U.S. Congressional Candidate Anna Little Receives Top Grade from NRA

HIGHLANDS, NJ, October 26 - Anna Little, candidate for the Sixth Congressional District,
received a top score of "AQ" from the National Rifle Association (NRA). The NRA again
recently released its rankings for political candidates, on its Political Victory Fund Grades and
Endorsements page, http://www.nrapvf.org, where Anna Little received their highest grade of
"AQ", while her opponent long term incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ) received
a failing grade of "F".
An "AQ" grade is a qualified "A," which is the highest grade awarded by the NRA. An AQ
rating describes “a pro-gun candidate whose rating is based solely on the candidate's
responses to the NRA-PVF Candidate Questionnaire and who does not have a voting record
on Second Amendment issues.” A grade of "F" is the lowest grade awarded by the NRA.
"I am proud and honored that the NRA chose to give me a grade of "AQ", which is essentially
an "A" grade. I have always been a friend of gun owners, sportsmen, hunters, and target
shooters and the like, and hold them in the highest regard." Little said, "If elected, I pledge to
do everything in my power to preserve the constitutional guarantees and rights for Americans
to keep and bear arms. It will be an honor and a privilege to represent gun owners all across
this great nation. Our forefathers thought so highly of this right, that they listed it as the
second amendment to the US Constitution, and clearly stated that ...the right of the people to
keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed," Little continued. "The President's administration
recently showed its contempt for gun owners everywhere, when they ordered that almost 1
million US M1 Garand and M1 carbine rifles in perfect operating condition be destroyed,
grouping them with the B.A.R & Thompson fully automatic guns, rather than be put into the
hands of gun collectors. It is a tragedy that these firearms will be destroyed, instead of being
prized and appreciated by collectors and gun enthusiasts alike. To make matters even worse,
the President and Secretary of State have previously publicly expressed an eagerness to sign
the UN Small Arms Treaty, which will be overseen by the country of Iran, which will further
erode the gun rights of Americans.
"The UN Small Arms Treaty, under the guise of fighting terrorism, will overturn 200 years of
precedence of US gun ownership," explained Little, "It will be the worst thing that can ever
happen to gun rights for Americans."
A UN treaty, if ratified, will immediately become the law of the land, and will supersede all US
laws, including the US Constitution, thereby nullifying the Constitutional second amendment
guarantees. This is hardly what the framers of our US Constitution could have envisioned.
Little concluded by saying, "our military is the backbone of our country, and the members of
our armed forces have fought and died to safeguard and protect our rights and freedoms, and
the Second Amendment is one of those key rights and freedoms, which our fighting men and
women have paid for with their blood."

Sixth District Debate Cancelled, Frank Pallone Declines League of Women Voters

HIGHLANDS, NJ, October 24th - Incumbent Frank Pallone declined a request to participate in a debate with Congressional Candidate Anna Little. The debate, coordinated and sponsored by the League of Women Voters and scheduled for October 28, was canceled due to a lack of incumbent participation.

"The voters in the sixth district should not be ignored," said Little. "I am disappointed in Congressman Pallone's decision to avoid a debate. Because of redistricting, the new district was not previously represented by Congressman Pallone and voters in the newly drawn sixth district deserve the chance to see the candidates who are asking to represent them in Congress side-by-side discussing their perspectives on the critical problems we face in New Jersey and the nation.”

Many New Jersey Congressional Candidates have participated in debates during the 2012 election; Congressional Candidate John Arvanites debated long-time incumbent Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen last week; Congressman Bill Pascrell and Rabbi Schmuley Boteach just participated in the second of three scheduled debates and Congressman Jon Runyan and Candidate Shelley Adler will meet in a debate on Nov. 1.

“Why is Incumbent Frank Pallone afraid to face voters in a debate?” asked Little’s Campaign Council, Torin Kelly. “Maybe as a 24 year incumbent Pallone feels as though he doesn't need to participate in the campaign process, but voters in the sixth district deserve the same level of transparency from Congressman Pallone that other Incumbents and Candidates are providing New Jersey voters in Congressional districts across the state.”

When requested to participate in the debate, Little enthusiastically and immediately responded that she would attend. Several of the independent candidates had responded, but Frank Pallone declined the invitation to debate and his failure to participate caused the only debate scheduled for New Jersey's sixth district Congressional race to be canceled.

"I welcome the opportunity to debate the issues with the other candidates at any time and any place,” Little continued. “New Jersey’s unemployment rate has climbed to 9.9 percent, the highest since 1977 and almost 10 percent of homeowners are 90 days or more behind on their mortgage payments, the second-worst delinquency rate in the nation - voters can't afford to be kept in the dark on economic issues any longer. Congressman Pallone has been a tourist in his own district long enough and it is time to face the voters and have an open and honest dialog about the main issues. I stand ready to debate Congressman Pallone and I urge him to join the rest of us and reschedule this important discussion.”

Frank Pallone Ignores League of Women Voters’ Debate Request

HIGHLANDS, NJ, October 12 – Incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone has failed to respond to a request from the League of Women Voters to attend a debate with Congressional Candidate Anna Little on October 28th.

