Statement on Recent Shooting in Colorado

HIGHLANDS, NJ, July 23rd – Commenting on the Aurora, Colorado movie theater massacre, Anna
Little, candidate for the Sixth Congressional District said, “Our sincerest prayers go out to the families of
the victims and survivors of the senseless shooting rampage that occurred on Friday, July 20, in Colorado. This is an example of how the delusions of one individual’s twisted mind can have tragic consequences for the lives of so many families.”

Individuals carrying out incidents of mass violence with firearms tarnish our Second Amendment
freedoms. Gun control advocates exploit such tragedies to blame gun stores, manufacturers, and even the
entertainment industry, rather than hold the individual responsible for their criminal actions. Responsible
and mentally stable citizens understand that they must respect and properly handle firearms, and that the
purpose of firearms is to defend the innocent against acts of violence, not to cause them.

The shooting in Colorado is an act of domestic terrorism. The victims were randomly selected while
attending what they thought would be an entertaining night out. Meanwhile, the President refuses to
recognize the act of domestic terrorism that took place at Fort Hood, Texas, on November 5, 2009. The
President classifies that incident as “workplace violence.” http://nation.foxnews.com/ft-hoodshooting/
2011/12/07/obama-regime-calls-ft-hood-shooting-workplace-violence

Individuals responsible for many of these shootings often exhibit mental health disturbances. We must be
more aware of those who express radical views of violence, so that we can give them proper mental
health care. This can help prevent future attacks on innocent civilians. Additionally, authorities must not
be afraid to investigate violent extremism, such as the Fort Hood shooting. Americans deserve the truth so
they can take steps to protect themselves and others.

We must be vigilant and prepared to prevent future incidents of terrorism in any form. There may be
other “lone wolf” terrorists, like the Colorado movie theater, or there may be bombings, similar to the
April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City attack, the failed car bomb attack on Times Square on May 1, 2010, or the
planned New York City subway attack that was foiled on July 31, 1997. http://articles.cnn.com/1997-08-
01/us/9708_01_brooklyn.bomb.presser_1_hamas-gazi-ibrahim-abu-mezer-lafi-khalil?_s=PM:US
As Americans, we must increase our awareness and vigilance against future threats, as the world is
becoming a less secure place due to economic hardships, political instability, and radical violent
extremism.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and survivors of the Aurora, Colorado attack, as well as to
the victims and survivors of terrorism everywhere.

Statement on the UN Gun Ban Treaty

HIGHLANDS, NJ, July 16th – Anna Little, candidate for the Sixth Congressional District here,
condemned the U.N. Small Arms Ban Treaty that lawmakers in D.C. are taking up this week.
“The U.N. has repeatedly failed to protect innocent civilians, and we have no reason to trust the
U.N.,” she said. “The United Nations anti-gun agenda has only led to mass genocide. U.N.
resolutions have failed to prevent ‘ethnic cleansing,’ murder, sexual assaults, and forced
displacement of civilians by those in authority.”

Currently, the U.N. has sent Kofi Annan as special U.N. Envoy to negotiate peace in the Syrian
civil conflict. Previously, Annan became head of U.N. Peacekeeping Forces in March 1993, and
later became Secretary General of the U.N. During his tenure, the largest modern-day mass
slaughters occurred: in Rwanda in 1994, in Bosnia in 1995, and in Kosovo in 1999.

It is also disturbing that the U.N. is meeting this month to discuss a small-arms weapons ban
treaty. Without small arms, Libyans would have been unable to protect themselves from the
Muammar Gaddafi’s henchmen, not end his dictatorship in 2011. Moreover, it was NOT the
U.N. who helped Libyans, but the direct intervention of military forces from the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO). NATO forces also established peace in Bosnia and Kosovo,
whereas the U.N. utterly failed to protect the people of Rwanda, Bosnia, and Kosovo from
attack.

Incidents can happen anywhere due to the failings of human nature. Here in the United States,
Condoleezza Rice mentioned in her biography how her father joined a neighborhood watch to
protect African American homes from being burned down by racists in the 1960's. The local
police at that time did nothing to stop these attacks, nor did they arrest anyone for burning down
homes in her Alabama neighborhood. If not for the rights protected by the Second Amendment,
her family and neighbors would not have had the rifles or shotguns to protect their families from
the racists at night. This is why our Founders specifically called out this right for all citizens:
When the government and police fail to protect honest civilians, to whom do you turn for
protection?

