Democrat Incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone Scores Zero on the Catholic Advocate Scorecard

HIGHLANDS, NJ, October 26 - 24-year incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ) has
scored a zero on the Catholic Advocate Scorecard because he voted against ten bills important
to Catholic voters over the course of his latest term in office.

Anna Little, Candidate for Congressional District 6 in New Jersey, commented today on the
results of the Catholic Advocate's Congressional Scorecard, saying, “It is appalling, but not
surprising, given the incumbent's boast that he wrote the ObamaCare bill, that he would
neither vote for the repeal or the repair of President Obama’s signature legislation.”
What is distressing to me,” continued Little, “is that Congressman Pallone represents a
heavily Catholic district and considers himself a Catholic, yet he has continually voted against
bills that would protect the sanctity of human life, protect marriage, protect the family, and
promote school choice, not just this term, but every term in Congress since 1988. These issues
are near and dear to Catholic voters in Congressional District 6 and nationwide. Voting to
defend human life, marriage and school choice benefits not only Catholics, but all Americans,
as they protect our God-given rights, and they would help all Americans financially.”

The U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops is currently suing the U.S. Government, along with other
Catholic and non-Catholic religious groups, for the infringements on religious freedom
imposed by the seriously flawed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010,
aka "ObamaCare/PalloneCare.”

Little supports the right to life from conception to natural death. Since the Roe v. Wade
decision was handed down 39 years ago, more than 53 million Americans have been aborted,
removing them from America's work force and depriving our country of their contributions in
many areas, including Social Security which is going bankrupt because more people are
drawing out than paying into it. Little supports the right of parents to send their children to
the school that best meets their needs, regardless of whether that school is public or private,
so students do not continue to be locked into failing district schools. The competition fostered
by school choice also increases opportunities for jobs and advancement in the education field.

Little also supports Americans’ right to choose their own health insurance and medical
providers, or forego insurance and contract directly with medical providers, free from
government mandates and any penalties for noncompliance. Mayor Little has committed to
defund and repeal ObamaCare, which infringes on patient rights and religious liberty and will
impose heavy fines on Americans who object. She does however, agree that our health system
needs reform, and will fight for tort reform and limitations on malpractice lawsuits.
