LITTLE TO PALLONE: WHERE ARE THE JOBS?!
(HIGHLANDS, October 22) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to the release of New Jersey's unemployment figures for the month of September, showing that the state lost another 20,200 jobs, and the unemployment rate dipped two-tenths of a percent because so many working-age residents gave up on finding work and decided to leave the labor force - today asked her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, a simple question: "Where are the jobs?
"Mr. Pallone, today I have just one simple question for you," said Little. "Where are the jobs?!
"Today's unemployment figures continue the disturbing trend we've seen over the last 20 months - New Jersey continues to lose jobs," said Little. "In the month of September, New Jersey lost ANOTHER 20,200 jobs.
"That's the worst jobs report in 18 months," continued Little. "Not since March of 2009 has a New Jersey jobs report been this bad.
"Since the official end of the recession in June 2009 - well more than a year ago - New Jersey has LOST 62,400 jobs. It's a sad state of affairs when the government deems a recession officially 'over,' but we continue to lose jobs.
"Worse, the unemployment rate in September declined from 9.6 percent to 9.4 percent - not because more people found work, but because more working-age residents have been out of work so long that they GAVE UP on finding work, and removed themselves from the job market," continued Little.
"That's a sad, sad commentary on the failure of the Pelosi-Pallone strategy. And it's not what Frank Pallone and Nancy Pelosi promised when they rammed through their massive trillion-dollar 'stimulus' package - they promised, if you'll recall, that unemployment wouldn't go higher than 8 percent.
"The best thing the government can do is to lower tax rates and reduce regulation, and create an environment in which the entrepreneurs and job-creators in our nation will put their capital to work for all of us," continued Little. "Instead, for the last 20 months we've gone in exactly the opposite direction. Nancy Pelosi and Frank Pallone have made clear their determination to raise taxes on the job-creating class, and have made clear their determination to keep borrowing money to pay for more failed 'stimulus' programs.
"It's time for a change in direction.
"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

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!"

Little: My Determination To Repeal Obamacare Isn't Little At All

LITTLE: MY DETERMINATION TO REPEAL OBAMACARE ISN'T LITTLE AT ALL
(HIGHLANDS, October 19) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to news reports indicating that Boeing has joined a growing list of major American corporations that have decided to curtail their employees' health benefits in the wake of the government takeover of healthcare - today reiterated her determination to repeal Obamacare when she gets to Congress in January.
"We said from the beginning," said Little, "that if this monstrosity passed, companies would be forced to make a hard choice between dropping coverage for their employees or raising their employees' contributions to their benefits. Yesterday, Boeing announced that it is joining the long and growing list of companies that is already beginning to curtail benefits for its employees - in this case, for their 90,000 non-union employees.
"The government takeover of healthcare - 'Pallonecare,' in honor of his declaration that 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. It's MY bill' - was wrong on several fronts. It is bad medicine, and it is bad for business. And I cannot for the life of me understand why our Representative would think it was a good thing to raise the cost of doing business at a time when we're trying to dig our way out of a jobless recovery.
"Washington just doesn't get it," continued Little. "Rather than take the right kind of actions - like voting to extend ALL the current tax rates for EVERY federal taxpayer, so that the entrepreneurs and job-creators in our economy know what will be the tax rates they face next year, and can make investment decisions accordingly - our leaders focus on growing the size of government and the reach of government, pushing it into areas it has no business being.
"Repealing Pallonecare will be the first step to restoring our nation's economic growth," said Little. "And the second step will be to extend the current tax rates for ALL of America's taxpayers, so that NO ONE faces a tax hike in the middle of a jobless recovery.

Pallone's "Recovery" Dies Amidst Rising Unemployment; Candidate Anna Little slams Pallone and Pelosi for the 54,000 jobs lost in August

Pallone's "Recovery" Dies Amidst Rising Unemployment
Candidate Anna Little slams Pallone and Pelosi for the 54,000 jobs lost in August
Highlands, NJ- Pallone and Pelosi have whipped up a toxic mixture of reckless spending, "Bureaucrats-Gone-Wild" regulation, and top-down economic control -- and breaking economic news reveals just how deadly it has been for our economy.
The US Labor Department announced Friday that the nation's unemployment rate has once again begun to climb; it currently stands at 9.6 percent, 48 percent higher than its level when President Barack Obama was elected in November 2008.
Source: Washington Post
Candidate Anna Little believes that it is time for Frank Pallone and Nancy Pelosi to take responsibility for the economic mess that they have made. "By excessive borrowing, taxing, spending, and regulating, progressives are doing precisely the opposite of what we should be doing to allow our economy to thrive and produce jobs," Little said. "They need to get out of the way of the private sector economy."
Frank Pallone and Nancy Pelosi, however, don't seem to be getting the message. They have supported calling the latest economic news -- a net monthly loss of 54,000 jobs -- "positive news." Little, however, understands what the people in Congressional District 6 are thinking: Who in their right mind sees the loss of thousands of jobs as positive?
Even worse, there are hints to the media that they are planning a "Stimulus II." Reports and op-eds in the New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor, and other liberal media organizations suggest that it will contain direct aid to states, a disastrous and expensive policy eliminated decades ago -- as well as massive investments in public works, a tried-and-failed strategy that discouraged private investment and prolonged the Great Depression.
Sources: New York Times
Christian Science Monitor
Like a medieval doctor bleeding his patient, Progressives insist that the right treatment is more government, more leeches. "It is working as intended," The Times opined Saturday.
"It is time that America wakes up to the progressives' perverse intentions," Little said. "If we allow them, they will destroy our prosperity, our way of life, and what makes our country great."

Impact of President Obama’s Economic Policies on New Jersey Businesses and Families
As New Jersey residents know all too well, the economic climate in our State is dire and has gotten worse since the current Administration has embarked on its deficit spending spree. As the President descends on New Jersey to speak about the economy, some key facts about New Jersey’s economic state should be remembered:
· New Jersey has lost 85,600 jobs since President Obama took office in January, 2009 *
· New Jersey’s unemployment rate has remained stagnant at well over 9%, 33rd in the nation, for 13 consecutive months since May, 2009**
*Source: http://www.app.com/article/20100727/NEWS03/100727063/President-Obama-s-NJ-visit-comes-as-businesses-struggle-in-dour-economy
**Source: http://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm
The President’s economic policies have not worked. The Administration’s efforts will not work because they cannot work. The only vehicle capable of reinvigorating our State’s stagnant economy and putting people back to work is a free and vibrant market led by small businesses. Congress’ reckless spending and additional layers of bureaucratic red tape will not do the job.
To highlight the damaging impact of President Obama’s economic policies on New Jersey small businesses and families, coinciding with the President’s visit to New Jersey’s 6thCongressional District, Mayor and Republican nominee for Congress, Anna Little, invites you to a Press Conference:
DATE: Wednesday, July 28, 2010
TIME: 11:00 a.m.
PLACE: Burger King, 260 Plainfield Ave, Edison, NJ
PARTICIPANTS: Anna Little, Republican Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, NJ-6
At the press conference, Anna Little will be discussing the continuing economic crisis facing many New Jersey Businesses and Families living in the 6th District. The press conference will include the current state of the economy and offer solutions to help New Jersey recover from the current recession that the failed policies of the Obama Administration and Democratic led Congress have exacerbated over the past 18 months.
