Anna C. Little for Congress Inc.
(HIGHLANDS, September 29) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to continued failure by the Congress to enact legislation blocking planned tax hikes - today reiterated her commitment to maintaining current tax rates for all taxpayers and preventing the massive tax hike scheduled to take place on New Year's Day.
"Another day, another 24 hours of uncertainty on taxes," said Little. "Meanwhile, the clock counts down to the biggest tax hike in American history - something that will take our sluggish economy further downhill - and Congress is more concerned about the jobs of its own Members than it is with helping create an environment in which jobs can be created for the 15 million Americans now looking for work.
"This Congress has passed a $814 billion 'stimulus package' that didn't stimulate much; passed a trillion-dollar healthcare package that reduces patient choice, cuts Medicare by $500 billion, increases insurance premiums, and imposes for the first time ever a mandate that every American purchase a product in the private market place or be fined by 16,000 new IRS agents; and passed a so-called 'Wall Street Reform' package that institutionalizes 'Too Big To Fail.'
"Meanwhile, this Congress has - for the first time since the enactment of the Budget Act of 1974 - failed to pass a budget for the Federal Government. And now it's preparing to adjourn without passing legislation to block a massive tax increase.
"In other words, this Congress has succeeded in doing things it SHOULDN'T have done, and has failed to do the things it SHOULD have done.
"But that's par for the course in the Alice in Wonderland world that is Washington today.
"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 their voice heard!"

Congressional Inaction on Tax Rates is Irresponsible

LITTLE: CONGRESSIONAL INACTION ON TAX RATES IS IRRESPONSIBLE
(HIGHLANDS, September 28) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to further news reports indicating that Congress will likely recess without first holding a vote on whether or not to extend the current tax rates - today urged voters in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District to hold her opponent, 22-year liberal incumbent Frank Pallone, accountable.
"Congress is being run by an irresponsible majority right now," said Little. "There's just no other way to say it. And Frank Pallone is a huge part of the problem.
"This year, for the first time since the Budget Act was passed in 1974, Congress didn't even pass a budget," continued Little. "And now, it appears the liberals who run the Congress are planning to go home to campaign before they pass a bill to extend the current tax rates."
"If they don't pass a bill to extend the current tax rates, New Year's Day is going to bring with it the biggest tax hike in American history - all because the liberals who run the Congress are more concerned with keeping their own jobs than they are with helping their constituents create jobs for themselves and their communities."
"I cannot think of anything that would be more irresponsible," said Little. "Yet, shockingly, that appears to be precisely what they're going to do."
"The ability to hold our elected leaders accountable with regularly scheduled elections is one of the hallmarks of American democracy," Little continued. "But that only works if our elected leaders actually vote BEFORE the elections on crucial issues. By waiting until after the election to engage in significant legislative action, our elected leaders are in essence hiding from the public. That's just wrong, and it's just one more reason we need to change Washington."
"But the simple fact is, you cannot change Washington without changing the people in Washington."
"The good news is, there's an election in 35 days. And then the people will have a chance to make their voice heard!"

Anna C. Little for Congress, Inc.
(HIGHLANDS, September 24) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to the release yesterday of House Republicans' "Pledge to America" - today praised the document as a "governing agenda that will take power away from Washington and put it back in the hands of the people, where it belongs."
"For too long, too many decisions have been made in Washington by political elites who don't seem to care what the American people think," said Little. "Every decision that's made in Washington is a decision that's not made by individual American citizens - and when you add to that the fact that Washington elites don't seem to be paying attention to what the country wants, you just make the problem worse. That's not what our Founders wanted for us, and that's why the 'Pledge to America' is not just a governing agenda that will take power away from Washington and put it back in the hands of the people, where it belongs, it's a modern-day restatement of the principles on which our nation was established.
"It's not surprising, when you stop to consider that the 'Pledge to America' was created by actually listening to the people," Little continued, "and therein lies its strength. The agenda laid out in the Pledge is an agenda that will respond to America's demand for lower taxes, spending cuts, and reforming the way Washington works.
"If Washington elites - like my opponent, Frank Pallone - would spend more time listening to the people than to each other, they'd be a lot better off. And if they actually had faith in the American people, we'd all be a lot better off.
"Our campaign has garnered national attention because of our ability to mobilize grass-roots volunteers. And when the reporters ask what's our 'secret' for getting them to come out and do the hard work, I explain very simply that there's really no secret at all - people everywhere will help if you just listen to them, and respond to their needs. They're coming out to help our campaign because they know that in doing so, they're actually helping build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
"The simple fact is, you cannot change Washington without changing the people in Washington.
"The good news is, there's an election in 39 days. And then the people will have a chance to make their voice heard!"

NRCC Announces New 'On the Radar' and 'Contender' Candidates
23 Republican Candidates Take Steps Toward 'Young Gun' Status
Washington- The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) today announced its newest round of 'On the Radar' and 'Contender' candidates. By reaching the first and second step of the three-step 'Young Guns' program, these Republican candidates have reached the fundamental benchmarks to place them on the road to victory. Now, these 23 candidates are ready to take on the Democrat establishment and return fiscal sanity to Washington.
"These candidates have worked hard to meet the benchmarks that have been laid out before them and are determined to hold Washington Democrats accountable this November," said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX). "Middle-class families are tired of watching the Democrat majority spend this country deeper into recession while they have been forced to tighten their belts. With Americans desperate for change, these 23 candidates are determined to reign in reckless spending, cut taxes and return the economy back to a state of vitality."
Originally founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI) as a member-driven organization, the Young Guns program has become an official NRCC effort dedicated to electing open-seat and challenger candidates nationwide. Reps. Cantor, McCarthy and Ryan remain actively involved in the Young Guns program, working together to recruit and prime conservative leaders for victory.
After reaching the first and second step of the three-step program, these 'On the Radar' and 'Contender' candidates now face a new set of rigorous benchmarks that will continue to help them build competitive, effective and winning campaigns.

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.

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."

Manalapan, NJ Will Never Be The Same
Hurricane Anna Makes Landfall in Hazlet this Saturday 9/4/10
Highlands, NJ - Another weekend, another 3,000 voters met. In a ground game that has, through six weeks, personally contacted more than 25,000 voters in the 6th District, Anna's Army takes on their first real challenge when they descend on Hazlet, NJ this Saturday, September 4th at the Red Oak Diner on Rt. 35. It must also be noted that Anna's interview with CNN's Soledad O'Brien attracted well over 100 supporters to Ocean Grove, NJ on Monday morning.
Tireless and dedicated volunteers will attempt the massive feat of contacting almost 6,000 voters to spread Anna's message of less spending, less costly and job-killing regulation, lower taxes and genuinely smaller government. If their unprecedented performance thus far is any indication, Anna's Army is up to the challenge.
Taking on 22-year incumbent Democrat Frank Pallone for the people's 6th District House seat, the Republican nominee for Congress Anna Little is vying to become the only female in New Jersey's all-male Congressional delegation.
Anna and her rapidly expanding army of volunteers will rally at the Red Oak Diner, 2973 Rt. 35 North in Hazlet, NJ on Saturday, September 4th. Members of the press are cordially invited to this historic campaign and all members of the public are welcome. Anna Little will be in attendance and will address the rally between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m.
