Highlands, NJ– Mayor Anna Little announced her support for Gov. Jan Brewer’s bold position on immigration in Arizona. She stands with the Governor and people of Arizona who declare that the federal government has failed to protect them from criminals coming into this country illegally.
“Section 287g of the Immigration and Nationality Act is evidence of the intention of the federal government to delegate responsibility to state and local officials for enforcement of immigration law. The Arizona state legislature merely followed the suggestion of the federal government in passing their own state legislation similar to provisions of 287g to assist in immigration enforcement,” said Mayor Little, who is an immigration attorney.
The March 27 shooting death of rancher Rob Krentz on his property in southeastern Arizona demonstrates that not all individuals who cross the border illegally are interested in becoming productive residents. This incident proves that there are violent criminals coming across our borders illegally.
Under Arizona's new law, immigrants unable to produce documents showing they are allowed to be in the country could be arrested and jailed for up to six months as well as fined $2,500. Arizona law enforcement officers could arrest people found to be undocumented and turn them over to federal immigration officers. This procedure is very similar to what section 287g of the Immigration and Nationality Act already permits.
Yuk Wong, a citizen of Hong Kong, residing legally in Hazlet says “I’m a minority and I don’t mind to show police my identification if it means that I will be safer, and my tax money won’t go to provide benefits for people who should not be here. I believe that everyone should go through the process of legal immigration. It cost me a lot of money and took many years to get my permanent residence status. Why should people come here illegally and get treated better than me? I love this country, and I respect its laws. I question whether people coming to this country illegally care about this country, because they obviously don’t respect its laws.”
Mayor Little stated, “A civilized society can live by only one rule of law, the written law. It is time the United States conformed government practice to the written law in immigration enforcement. Illegal immigration must be eradicated, and lawful immigration practices must be upheld as the only means of entry to the United States.”

Mayor Little joins NJ Tea Party and Independence Hall Tea Party presenting Healthcare Petition to Governor Christie
For Immediate Release

Tel: (732)216-4771
(Trenton, NJ) – This morning Mayor Anna Little met with representatives of the NJ Tea Party and the Independence Hall Tea Party as they presented a petition in opposition to the Health Care Bill to Governor Christie's Aide. The petition was in the form of an eight foot long scroll bearing over 900 signatures and comments opposing "Obamacare". Tea Party Representatives expressed both constitutional and economic bases for their objections to the bill.
"Citizens' objections to the Health Care Bill are well founded and based on violations of the Constitutional rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness," said Mayor Little. Mayor Little went on to state that"'Obamacare' not only obligates individuals and employers to purchase health insurance, but further requires policies to be acceptable to the federal government. The Constitution does not empower federal government to require citizens or employers to make specific purchases."
Governor Christie's Aide explained that the Governor was reviewing the matter and that the meeting had been set for her to listen to the concerns of constituents and bring that information to the Governor for consideration. Tea Party representatives explained that they were supporters of Governor Christie's fiscally conservative policies. However, the impact of the Health Care Bill on constitutional rights makes the issue of paramount importance.
Mayor Little stated that an additional concern raised by the Health Care Bill was the potential rationing of care, the need for federal government officials to approve treatment alternatives, and the violation or abolition of doctor patient privilege. "This Health Care Bill comes close to violating the right to Life, in that it alludes to the possible denial of treatment for lack of government approval.", said Mayor Little. "It is this aspect of the bill that raises such alarm among the citizenry."
A total of 1200 signatures were submitted to the Governor's office opposing the Health Care Bill on legal grounds. Governor Christie's office will advise regarding his decision on this matter once review is complete.
"Tea Party organizations should be proud of their work relating to this violation of fundamental constitutional rights. It is an honor and a privilege to join with them in their efforts to bring these violations to light." concluded Mayor Little.

