	Jeff Flake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was born in Snowflake, Arizona (named in part for his great-great-grandfather, William J. Flake), was educated at Brigham Young University and was a Mormon missionary.
		Jeff Flake is known as one of the more libertarian of the Republicans in the House, often among a small handful of Republicans joining Ron Paul in casting 'no' votes on bills which are supported by most of his party.
		Flake is believed to harbor further political ambitions, including possible future runs for Governor of Arizona or the United States Senate.

	"The Pruner" by James Verini (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Flake, a self-described paleo-conservative ("I prefer that to neoconservative, anyway," he told me) has been a thorn in the side of the GOP leadership since he was elected to Congress in 2000.
		Flake's forebears were Mormon missionaries dispatched by Brigham Young in the late 19th century to scout and establish a settlement in Arizona for the pioneers who would follow behind them.
		Flake's mission now, as he outlines it to me, is nothing less than the dismantling of DeLay-ism, the spoils system by which the former majority leader achieved and retained power.

	Citizens Against Government Waste: Congressman Flake: Pork Buster
		On April 14, 2005, Rep. Flake introduced the Obligation of Funds Transparency Act of 2005 (H.R. 1642), which would require earmarks to be included in the text of spending bills, thereby allowing members of Congress to more easily eliminate wasteful or unnecessary projects before approving appropriations bills.
		According to Rep. Flake, “we’d see a lot of pork projects disappear from spending bills if members were faced with the prospect of having to defend the merits of their projects on the House floor.” Flake has picked up 15 co-sponsors in the House.
		Congressman Flake points out that the reason that even the most wasteful and indefensible pork projects get funded is that they are tucked away in the reports that accompany bills, rather than the actual text of the bill.

	SitNews - Newsmaker Interviews: Passing up the Highway Pork By Bill Steigerwald
		Jeff Flake, an Arizona congressman, was only one of eight House members to vote against the $286.4 billion highway bill and mass transit bill, a pork-fattened law that passed with bipartisan gusto on July 29 in the House, 412-8, and in the Senate, 91-4.
		Flake voted against it because, in addition to the usual money wasted on expensive highways to nowhere and light-rail lines relatively few people ride, it contained an estimated $23 billion in so-called "earmarks."
		I've offered for years now what is typically referred to as the Flake tilting at Windmills Amendment, which I get about 50 votes for, which says if you get an earmark, fine, but it comes out of your state's formula, not everybody else's.
