LITTLE: IS PALLONE LIVING ON THE PLANET OF OPPOSITES?
(HIGHLANDS, October 12) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to a statement by her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, on NJN's "On the Record" that "there have been more tax cuts ... in this Congress than in any other Congress" - today asked Pallone if he is living on The Planet of Opposites, where night is day, down is up, Barack Obama is Ronald Reagan, and a tax hike is a tax cut.
"Is Frank Pallone living on the Planet Earth, or on The Planet of Opposites?
"On NJN's 'On the Record' broadcast over the weekend, Frank Pallone said the 111th Congress has passed 'more tax cuts ... than in any other Congress' - a statement which, I'm sure, had all the taxpayers running to their mailboxes to see where was their missing tax cut, the one they never received," said Little.
"Seriously, here's his exact quote: 'I mean, there's been more tax cuts and efforts to try to, uh, uh, help businesses through tax credits or tax cuts in this Congress than in any other Congress.'
"'More tax cuts ... than in any other Congress?'
"Can he be serious? Does he believe we have forgotten the vote he cast a week and a half ago, to adjourn the Congress and flee Washington before casting a vote that could help prevent the biggest tax HIKE in American history? He cast the DECIDING VOTE on that one, and in doing so, failed to block a massive tax hike scheduled to kick in on New Year's Day.
"Or could it be that he thinks we have forgotten the 20 new or higher taxes in the healthcare bill he still proudly insists is 'Not Obama's bill ... not Pelosi's bill. It's MY bill?' Higher taxes on working families that will total over $500 billion - to go with the $500 billion in Medicare cuts he voted for?
"Only on The Planet of Opposites does what Frank Pallone said about this Congress and tax cuts make sense. Unfortunately for him, his constituents still have their feet planted firmly right here on Planet Earth, and in 22 days they're going to be sending him into retirement - whether here on Earth, or there on The Planet of Opposites, will be his choice," continued Little.
"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE: DON'T JUST GIVE WAIVERS, REPEAL THE DARN THING
(HIGHLANDS, October 8) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to news reports indicating that major employers like McDonalds are receiving waivers from the Obama Administration to keep them from dropping health insurance for their employees - today reiterated her determination to fight in Congress to repeal Obamacare.
"When Nancy Pelosi and Frank Pallone succeeded in jamming through their government takeover of healthcare back in the Spring, we predicted that it wouldn't be long before major insurers threatened to drop out of markets and major employers threatened to drop their employee coverage," said Little. "Sadly, the law hasn't even been on the books for a year, and already those predictions are coming to pass.
"According to a report in Wednesday's New York Times, companies like McDonalds are telling the Obama Administration that the new regulations are simply too costly and too complicated to implement, and that unless they get a waiver from the regulations, they'll be forced to drop health insurance coverage for their employees," Little continued. "The Administration's response? Grant the waivers.
"That's terrific for McDonalds. But what about all the hundreds of thousands of other businesses, large and small, that don't have the clout or the name ID McDonalds has? What about them? They're going to have to live with the regulations - or drop their coverage. And that would force even more Americans to leave their doctors, and apply for coverage in some government-controlled insurance pool. That's just wrong.
"Remember, Frank Pallone said this is HIS bill. 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. It's MY bill,' he famously said.
"I wonder what is Frank's solution? Because my solution is simple - don't give waivers, just repeal the darn thing.
"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE CAMP RESPONDS TO MONMOUTH POLL ADJUSTMENT

