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!"

LITTLE: DOES PALLONE NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TAX 'CUT' AND A TAX 'HIKE?' - OR IS HE DELIBERATELY TELLING UNTRUTHS?

LITTLE: DOES PALLONE NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TAX 'CUT' AND A TAX 'HIKE?'
OR IS HE DELIBERATELY TELLING UNTRUTHS?
(HIGHLANDS, October 14) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to publication of an analysis by Americans for Tax Reform of the 111th Congress' record on tax cuts v. tax hikes - today asked if her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, understands the difference between a tax "cut" and a tax "increase."
"Its clear that Frank Pallone's been in Washington too darn long," said Little. "Apparently, he's been there so long, voting for so many tax increases and so much more spending, that he's now begun to confuse tax 'cuts' with tax 'increases.'
"On NJN's 'On the Record' broadcast over the weekend, he said the current Congress has enacted more tax cuts than any other Congress.
"Here's his exact quote: 'I mean, there's been more tax cuts and efforts to try to, uh, uh, help businesses through tax credits or tax cuts in this Congress than in any other Congress.'
"But Americans for Tax Reform - the nation's leading tax reform group - just yesterday published an analysis that essentially says Frank Pallone doesn't know what he's talking about. According to the ATR analysis, the 111th Congress enacted tax cuts totaling $373.6 billion, of which just $107.6 billion is permanent tax relief.
"Meanwhile, that same Congress enacted tax INCREASES totaling $725.7 billion, of which every single penny is permanent.
"That's a net tax HIKE of $352 billion enacted by the current Congress. So Frank Pallone's insistence that this Congress has passed more tax cuts than any other Congress leads me to ask a simple question - does Frank Pallone not understand the difference between a tax 'cut' and a tax 'increase,' or he is just willfully telling an untruth?
"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE: PALLONE SEEMS TO THINK YOU CAN AFFORD A $1,862/YEAR TAX HIKE. REALLY.

LITTLE: PALLONE SEEMS TO THINK YOU CAN AFFORD A $1,862/YEAR TAX HIKE. REALLY.
(HIGHLANDS, October 1) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - continuing to highlight the vote by her opponent, 22-year incumbent Washington fixture Frank Pallone, to adjourn Congress and return home to campaign without first holding a vote to extend the current tax rates - today pointed out that for the average family in the 6th Congressional District, that translates to a $1,862 per year tax hike.
"Frank Pallone seems to think the average family in our congressional district can afford a $1,862 per year tax hike," said Little. "Maybe that's what he gets for staying in Washington so long. After 22 years living the high life with the lobbyists, it's clear he's forgotten his roots.
"These aren't numbers someone is making up out of thin air. According to the Tax Foundation, failure to extend the current tax rates would mean the average family in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District would see its federal tax liability rise from $6,768 per year to $8,630 per year - that's a hike of $1,862 per year, and represents a 27.5 percent increase," continued Little.
"Two days ago, Nancy Pelosi and her liberal allies like Frank Pallone decided they'd be better off campaigning without first taking a vote to increase taxes on America's job creators," continued Little. "So they just decided to leave town without doing their jobs. In doing so, they effectively chose to vote for a tax increase - because everyone knows they're far less likely to feel constrained after the election, in a lame duck session, than they would have BEFORE the election, when voters could have punished them for voting for a tax increase.
"In other words, getting out of town now translates to higher taxes later.
"But there's a way to stop it - and that's for the American electorate to rise up and say, 'Enough!'"
"When I get to Congress, I'm determined to fight with everything in my power to see to it that NO American taxpayer faces a tax hike - and especially not when we've still got an economy teetering on the brink of a double-dip recession.
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again - you cannot change Washington without changing the PEOPLE in Washington.
"The good news is, there's an election in 33 days!"

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!"
