The Bayshore Tea Party Group announced its endorsement of Little after a vote taken by the
group’s members via e-mail. “I hope we can summon up the passion and energy that will be
needed to fight another uphill battle. If we work hard, we can win,” wrote Barbara Gonzalez,
Bayshore’s co-founder, in an e-mail to members announcing the endorsement.

Little wrote to Gonzalez to thank Bayshore’s members, saying that the group’s support “means
so much to our team...You moved our conservative base from 29% in 2008 to 46% in 2010. I
know you can do it again. It is my sincere honor and privilege to work side by side with you as
you take control of your government.”

Headquartered in Middletown, Bayshore backed Little in 2010, propelling her to an upset
primary victory over the well-financed Diane Gooch, who had received the Monmouth County
Republican line in the 2010 primary. Then, aided by the many Tea Party Groups' grass roots
efforts, Little made the race the closest election faced by incumbent Democrat Frank Pallone
since 1992.

Although the West Jersey Tea Party is based outside of the Sixth District in Medford, New
Jersey, the group pledged to work with Little’s campaign to help elect her. In announcing their
endorsements, which also included two other candidates running for other offices, West Jersey
vice president Keith Peacock said, “Each of these candidates represent the values that
conservatives hold as most important…small government, free market capitalism and fiscal
responsibility. We believe that by sending these people to Congress we can help restore the
nation to the right course and reclaim the beacon of freedom of the world.” Little publicly
thanked the West Jersey Tea Party for its support on her campaign’s Facebook
page, www.facebook.com/annalittleforcongress.

The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC is associated with the Independence Hall Tea Party
Association, a tri-state regional Tea Party group covering New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
Delaware. The group’s PAC, or political action committee, is the only federally registered Tea
Party PAC in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Delaware. Bill Green, the Vice President of the
Independence PAC’s New Jersey region, called Little a “Reagan Republican,” continuing that,
“Little waged an impressive campaign against incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone. We think
she can finish the job by defeating him in 2012. Her theme, 'Little government is good
government' perfectly matches our Tea Party philosophy.”