The U.N. gun ban does nothing to protect people. All it does is create a greater population
subject to victimization by gangs, criminals, and tyrants. The Founding Fathers of the United
States, through hard experience in the lawless frontier and in relations with a royal government
increasingly hostile to their rights as subjects, deemed the right to bear arms as key to individual
self protection and so enshrined this inalienable right in the Second Amendment.

The Founders also saw the right to bear arms as an essential element of freedom, providing our
citizens and all free peoples assurances against tyranny and despotism. They knew that dictators
tend to restrict or ban their subjects from possessing arms in order to help control the population,
as King James II had attempted to do about a century earlier. In the 20th Century, some of
history’s most notorious tyrants, including the leaders of Germany and the Soviet Union in the
mid-1930's, imposed rigid gun restrictions.

But this administration refuses to acknowledge the wisdom of our Founders. U.S. Attorney
General Eric Holder, in February 2009, mentioned his support of the President's ban to sell
assault weapons to Americans. Yet Holder allows assault weapons to be sold and transported to
the drug cartels in Mexico under the disastrous Fast and Furious Operation. Why does the U.S.
Attorney General permit drug cartels to obtain assault weapons, but law-abiding Americans
residing in urban neighborhoods of Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. can not
purchase pistols for self protection?

Like many of my constituents and Americans across the country, I believe the State of Texas’
Castle Law Doctrine is the proper and responsible way for honest citizens to own firearms to
protect their families and homes. Independence is being able to take care of yourself, rather than
relying solely on the government for every form of support.

We are one of the few free countries that allow the average citizen to own firearms. We must
elect a new President, Senator, and Congressional Representative who will protect our Second
Amendment rights and prevent the UN from oppressing our nation. Please write to your elected
officials and contact the President today, and ask them not to give away our right to bear arms to
the U.N.

Anna Little Urges Supporters and Public to Help Victims of Recent Devastating Fires

HIGHLANDS, NJ, July 14 - Three catastrophic fires have raged in Sixth Congressional District
municipalities over the last 6 weeks, leaving more than 200 people homeless. Sixth District
candidate, Anna Little, urges her supporters and the general public to help these displaced
families by making donations of food, baby supplies, clothing, and financial contributions.
In the early morning hours of Sunday, June 3, an electrical malfunction sparked an intense fire
that consumed several homes on Cortland Street in Perth Amboy, leaving 52 homeless and
injuring nine, including a family of three who were hospitalized with second- and third-degree
burns.

On Thursday, July 5, a five-alarm fire occurred at 485 State Street in Perth Amboy, displacing
sixty people. Seven people were injured in the fire.

Then, on Wednesday, July 10, another devastating fire occurred at the Woodbridge Village
apartments in the Avenel section of Woodbridge. The fire destroyed fifty apartments, leaving
another 100 people homeless. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries.

Monetary donations for the victims of the fire in Perth Amboy can be made to the Jewish
Renaissance Foundation (JRF), Attn.: State Street Fire Fund and/or Cortlandt Street Fire Fund,
149 Kearny Ave., Perth Amboy, NJ 08861. Monetary donations may also be made via its web
site, www.jrfnj.org. Drop-offs for new clothing and shoes can be made at the JRF office at 149
Kearny Ave.

The First Presbyterian Church, at 621 East Woodbridge Avenue in Avenel, is handling collections
for victims of the Woodbridge fire, including diapers and toiletries. There are several drop-off
points located elsewhere in the town. For more information about what and how to donate, call
the church at 732-634-1631. Monetary contributions can be made through the Woodbridge
Mayor's Office, with checks made out to the Mayor's Community Charity Fund.

The Impact to American Society if PPACA is not Repealed

HIGHLANDS, NJ, July 12th – Under the guise of providing “optional” birth control services, President Obama and his supporters in the Senate and House of Representatives, led by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Bob Menendez, and Frank Pallone, will deny We the People's freedom to practice religion under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly referred to as Obamacare. By infringing this freedom, Obama and his supporters also impede critical aid to the neediest of Americans, indeed all Americans.

The Catholic Church has advocated for the right to life from conception until natural death, for generations and is the only Christian denomination that continues to stand against the use of artificial birth control. Adults who voluntarily choose to patronize or work at Catholic institutions are already aware of the Church's position on these matters. Adults who wish to receive prescription birth control while employed or attending a Catholic institution can choose to purchase birth control on their own or patronize another institution. No one forces these individuals to adhere to the Church's beliefs, violate their convictions, or attend Catholic institutions. They are free to choose.

