LITTLE: SENIORS WILL HAVE NO BETTER FRIEND THAN I
(HIGHLANDS, October 29) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little focused her campaign's message on the large population of seniors residing in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District - seniors who have been disproportionately hurt by the votes cast by Frank Pallone during his 22 years in the Congress.
"All over our district, I meet seniors who are worried for the future - theirs, and their children's and grandchildren's," said Little. "They see a government taking over more and more of their decisions. They see a political class that seems no longer to care about them, despite the sacrifices they've made to allow younger generations to enjoy a lifestyle they couldn't. And they fear a government that doesn't seem to know how best to get our economy back on track.
"New Jersey seniors should know this - they'll have no better friend than I, when I go to Congress in January," continued Little.
"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a vote to cut $500 billion from Medicare.
"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a series of votes over the last 22 years to raise the national debt from $2.6 trillion to $13.6 trillion, and pass on a debt of more than $30,000 to every man, woman and child in this country - including our grandchildren.
"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast votes to put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients - including their senior patients, who may now find themselves forced off their current health care coverage and into some new plan that doesn't provide the benefits to which they've grown accustomed.
"And it was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast vote after vote for higher taxes and more government spending - higher taxes and more spending that saps our economy, drives up the cost of living, makes New Jersey one of the least affordable states in the country, and forces many of them to become 'plane ticket grandparents' - the kind of grandparents who need to use a plane ticket to see their grandchildren, because they've been forced to move out of state for their retirements, and only see their grandchildren at the holidays, when they get on a plane to come back to New Jersey.
"On all these fronts and more, our current Congressman has failed to lead for seniors," said Little. "He has raised their taxes, borrowed their money, and put their children and grandchildren in debt. It's time we stopped that, and moved in a new direction - a direction that gives New Jersey's seniors more freedom of action, leaves more money in their pockets, and secures their ability to see the doctor of their choice.
"In four days, New Jersey will vote, and we'll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington," said Little.
"If you think we're headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man," said Little. "But if you think we're moving in the wrong direction, if you think you're ready for a change, then I need your vote - because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

Little: Why Is Frank Pallone's Web Site Silent On Obama (Pallone) Care?

Little: Why Is Frank Pallone's Web Site Silent On Obama (Pallone) Care?
(HIGHLANDS, October 28) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little today maintained her campaign's focus on Frank Pallone's recent silence on his role in the passage of the government takeover of health care, frequently referred to in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District as "PalloneCare."
"Back in the spring, when he thought it was going to be popular, my opponent infamously said of the government takeover of health care, 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill,'" said Little. "But now that the public has learned more about what's in it, and it's not nearly as popular as he thought it was going to be, he's gone radio silent - why, his campaign web site's 'On the Issues' section doesn't even MENTION health care!"
"Sadly, this is not surprising," said Little. "All we've heard from Frank Pallone is distortions of my views, rather than an explanation for the votes he cast for a failed trillion-dollar stimulus package, a failed cap and trade policy that would raise everyone's electricity bills, and the government takeover of health care.
"Of course, it's perfectly understandable - if I had cast a vote to cut Medicare by $500 billion, reduce patient choice, put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients, and raise taxes, I probably wouldn't want to draw attention to it, either.
"But that's the big difference between Frank Pallone and me - I would never have cast that vote in the first place!
"In five days, New Jersey will vote, and we'll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington," said Little.
"If you think we're headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man," said Little. "But if you think we're moving in the wrong direction, if you think you're ready for a change, then I need your vote - because 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.
"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"