LITTLE CAMP RESPONDS TO MONMOUTH POLL ADJUSTMENT
(HIGHLANDS, October 8) - Larry Cirignano, campaign manager for Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to the Monmouth University Polling Institute's remarkable decision to adjust its numbers on a survey as a result of a numbers-crunching analysis by a local blogger - today released the following statement:
"In all my years of working to elect conservative candidates, I've never before seen a pollster acknowledge that his own numbers were wrong. But yesterday afternoon, that's exactly what happened, when the Monmouth University Polling Institute adjusted the numbers on the survey it released a day earlier and cut 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone's 'lead' by 25 percent, slashing it from 12 points to just 9.
"This remarkable turn of events happened as the result of an analysis by Art Gallagher, the editor of MoreMonmouthMusings.net.
"When the survey results were originally released, we questioned the methodology of the survey - it used robo-calls instead of live callers. We also raised a question regarding the composition of the survey sample, given that the survey indicated that Anna Little was leading Frank Pallone by 51-38 percent among Independents, yet Anna was still supposedly trailing by a dozen points - a clear indication that there were too many Democrats included in the survey.
"But Art Gallagher took the questions a step further. He checked the survey sample against voter file databases and demonstrated through a rigorous analysis (available online here: http://www.moremonmouthmusings.net/2010/10/06/musings-on-the-monmouth-university-cd-6-poll/) that the Monmouth numbers simply did not add up correctly. And then he got in touch with the survey director and shared the results of his analysis.
"And, to his credit, Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray acknowledged to Gallagher that 'your assumptions are as good as mine, and this is a very volatile electorate' - and then he adjusted his own numbers to reflect a 51-42 percent Pallone lead, instead of the 12-point lead he originally projected.
"When you stop to consider that the day before, Murray, speaking of what he believed to be a 12-point Pallone lead, said, 'A 12 point lead may look comfortable, but not when you consider the fact that Pallone regularly wins reelection by more than 30 points,' you can only ask yourself - just how worried is Frank Pallone now?
"We're quite confident that when our campaign's advertising kicks in, these numbers are going to shift even further in our favor.

REMINDER: PALLONE SAID GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTHCARE WAS HIS IDEA
(HIGHLANDS, October 7) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to release of a national survey indicating that the electorate's opposition to the government takeover of healthcare enacted earlier this year is growing and hardening as the election approaches - today reminded voters in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District that her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, famously claimed of the legislation, "This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill."
"Nancy Pelosi and Frank Pallone were wrong to enact legislation mandating a government takeover of our healthcare," said Little. "The bill they pushed through puts a government bureaucrat between you and your family doctor, reduces patient choice, raises taxes, and cuts Medicare by $500 billion. That's just wrong.
"What's worse," continued Little, "is that Frank Pallone insists it wasn't Barack Obama's bill, and it wasn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. No, he insists, it was HIS bill all along. You can see video of him claiming it was his bill right here: http://www.stoppallone.com/
"Frankly, Frank, the voters of New Jersey's 6th Congressional District don't care whether it was your bill or Nancy Pelosi's bill - all they care about is that it be repealed as soon as possible," Little continued. "And that's exactly what I plan to do when I get to Congress next year.
"We need healthcare reform that actually puts more power in the hands of patients and their doctors, and takes it away from government bureaucrats," said Little. "We need healthcare reform that strengthens Medicare, rather than cuts it, and we need healthcare reform that increases patient choice, rather than reduces it.
"That's what we're going to try to do in the next Congress, and that's why I cannot wait to get there.
"The good news is, there's an election in 26 days!"

LITTLE: PALLONE SEEMS TO THINK YOU CAN AFFORD A $1,862/YEAR TAX HIKE. REALLY.
(HIGHLANDS, October 1) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - continuing to highlight the vote by her opponent, 22-year incumbent Washington fixture Frank Pallone, to adjourn Congress and return home to campaign without first holding a vote to extend the current tax rates - today pointed out that for the average family in the 6th Congressional District, that translates to a $1,862 per year tax hike.
"Frank Pallone seems to think the average family in our congressional district can afford a $1,862 per year tax hike," said Little. "Maybe that's what he gets for staying in Washington so long. After 22 years living the high life with the lobbyists, it's clear he's forgotten his roots.
"These aren't numbers someone is making up out of thin air. According to the Tax Foundation, failure to extend the current tax rates would mean the average family in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District would see its federal tax liability rise from $6,768 per year to $8,630 per year - that's a hike of $1,862 per year, and represents a 27.5 percent increase," continued Little.
"Two days ago, Nancy Pelosi and her liberal allies like Frank Pallone decided they'd be better off campaigning without first taking a vote to increase taxes on America's job creators," continued Little. "So they just decided to leave town without doing their jobs. In doing so, they effectively chose to vote for a tax increase - because everyone knows they're far less likely to feel constrained after the election, in a lame duck session, than they would have BEFORE the election, when voters could have punished them for voting for a tax increase.
"In other words, getting out of town now translates to higher taxes later.
"But there's a way to stop it - and that's for the American electorate to rise up and say, 'Enough!'"
"When I get to Congress, I'm determined to fight with everything in my power to see to it that NO American taxpayer faces a tax hike - and especially not when we've still got an economy teetering on the brink of a double-dip recession.
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again - you cannot change Washington without changing the PEOPLE in Washington.