However, the PPACA threatens to close down charitable institutions sponsored by the Catholic
Church, through fines and penalties for refusing to perform abortions, sterilizations or provide
prescription birth control. These fines would force these Catholic institutions to choose between
violating the tenets of their faith, or obeying their consciences and facing increased costs that
will have to either be passed on to those receiving their services, or have the increased costs
reduce them to bankruptcy and closure. Either option denies Catholics and all people of faith the
freedom to practice their religion. Not only will Catholics and other Christians suffer from the
denial to operate ministries, but the entire country will suffer from the loss of the Church’s
charity work, which will be especially painful now, in this time of critical need.

Take for example, education: the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million children every year, at a
cost of $10 billion a year to students’ parents and sponsoring parishes.1 The same 2.6 million
children would cost taxpayers an estimated $18 billion to teach in public schools.1 The Church
also operates 230 Catholic colleges and universities in the U.S. which educate more than 700,000
students each year, and they advance to achieve top positions in their fields.1

If the Catholic schools are closed, parents in low-income, urban districts would be forced to send their children back to failing public schools, compounding the existing overcrowding conditions.
College students would be forced to apply and enroll at new institutions, possibly losing
education credits, or possibly paying more tuition in order to meet different college requirements
for graduation. All existing schools and colleges would have to increase public school taxes and
college tuition costs to cover construction of new facilities and added teacher expenses to
accommodate the influx of new students.

The Catholic Church also operates 637 nonprofit hospitals, which treat one in five patients in the
United States every day.1 Through Catholic Charities, the Church also provides food, shelter,
clothing, counseling and other services to the poor and needy nationwide, regardless of the
client’s religious affiliation. As just one small example, the local chapter of Catholic Charities in
the Chicago area provides 2.2-million free meals each year.1 That is just one of the cities served
by Catholic Charities, and just one part of its mission.

If Catholic hospitals, schools, and charities are closed, who will support those in the most dire
need in low income, urban areas? Government programs are already failing to support them now.
By closing down religiously affiliated charities who provide education, health care, and other
services, PPACA will not help people, but rather will push those already struggling to survive to
complete collapse.

We must protect our freedom to practice our faith, as well as our freedom to choose which
schools and hospitals to meet our family’s needs. We must continue to allow the Catholic
Church and other religious groups to provide education, health care, and other services to those
in greatest need, an essential practice of the Christian faith. Closing Catholic and religious
charities will only increase the costs to the taxpayer, while decreasing services to the
communities.

This is the reality of Socialist and Communist forms of government, and the suppression of a
fundamental right: freedom of religion. History has shown us what happened when the Socialist
and Communist-led governments of 1930s’ Germany and Russia moved to suppress the people's
belief in God, eliminated the freedom to practice religion, and forced people to rely on
government for every need.

We must repeal PPACA before this happens. We must elect new leadership for the offices of
President, Senate, and Congress. This is how We the People will protect our United States
Constitution, freedom, and unique way of life.

The Importance of Independence Day In Light of Current Events

HIGHLANDS, NJ, July 3rd – Sixth District Congressional candidate, Anna Little, said that, as
we prepare to celebrate the anniversary of our Independence, “We must unite all Americans to
repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), otherwise known as
Obamacare, and pass a new health care law that protects our freedoms and liberties.”

When the United States of America declared its independence in 1776 from British rule, securing
our God-given rights were of primary importance in forming the new nation's government. These
rights include the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But today, our
rights are being gravely eroded by the President and his supporters in the Senate and House of
Representatives.

The PPACA “tax” and penalties that force individuals to buy health insurance does NOT make
health care affordable, but it does destroy liberty. Its health care mandate destroys our First
Amendment right to religious freedom as it threatens to close religiously affiliated health
institutions that refuse to perform abortions, sterilizations, or offer prescription birth control.
These elective medical procedures are NOT required to maintain women’s health, but are aimed
squarely at destroying life, the first inalienable right named in the Declaration.

Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, who formerly served as the president of the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that the “HHS regulation will mean the destruction of
Catholic institutions in this country.” He laments that Catholic institutions face a pyrrhic choice
of paying exorbitant and unsustainable annual fines or shutting down. As Bishop Michael
Sheridan of Colorado Springs warns, the “highest levels of our federal government are trying to
push a Communist understanding of ‘freedom’ on Americans of faith.”
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/next-battle-catholic-bishops-unanimous-o...