Little and Gooch address the Two River Republican Club
By Sherry Conohan
FAIR HAVEN - Both newspaper owner Diane Gooch and Highlands Mayor Anna C. Little, who are competing for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 6th District, presented themselves as the best candidate to defeat incumbent Democratic Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. in a GOP forum last week.
In their effort to win votes for the primary election on June 8 from those attending the Two River Republican Club Candidates Night, both Gooch and Little went on to assail the burgeoning national debt and the health care bill. Speaking at The Raven and the Peach on Thursday, April 15, Gooch, who is the Monmouth County Republican vice chair, said the big spending by Congress is "taking away our opportunity, our children's opportunity, our grandchildren's opportunity.
"We are spending money like drunken sailors," she said, adding that she could see spending some stimulus money on needed roads and bridges "that go somewhere, that help us," but she didn't believe in wasting money.
She cited as an example of the worst government waste the spending of $217,000 to find out if females in college are more likely to hook up with boys if they are drinking alcohol. "Hello? This is not hard to figure out," she said. Gooch said she and her husband founded a company that created 1,700 private sector jobs.
"You know what? The stimulus package has not created 1,700 private sector jobs," she asserted. "Frank Pallone has never created a private sector job. Nor has he ever worked in a private sector job."
Gooch, Rumson, recalled how a friend told her if spending got us into this, he didn't see how spending is going to get us out. "I thought, you are right, you are so on. This is common sense.
What we are lacking in Washington is common sense." Little, a former Monmouth County freeholder, said that through her nine years of experience in local and county government, she has learned what she believes it takes for government to work. "And I don't think I need to tell all of you informed Republicans that government today in Washington simply does not work."
"Taxes are completely out of control," she continued. "We have the poor who have been taught by government to live on a handout rather than learning they are capable of supporting themselves. We have illegal immigrants who flood our hospitals for charity care, which we then have to subsidize. We then have the wealthy on Wall Street. When Wall Street managers mismanage funds or manage funds badly such that they are not accountable to their shareholders, our government has taught them that's okay. The government will bail them out.
"How does our government do this, ladies and gentlemen?" she asked the audience. "On our backs. The middle class. We're working. We're earning wages. They're being taxed and our tax dollars are being used to support the poor, to provide medical care to the illegals and to bail out the wealthy."'
To add insult to injury, Little went on, the government in March passed the health care bill telling Americans it is going to control their health care.
"They are going to obligate individuals and employers to obtain health care policies that are acceptable to the government - not your choice, not my choice, not our doctor's recommendation - but are acceptable to the government," she said.
"In essence the government is going to tell us what hospitals we can go to, what doctors we may choose, what treatments we might be eligible for and, in essence, whether we live or whether we die."
Gooch also said she was concerned about the health care legislation. She said her mother was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer at the age of 42. She noted there is now a pilot program of government and insurance companies that wants to start mammograms at the age of 50. "My mother got diagnosed at 42. We're going backwards in health care, not forward," she charged. "I find this absolutely frightening."
Gooch also said that while growing up on Long Island, in a very modest home with a loving family, her father lost his job. "I learned a lot from that," she said. "I have true empathy for people who have lost their jobs today."
Little, a lawyer, said she believes in the Constitution of the United States. "This document is the foundation of our government. It is instruction for how our government should operate," she said. "In the Constitution there are certain enumerated powers given to the Congress. Our federal government has extended itself well beyond those powers. What I intend to do in Washington is to bring the government back to the intentions of the founding fathers immediately.
"I believe that through the grass roots movement that I have become part of that we will elect enough conservative members of the House that we will accomplish that, beginning next year," she added.
"As the people of the United States, we are the government," she continued. "It is very important for each one of us to remember that in order for our government to work properly, we as a people have to direct it. We have to be in communication with our representatives and, even more importantly, our representatives need to be in communication with us.
"I want to march on Washington... for myself, for my family and for all of you," Little declared. "It's time to send a representative from Congressional District 6 with your voice, your direction.
"I plan on working very hard during this election season to convince you that I am the best choice to beat Representative Frank Pallone and to put a true representative of District 6 in Congress." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had said they would find out what's in the health care bill after it was passed, Gooch said, pledging that. if she's elected she will know what's in a bill before she votes for it.
"I will not pass a bill unless I read it and know what's in it," she said. "I think that's pretty important. Obviously some people today don't think that's important and we need to get them out. And Frank Pallone is one of them. He sponsored the health care bill. And you know what? My guess is he doesn't know everything that's in it. And that doesn't work for me."
She said she is connected to the community through her work in many charities and the newspaper she and her husband Michael own, The Two River Times.™ "I know what's going on," she said.
"I want to go to Washington because... they are not listening and I will listen," she concluded. "So I ask for your support and I will beat Frank Pallone."
The 6th Congressional District takes in a number of the Shore communities in Monmouth County, including Keyport, Union Beach, Keansburg, part of Middletown, Atlantic Highlands, Highlands, Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, Long Branch, Deal, Allenhurst, Loch Arbour, Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Bradley Beach, Belmar, Avon, Lake Como, also Red Bank, West Long Branch, Ocean Township, Interlaken, Neptune City, Hazlet, Matawan, Aberdeen and part of Marlboro and Manalapan, as well as part of Middlesex County.
Fair Haven Mayor Michael Halfacre, who was formerly a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 12th congressional district, announced his endorsement of Gooch last week. Gooch has all four county organization lines in the 6th congressional district, which includes parts of Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset and Union counties.
Little has received the endorsement of the Bayshore Tea Party Group.
