LITTLE CAMP: IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, THE MEDIA HAS STARTED COVERING US ... PART TWO!
(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign launched the final 36 hours of the campaign by reminding its supporters of the favorable media clips the campaign has received as both New Jersey and national observers have - finally, and not a moment too soon! -- noticed that the campaign is peaking at just the right time.
Below are excerpts from some of the campaign's recent media coverage:
Here in Central New Jersey, Republican Anna Little has never before run for Congress, and she has just 2½ cents for every dollar her Democratic opponent can put into the race ...
"Anna's Army" is one example of the tea party's loosely organized effort nationwide to get out the vote against the far more experienced operation being waged by labor unions and President Barack Obama's political team. Her supporters come by the dozens, often more than 100 at a time, to hand-deliver campaign material.
"So many of us, it's the very first time we've been involved in politics," says one of them, Nick Romagnoli, a semiretired commercial real estate broker who worries about the national debt. "We've just had enough."
...
In New Jersey, Frank Giarlo, a 74-year-old former Democrat who doesn't identify himself with the tea party, was among those who got a visit from Anna's Army. He told his visitors his health insurance costs have risen dramatically since he retired 13 years ago and he fears the health care law will make his rates still higher. He asked the volunteers to leave a Little campaign sign for his yard.

We'll know in the early hours next Wednesday how it all turned out. But here is one way you'll know it's huge: Anna Little wins in New Jersey. If she wins it means the Republican wave swept all before it ...
When Ms. Little spoke the people in front had to lower their signs. She's 4-foot-11½. She said, "It is my honor to be part of your grass-roots movement." She said, "I'm gonna bring the Jersey shore to the Washington Beltway to straighten them out." This got cheers. "A Jersey girl can take a California girl any day." That got cheers too ...
Ms. Little is confident of victory. She believes no one understands the mood of the voters this year: "No one's noticed what's going on." The Democrats are "not in line with the people." The No. 1 issues: jobs and the economy. After that, health care. "You have government and insurance companies together directing what kind of insurance must be purchased by an individual or employer." Her opponent, as head of a House subcommittee on health care, was a major supporter of ObamaCare. It caused tumultuous town-hall meetings in August 2009 ...
She agrees there is no civil war in the party-yet. All people want are solutions to our problems. "They don't care who does it. They are happy to be in the Republican Party as long as it does not compromise its principles. . . . They will hug me and kiss me now, but they'll be on top of me when it comes time for me to vote and they will hold my feet to the fire ..."
She was asked if they call her the Little Engine That Could. "No," she said. "They call me the Little Engine That Will."

In New Jersey, 11-term Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone has seen his lead over the Republican tea-party favorite Anna Little narrow rapidly as undecided independents have broken in Ms. Little's favor.
"If Little wins, it will represent a complete annihilation of the Democrats in this race, and it could well happen," says Patrick Murray, who directs the state's Monmouth University Polling Institute. Across the state, he said, "independents are going for Republicans more than I've ever seen before."

LITTLE: ZERO-FOR-TWO IS NOT A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF
(HIGHLANDS, October 21) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to news reports indicating that growth in healthcare spending is shrinking as a result of the stagnant economy and the recently enacted government takeover of healthcare - today reiterated her determination to fight to repeal Obamacare when she gets to Congress.
"Yesterday, the Chief Financial Officer of Johnson & Johnson reported that the growth in healthcare spending is decelerating," said Little. "The Wall Street Journal reported him attributing this to the sluggish economy. Patients are postponing elective surgeries, and some are worried about whether or not they should take on new medical expenses. Other challenges, he said, include the loss of COBRA benefits for those who have lost jobs and can't find new ones, and the rising costs of healthcare as a result of Obamacare.
"So this Congress is zero-for-two - they still haven't created the jobs they promised, and as a result, many Americans are being forced to postpone medical procedures they need.
"For 22 years, Frank Pallone has told us he knows best. Well, the citizens of the 6th Congressional District know better than he or any government bureaucrat what's best for them and their families. And that's why they're flocking to our campaign.
"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"
PALLONE, SCARED, REFUSES TO TALK TO DOCTORS ABOUT HEALTHCARE, CANCELS JOINT APPEARANCE WITH LITTLE

