Letter: Flake’s stance on gun sales disappointing
Monday, March 25, 2013 9:27 am
It is quite disappointing that we now have a Senator who on the surface seems to understand the need for Universal Background Checks on Gun Sales. This supposedly good friend of Gabby Giffords then votes against it when it comes up for a Vote in the Senate. Mr. Flake obviously had fallen victim to the NRA who now has over 75 percent of it members in favor of Universal Background Checks. I find it very hypocritical that we have a Senator who shines is his smile of friendship to Gabby Giffords on her relentless campaign to get Gun Control legislation passed. At least to get Universal Background Checks passed. Then to have Mr Flake cave in to the failing NRA Lobbyist. This is a tell tale sign Senator Flake is not caring about what the people want but what the extreme lobbyist want. Shame on Senator Flake. Gabby does not need back stabbing friends like that.

Flake: Recommendations for 'Super Committee'
Thursday, October 20, 2011 9:36 am
In a strange turn of political events, pro wrestler legend Hulk Hogan announced this week that he would make a great president. While I have doubts about that, Hogan did state that as president he would enact a “flat tax across the board.”
Letters: Impressive run by Flake