Compare the Church's choices with those faced by couples in China, who must choose between
paying a fine for having a second child, or the child’s life being forcibly terminated. In fact, the
Communist government continues to forcibly perform abortions on women even in late-term
pregnancy, to enforce compliance with their onerous one-child-per-family law.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/15/3-chinese-officials-susp...

While the governments of Europe and Japan do not impose fines or forced abortions, socialized
medicine/socialist policies are slowly bringing about a reality in which only the wealthy can have
a child. Despite having socialized health care, the number of children born per woman is not
enough to prevent the population of these industrialized countries from shrinking. Even having
just one child puts a family at risk for living in poverty and relying on government assistance.
Oppressive taxes and high health care costs associated with child birth and family care largely
factor into this decline: Couples simply can not afford to have and raise children.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/demographic-worries-german-b...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/oct/25/japan-birthrate-decline

Here in the United States, the State of California demonstrates that socialized health care is not
affordable or sustainable. Scores of millionaire actors, professional athletes, and business
professionals reside in California. Despite the state’s ability to tax its many millionaires,
California still has a $15.7 billion deficit on their proposed $92 billion budget. The crippling
costs from their unrealistic health care system contributes significantly to this deficit.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-15/california-budget-heads-toward-...

Our Founding Fathers established the Constitution of the United States of America so their
children and future generations, can live in freedom and prosperity. We must unite now to elect
a new President, Senator, and Congressional Representatives, who will uphold the founders’
vision. We must unite across political parties to elect the best candidates who will give their all
to serve We the People, instead of expecting We the People to give them all we have.
As we celebrate our nation's Independence Day tomorrow with our family, friends, and children,
let us be very thankful for our liberty and way of life. We must not forget that many in Europe
and Asia, either by economic pressure or government oppression, are needlessly denied many
freedoms we enjoy, including the opportunity to have children.

The Importance of Promoting Legal Immigration and Border Security

HIGHLANDS, NJ, July 2nd – Sixth District Congressional candidate, Anna Little, said that the
U.S Supreme Court decision last week to strike down Arizona’s immigration law fails to protect
the citizens of the United States.

While the Supreme Court upheld the Arizona provision allowing officers to inquire about
immigration status during lawful stops, the Court struck down all other provisions of the Arizona
law, holding that federal immigration law preempts them under the U.S. Constitution.
Responding to the Arizona decision, Anna Little said, “A country that does not secure its borders
will cease to be a sovereign nation. Preventing the flow of gang members, criminals, and
terrorists into our country is the first step in protecting our Republic, and ensuring our national
security."

This is where our Federal government has failed the citizens and future citizens of the United
States of America. Many immigrants come to America to escape the high crime rates,
oppression, or extreme poverty that exists in their home country. Unfortunately, many do not
understand how to legally apply for entrance into the U.S.

Yet they are so desperate to escape with their families, that they pay human smugglers to bring
them into the United States illegally, in the mistaken belief that it’s the only way out. Once in the
U.S., however, the smugglers abandon some of these illegal immigrants in the desert, or - in the
case of many of the women - the smugglers kidnap them and force them into prostitution. When
Condoleezza Rice was Secretary of State, the Federal Government took active action in rescuing
women and arresting human traffickers involved in this modern day slave trade.

Criminal gangs smuggle in drugs that harm people's lives, health, and our Nation's economic
productivity. These drug sales enable the gangs to buy firearms that are then turned on law
enforcement officers and innocent citizens.

This is exemplified by “Fast and Furious,” the disastrous operation about which U.S Attorney
General Eric Holder deliberately refuses to answer questions from Congress. This program
willfully permitted automatic weapons to be sold and transported to the drug cartels that threaten
to destabilize Mexico.

Securing the borders is one part of the equation to protect our nation. In order to correct the
immigration situation, we must promote a simplified and timely legal immigration process, so
that everyone has a clear understanding of how to legally enter the U.S.

We need elected officials who will rise to the challenge of promoting legal immigration,
preventing human trafficking, and reducing the influence that the criminals have in our nation.
We must work together to ensure that the United States remains a beacon of freedom and liberty
that encourages people to legally immigrate and become citizens of the country of their choice.
Only by electing a new President, Senate leadership, and a new Congressional Representative
can the U.S. Attorney General be made to answer for the deaths of American and Mexican
Federal Agents that occurred as a result of his approved operations.
