LITTLE CAMP: THE FINAL ARGUMENT
(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign wrapped up its final full day on the campaign trail today with its Final Argument.
If you believe that:
* Your taxes are too low
* Washington doesn't spend enough of your money already
* Washington bureaucrats should be involved in your personal health care decisions
* Borrowing trillions of dollars and handing the bill to your grandchildren is fair
* Our nation is heading in the right direction
Then your vote is clear - 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone is your man.
But if you believe that:
* Your taxes are too high
* Washington already spends too much of your money
* Washington bureaucrats have no business between you and your Doctor
* Borrowing trillions of dollars and handing the bill to your grandchildren is immoral
* Our nation is heading in the wrong direction
Then your vote is just as clear - Anna Little needs your vote!

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.

"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!"

LITTLE: PALLONE CAST DECIDING VOTE TO ADJOURN BEFORE ACTING TO PREVENT MASSIVE TAX HIKE

LITTLE: PALLONE CAST DECIDING VOTE TO ADJOURN BEFORE ACTING TO PREVENT MASSIVE TAX HIKE
(HIGHLANDS, September 29) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to today's House vote to adjourn Congress before holding a vote to enact legislation blocking planned tax hikes - this afternoon sharply criticized her opponent, 22-year incumbent Rep. Frank Pallone, for casting the deciding vote to adjourn Congress before acting to prevent a massive tax hike.
"Today, Frank Pallone showed why it's time for him to leave Congress," said Little. "With an economy in the ruts, he cast the deciding vote to adjourn the Congress before even holding a vote on whether or not to block a massive tax hike. His deciding vote will lead to continued uncertainty about what's to come for our nation's job creators, and will make job creation that much more difficult in the weeks and months to come.
"If Frank Pallone was half as concerned about his constituents' jobs as he is about his own," said Little, "we'd all be in better shape.
"Fifteen million Americans are looking for work, and they were looking to the Congress to block a massive tax hike scheduled to go into effect on New Year's Day. Our unemployed friends and neighbors are smart enough to know that raising taxes on small businesses and entrepreneurs is the wrong thing to do when it comes to creating the conditions for economic growth.
"There were 39 Democrats who crossed party lines to create a bipartisan coalition supporting no adjournment before voting to block the scheduled tax hikes. Sadly, our Congressman was not one of them.
"Instead, the liberal Democrats now running the Congress jammed through a resolution of adjournment by a one-vote margin - and that vote was Frank Pallone's.
"The simple fact is, you cannot change Washington without changing the PEOPLE in Washington.
"The good news is, there's an election in 34 days. And then the people will have a chance to make the change we need!"

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)

Anna’s Army Tackles Matawan
Volunteer Corps nearly doubles in size
Highlands, NJ: In the second week of her ground game, to songs like “The Marine Corps Hymn” and “Stars and Stripes Forever”, nearly 50 volunteer walkers for Anna Little, Republican Congressional nominee for New Jersey’s 6th District, made nearly 3,000 phone calls and knocked on over 1,700 doors in less than four hours this past Saturday in Matawan, NJ. Members of the Press are invited to witness and document Anna’s burgeoning volunteer effort in South Amboy this Saturday, August 7th. Details will be announced shortly.
(Please contact Press@annalittleforcongres
Beginning the day at 8 a.m. at the Park Place Diner on Rt. 34, hundreds of invited constituents and curious passersby stopped by to hear Anna’s stance on the issues before volunteers fanned out across the town. Working in teams of 2 or 3, with more experienced volunteers now mentoring the nearly two dozen newcomers, “Anna’s Army” personally touched over 1,700 homes in Matawan in less than four hours. For those of you scoring at home, that’s over 400 homes per hour for four hours.
Growing daily by leaps and bounds, Anna's volunteer 'army' will continue the campaign train similarly this Saturday, August 7, canvassing South Amboy starting at 8:30 am at a location to be announced shortly.

Newt Gingrich Endorses New Jersey Congressional Candidate Mayor Anna Little

Highlands, NJ—Republican congressional candidate and Highlands Mayor Anna Little has received an endorsement from former Speaker of the House and General Chairman of American Solutions, Newt Gingrich. The endorsement comes as no surprise to those who understand that both Little and Gingrich stand on strong conservative values.
Fundamentally, both Gingrich and Little believe in limited government which gives power to the individual rather than the state. According to Mayor Little, “After enumerating specific rights retained by the people in the first eight amendments, the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment spelled out the principles of limited government…In essence both amendments state that the people retain certain rights, and that those powers not granted to the federal government and not prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states or the people.”
Gingrich and Little also share similar concerns for the economy and job growth throughout the nation. As expressed by Gingrich, “America’s economic woes are not due to the excesses of capitalism, as the left claims, but instead due to abandoning supply-side, strong dollar policies for easy credit, deficit spending, and stimulus.” When explaining New Jersey’s economic woes, Little commented that “All levels of Government, from the Federal Government to the States to local municipalities, need to work cooperatively to lower the crushing tax burden on our families.” She believes that out-of-control taxation and regulation penalizes America’s workers and businesses.
Mayor Little joins Gingrich in opposing the government’s takeover of healthcare. “Americans have a Constitutional right to choose their own healthcare insurance and medical providers, or fore go insurance coverage and contract directly with medical providers, free from government mandates with the resulting fines and possible imprisonment for noncompliance.” Little has made numerous appearances in Trenton to oppose the controversial bill.
As an immigration attorney, Anna Little thoroughly understands the need for a secure border and Gingrich artfully states Little’s position when he says, “America is a nation of immigrants… However, America is also a nation of laws. We must have a lawful process of immigration and should not enact policies that encourage illegal immigration…We must insist the government live up to its promise to the American people to secure the border and adequately police business hiring."
Gingrich and Little agree on a multitude of issues because they recognize that Washington does not seem serious about border security while dominating its own people through excessive taxation and regulation. In endorsing Anna Little and her candidacy, Gingrich has recognized an ally—one who devotes herself to preserving the inalienable rights of American citizens.

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
**Source: http://www.bls.gov/web/lau
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.
