Roy Miller | Phoenix, AZ | January 14, 2008 | Jeff Flake is one of the three most outstanding congressmen in Washington. He would make an excellent addtion to Approp. |
| Daniel Hagevik | Brooklyn, NY | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Charles Roth | Angola, NY | January 14, 2008 | Do the right thing and make us Republicans proud. Take the next step that shows that we can lead with America in mind. |
| Rick Clements | Florissant, CO | January 14, 2008 | Congressman Flake has proven himself to be an unflappable steward of taxpayer interests, and would be a tremendous asset to this comittee, and to the citizens of this country. |
| Jay Taylor | Saint Paul, MN | January 14, 2008 | I would like the Republican leadership demonstrate their commitment to fiscal responsibility and clean government in concrete actions as well as rhetoric. Appointing Flake to Appropriations will send that message clearly. Thanks! |
| Tracy Grabiak | Jobstown, NJ | January 14, 2008 | The era of Reagan is not over! (Newt, on the other hand, is...) Let Flake cut pork! |
| Gary Kabrick | Vail, AZ | January 14, 2008 | Gentlemen and Ladies, this country is being bled dry by your wasteful spending habits and your propensity to regulate every little aspect of our lives. The electorate grows weary. If you want us to continue to be the economic powerhouse of the world, you'll have to get off our backs. One way to get on that road is to appoint Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. |
| Rachel Binney | Ebensburg, PA | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Jenner Gibson | Gardners, PA | January 14, 2008 | Fiscal responsibility isn't passive; that's why Jeff Flake needs on Appropriations. |
| Art Mueller | New York, NY | January 14, 2008 | Here's a vote for fiscal sanity. Stop the pork! |
| MICHAEL R Field | Winter Park, FL | January 14, 2008 | x |
| George Bednekoff | Plano, TX | January 14, 2008 | Rep. Jeff Flake is the right person for this opening on the Appropriations Committee. Even though he is geographically incorrect for me, Rep. Flake represents my interests better than than my own congressman. I want reduced spending, lower taxes, and less government in general. |
| Paul Terry | Cranston, RI | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Robert Paquette | Anaheim Hills, CA | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Perrie Campbell | Springfield, MO | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Russ Norwood | Chicago, IL | January 14, 2008 | This would demonstrate the Republican leadership's committment to earmark reform and give all Republicans hope for fiscal responsibility. |
| Gail Nye | El Cajon, CA | January 14, 2008 | STOP MURTHA! |
| Edward S. Quest | Scaly Mountain, NC | January 14, 2008 | This nation must return to a fiscal responsibility. We are in a dangerous condition of irresponsibility as our representatives in Congress and the Senate carry on extravagent and in many cases in violation of the Constitution spending on a seemingly endless list of unnecessary and unwarranted appropriations. Let's get back to sane and just control of Federal spending before it is too late and we become unable to recover from fiscal failure. |
| Esther Clark | Southampton, MA | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Scott Wilson | Phoenix, AZ | January 14, 2008 | We need Jeff Flake! Some one has to watch out for us. No one else in goverment is. |
| Robert Beales | Ojibwa, WI | January 14, 2008 | Show you are serious about earmark reform. |
| Vincent Savino | Brandon, FL | January 14, 2008 | I wholeheartedly agree, the U.S. Gov't needs to get a handle on irresponsible spending. In fact several earmarks are holding up my hard earned military pay raise this year. As a 22 year active duty Colonel in the USAF, it's about time to cut through the rampant pork. |
| Kent Chitwood | Bristol, TN | January 14, 2008 | This is an opportunity for Republicans to distinguish themselves from the Democrats. |

| Joseph Gutierrez | Charlotte, MI | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Barbara Laviner | Surf City, NC | January 14, 2008 | Please appoint Jeff Flake to the House Appropriations Committee. It is time for the Republicans in the House to stand up and take the actions that they purportedly support. Jeff Flake's appointment to the Appropriations is the first step in that direction. |
| Sharon Wilderman | Las Vegas, NV | January 14, 2008 | CUT the Pork!!! Line item veto!!! 2 term limits |
| J Reed | The Villages, FL | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Jonathan Isernhagen | Keller, TX | January 14, 2008 | Rep Flake is one of very few members of the House behaviorally recognizable as a Republican. If you cannot bring yourself to slavishly imitate him in his anti-pork program, the least you can do is place him in a position to stop you from being consumed by your own addiction. |
| Myra Badger | Blacksburg, VA | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Arcady Grenader | Brookfield, WI | January 14, 2008 | x |
| Whitman Moulton | Galveston, IN | January 14, 2008 | I want less pork coming out of Washington, D.C. |
| Corey Linquist | rescue, CA | January 14, 2008 | Promises to "Fix the mess" are meaningless without meaningful action behind them! Appointing Rep. Flake to this committee shows true conservatives that leadership both understands AND is taking action to actually change the governmental appropriation process. |