PALLONE, SCARED, REFUSES TO TALK TO DOCTORS ABOUT HEALTHCARE, CANCELS JOINT APPEARANCE WITH LITTLE
(HIGHLANDS, October 20) - Twenty-two year incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone today cited a "scheduling conflict" - the lamest of lame excuses used by those who don't want to debate their opponents - in pulling out of a scheduled joint appearance with his challenger, Anna Little, planned for tomorrow night. The two had been scheduled to appear together before the Monmouth County Medical Society at the Oyster Point Hotel Red Bank, NJ at 7 PM. Anna Little plans to keep her commitment to the healthcare community and is scheduled as planned.
"Frank Pallone is scared to talk to doctors in New Jersey about the government takeover of healthcare he rammed through the Congress," said Little. "And that's disappointing. Not surprising, I must say, given his efforts to do everything he can to find ways not to have to appear on the same stage or in the same forum with me, but disappointing nevertheless.
"The good news," continued Little, "is that I'll have all that time to myself to hear the doctors complain about PalloneCare!"
Last week, Pallone refused to appear on set with Little to tape NJN's "On the Record" broadcast; instead, Little sat by herself in studio to take questions from Michael Aron, while Pallone was interviewed in his office by NJN's Adrienne Supino. Meanwhile, Little has accepted an invitation for a debate to be hosted and aired by News 12 New Jersey, but the station is still waiting for a response from Pallone.
Rather than take questions from New Jersey doctors and constituents concerned about the passage of PalloneCare (remember, he is on record declaring that "This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill."), the 22-year-incumbent has chosen instead to opt for the potentially more receptive audience of the Ocean Township Democratic Club.
According to an event invitation posted yesterday at Organizing for America - a Democratic National Committee front group - the Ocean Township Democratic Club will play host to Pallone at 7:30 PM.
You can read about the Ocean Township Democratic Club event here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gp3kmq
"It's one thing to disrespect your constituents so much that you don't take their views into account when deciding how to cast a vote in Congress," concluded Little. "But when you don't even respect them enough to show up and take their questions, and opt instead for the refuge of an appearance before a local Democratic Club, you've taken disrespect to a new level.
"Remember, you can't change Washington without changing the people you send there!"

OP-ED from September 16, 2010
No one can agree with any fellow human being on every issue. We are destined to express differing opinions from time to time as we travel our different paths from stop to stop on the campaign trail, and while working in elected office. Governor Christie and I agree on the matters that are of paramount importance to taxpayers: Jobs, the Economy, and Taxes. Together, we will ensure that New Jersey’s economy is moving again as quickly as possible, and that tax burdens on all taxpayers are reduced so that the New Jersey’s economy can be restored to health. I am proud to be described as a “Chris Christie style Republican”, and it is my honor to announce when visiting other states that I am a Mayor, and candidate for Congress from New Jersey, Chris Christie’s state.
On Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at the home of Kenny Avon in Point Pleasant Governor Christie honored me with a keynote address at my fundraiser for my race against Frank Pallone. In addition to stating that there was no other Congressional Incumbent that he wanted to defeat more than Frank Pallone, Governor Christie congratulated me on my tenacity and my determination to ensure that taxpayers in Congressional District 6 received honest, passionate and steadfast representation in Washington. Governor Christie stated that he knew I could win my race because what I am doing has been done before. Governor Christie was outspent, but not outworked in his gubernatorial race. He won handily against then Governor Corzine frankly because the people of New Jersey had had enough.
My supporters are Chris Christie’s supporters. They believe in me as they believe in him. I am proud to be associated with this trailblazer who has laid the foundation for the grass roots campaign I run today. Governor Christie has stated he would like to campaign with me in this race. I’ve invited him to appear at one of my Saturday Ground Assault meetings, and I’ll be honored to participate in a Diner tour in the near future. I am grateful for the efforts of Governor Christie and GOP Chairman Jay Webber in securing the support of the Republican National Committee in my race. Our victory November 2 will be truly be a victory for Team New Jersey. Little Government is Good Government, New Jersey. Let’s take our government back!

LITTLE TROUNCES PALLONE AT LWV DEBATE
(ABERDEEN, October 18) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - buoyed by the support of a crowd where her supporters outnumbered 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone's supporters by at least 10-to-1 - handily dispatched Pallone in their League of Women Voters debate last night at the Temple Shalom in Aberdeen.
Usually, a post-debate press release includes some chest thumping by the campaign, claiming victory. And our headline certainly engages in a bit of that chest thumping, to be sure.
But a picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words - and a YouTube clip, as we say, is worth even more. So rather than tell you what happened last night in Aberdeen, we're going to let last night's encounter speak for itself. Simply click on the links below to see the exchanges between Anna Little and Frank Pallone on each of the key issues addressed.