"The voters in the Sixth District should not be ignored," said Little. "I am disappointed in Congressman Pallone's decision to avoid a debate. Because of redistricting, voters in the newly drawn Sixth Congressional District who were not previously represented by Congressman Pallone deserve the chance to see the candidates who are asking to represent them in Congress side-by-side discussing their perspectives on the critical problems we face in New Jersey and the nation. As an almost-24-year incumbent,” continued Little, “Congressman Pallone may feel as though he doesn't need to participate in the campaign process, but I believe that voters in the Sixth Congressional District should not be taken for granted."

When requested to participate in the debate, Little immediately and enthusiastically responded that she would attend. Little said that she is ready and willing to discuss the issues that are important to voters in the Sixth Congressional District: Jobs, the Economy, Taxes, and the Health Care Bill. Congressman Pallone has yet to respond. His failure to participate could cause the debate to be cancelled.

"I welcome the opportunity to debate the issues with the other candidates at any time and any place,” said Little. “I question Congressman Pallone's resistance to participate. Why is someone who was elected to represent the voters afraid to face the voters in a debate? New Jersey’s unemployment rate has climbed to 9.9 percent, the highest since 1977. Almost 10 percent of homeowners are 90 days or more behind on their mortgage payments, the second-worst delinquency rate in the nation. Voters cannot afford to be kept in the dark on economic issues any longer. It is time to face the voters and have an open and honest dialogue about the issues that concern them. I stand ready to debate Congressman Pallone and I urge him to join the rest of us in this important discussion.”

If Congressman Pallone does not respond in the affirmative, the league of Women Voters will cancel the debate. If that should happen, as long as the venue is still willing to host the debate, it will become an open town hall-style meeting. Candidates for the Republican and Democrat parties in congressional districts 4 and 12 were also invited to participate in the debate, but as only one of those four candidates has responded, the League of Women Voters has decided that as of yet there is no cause to hold the debate.

The debate is coordinated and sponsored by the League of Women Voters and will be held on October 28 from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM at Temple Shalom of Aberdeen, 5 Ayrmont Lane at Church Street, Aberdeen, NJ 07747.

The Pledge commits signers to "oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for
individuals and/or businesses and oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits,
unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."

"American families are struggling to keep their homes out of foreclosure and to put bread and meat on
the table. Government must reduce spending immediately to avoid tax increases, and must work to
reduce its financial burden on taxpayers. This is not just a matter of prosperity, but a matter of
survival. For that reason I have signed the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge;
committing to every American that I will oppose any and all efforts to take more of their hard earned
money through a tax increase," - stated Anna Little.

W. Bush, 41 U.S. senators, and 192 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have signed the
Pledge. Additionally, seven Governors and over 1,200 state legislators have signed the Pledge.
"Americans, now more than ever, need leaders committed to fiscal responsibility and pro-growth
economic policies," said Grover Norquist, president of ATR.

"I strongly encourage every candidate for federal and state elective office to sign the Pledge," Norquist
continued.

Copies of the Pledge are available at www.atr.org or by calling (202) 785-0266.

conservatives across America today with the announcement of Gov. Romney's selection of
Rep. Paul Ryan as the next Vice President of the United States of America.

Anna Little Concerned About Veterans Claim Processing Delays

HIGHLANDS, NJ, August 9th – Anna Little, candidate for the Sixth Congressional District, expresses
serious concerns over the inability of the Federal Government to properly handle and process Veterans
health care claims. “Our veterans placed their lives in danger to serve our nation, and they deserve timely
claims processing and proper treatment to address their injuries and illnesses.”

For years, several attempts have been made to correct the Veterans Administration (VA). According to
the VA records, 5.4 million Veterans received treatment in 2011 and received $43 billion worth of
medical care. Unfortunately for our veterans seeking treatment, excessive delays have repeatedly
occurred across the nation. The media has reported that in central Texas, the average processing time for
a Veteran’s claim is more than one year at 393 days, with the national average at 254 days. Reportedly,
the VA only processed 1 million of the 1.3 million claims it received in 2011. This means that 300
thousand veterans have unprocessed claims and did not receive their requested help.
http://www.stripes.com/central-texas-veterans-face-nation-s-longest-wait...
1.184925?localLinksEnabled=false

The VA also has repeatedly lost sensitive patient data over the years, to the extent that they must file
monthly reports to Congress. The reports can be found on the VA website:
http://www.va.gov/about_va/va_notices.asp

These delays and data breaches pose dreadful nightmares for our Veterans unable to receive timely health
care treatment for their service related injuries. However, what do these problems portend for all of us
with the Federal Government poised to oversee all health care claims under the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA), aka Obamacare? If the Federal Government can not properly process 1.3
million new claims while providing services to 5.4 million veterans, how can we trust the government to
provide timely and proper services to 300 million citizens of the United States?

It is alarming that the President and his supporters in the Senate and House of Representatives have
arrogantly and willfully failed to realize the pending collapse of our health care services, in forcing
government bureaucracy to handle patient claims, once PPACA is implemented. It is clearly evident that
the VA needs to hire, train, and retain additional staff, along with continual improvement in protecting
patient data. Our Veterans have served our nation and the neglect in the VA bureaucracy is a clear
example of why we must elect a new President, Senators, and Congressional Representatives who will
repeal PPACA.
