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
(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.
"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

Pallone to Speak about Women’s Health
Congressional Candidate Anna Little says His Stance on Healthcare Tells the Real Story
Highlands, NJ: Frank Pallone will be speaking about women’s health today at Middlesex County College, but given his vote to nationalize health care doctors and conscientious citizens have indicated that Pallone is less than qualified to speak on women’s health.
The controversy over women’s health and the effects of government-controlled health care began last November when the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force discouraged women between the ages of forty and forty-nine from receiving routine mammograms, claiming the overall benefit proved small. The report ignored the effects early screenings have in saving patients' lives.
Though only recommendations, the guidelines were interpreted as the first step towards health care rationing. Representative Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn, confirmed that, “the guidelines that came out this week by the Preventive Services Task Force have a direct link to what would be offered if the House and the Senate bills were to go into law." Pallone, proud author of H.R. 3200, has been outspoken in his support of nationalizing health care. (Source: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mammography-recommendations-form-government-rationing-critics/story?id=9150471&page=1)
Dr. Alieta Eck, a practitioner of internal medicine in Piscataway, NJ, concurs: "Once the government is in control of our health care, patients will be looked upon as groups of people rather than as individuals. If a thousand mammograms yields only one case of breast cancer, the government decision-makers might say that mammograms are not worth the money and remove them from the list of approved tests. The best research and innovation in cancer care is performed here in the United States, something that will surely decline if the government takes over."
The debate has heated now that the FDA has rescinded its recommendation for the drug Avastin as an option for breast cancer patients. Its report is based on the drug’s expense as compared to its ability to extend a patient’s life. Highlands Mayor Anna Little, Republican nominee for the people’s 6th District seat stated, "I believe that the patient should be able to choose her form of treatment, in private consultation with her doctor, without worrying whether the government views it as necessary or economical.” (Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7948878/US-breast-cancer-drug-decision-marks-start-of-death-panels.html)

Mayor Little joins NJ Tea Party and Independence Hall Tea Party presenting Healthcare Petition to Governor Christie
For Immediate Release
April 27, 2010
Contact: Leigh Ann Bellew
Tel: (732)216-4771
(Trenton, NJ) – This morning Mayor Anna Little met with representatives of the NJ Tea Party and the Independence Hall Tea Party as they presented a petition in opposition to the Health Care Bill to Governor Christie's Aide. The petition was in the form of an eight foot long scroll bearing over 900 signatures and comments opposing "Obamacare". Tea Party Representatives expressed both constitutional and economic bases for their objections to the bill.
"Citizens' objections to the Health Care Bill are well founded and based on violations of the Constitutional rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness," said Mayor Little. Mayor Little went on to state that"'Obamacare' not only obligates individuals and employers to purchase health insurance, but further requires policies to be acceptable to the federal government. The Constitution does not empower federal government to require citizens or employers to make specific purchases."
Governor Christie's Aide explained that the Governor was reviewing the matter and that the meeting had been set for her to listen to the concerns of constituents and bring that information to the Governor for consideration. Tea Party representatives explained that they were supporters of Governor Christie's fiscally conservative policies. However, the impact of the Health Care Bill on constitutional rights makes the issue of paramount importance.
Mayor Little stated that an additional concern raised by the Health Care Bill was the potential rationing of care, the need for federal government officials to approve treatment alternatives, and the violation or abolition of doctor patient privilege. "This Health Care Bill comes close to violating the right to Life, in that it alludes to the possible denial of treatment for lack of government approval.", said Mayor Little. "It is this aspect of the bill that raises such alarm among the citizenry."
A total of 1200 signatures were submitted to the Governor's office opposing the Health Care Bill on legal grounds. Governor Christie's office will advise regarding his decision on this matter once review is complete.
"Tea Party organizations should be proud of their work relating to this violation of fundamental constitutional rights. It is an honor and a privilege to join with them in their efforts to bring these violations to light." concluded Mayor Little.
