Jeff Flake

5) I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for polices or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.

Well, you've heard of "no-bid" contracts, havent you? Competition would bring the prices down. And save the country a lot of money

Hi Jeff,
I wanted to let you know that I have started a new group call Bring American Jobs Home. I hope you would feel the need to support us. Thank you for your time

I am a part-time resident of Utah (Park City) and I too have been disapointed in Governor Huntsman over the past few months. He is taking positions that are irrelavent to Utah and he is hurting his own party by campaigning for Obama's stimulus package. I thought he'd be able to take over for Romney should Romney not run in 2012, but I don't think so.

I have supported you Congressman Flake since 2002 and I hope you go one to do bigger and better things. I'll be making a donation in 2010.

Dear Congressman Flake:

I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. Frankly, I find the current spirit of partisanship during a time of economic peril to be loathsome. That your courage is speaking out against pork barrel spending is truly commendable. Pretending that campaign contributions are not a "fiscal interest" is at best disingenuous and at worst psychopathic.

Having put their own interests ahead of their country's, I truly don't know most members of Congress can look in the mirror. A bipartisan prohibition against pork, or at least a requirement that these projects be publicly vetted, would go a long way toward accountability and fiscal responsibility. Americans deserve to know where our money is going, and who will benefit. ... Read More

So long as you don't hypocritically turn a blind eye to your own party's pork while assailing that of your opponents, you will have my support in this crucial quest.

Thanks and best wishes,

Thanks for your kind note. I appreciate your support!
Jeff

As I have said many times, I appreciate your continued efforts to protect our liberties. I continually review your voting record and I'm very proud to have you as our representative. Good luck in all and keep fighting the good fight.

Thank you, Jeff, for doing your best to kill this bill. I'm completely dumbfounded by those libertarians who thought it would be a good idea to have a Democrat in the White House when a Democrat majority was assured in both legislative houses.

Jeff, you really need to replace McCain when he retires. Your voice in the Senate is needed so badly, and, if possible, a future look to the white house? That would be ideal.

As a former Flake supporter I cannot support him as a replacement for McCain.

Keep fighting Jeff! Earmarks are one of the most egregious violations of this "stimulus" bill. It is a good place to start to make sure our congress and president actually achieve the purpose of the people and not just their own political ends.

Thanks for the great comments, all of you. I'm not trying to go after campaign contributions - I'm going after earmarks. No member of congress should be able to secure a no-bid contract for anybody, but it is especially egregious when you're getting a no-bid contract for people who turn around and give you money.

Jeff
