Congressman Frank Pallone’s Tyranny

I want you to take every word on this page very personally and very seriously; because what I am about to report to you, if left unaddressed, will leave a lasting scar on your legacy that will take you, your family and our Republic years and perhaps a generation to recover from.
Fair elections are the backbone of a representative democracy. We have fought wars to ensure them. So what exactly do you call a politician that rigs the rules of an election, a sacred process that is supposed to be fair, honest and open, so that just by writing a new law, a law free of a timely judicial review, he greatly increases his party’s chances of victory? You would call that person an unscrupulous cheater and a scoundrel and that is exactly what Democrat Congressman Frank Pallone and his cohorts in Congress are.
In fact, he is so replete with deceptive convolution that I’m not sure Frank Pallone knows what is truthful and just anymore. He is so thoroughly corrupted by the temptations of the backroom dealings of Washington DC that I doubt that Mr. Pallone would recognize the truth or the honorable thing to do if the truthful answers to the simplest questionnaire we’re force-fed to him during a polygraph test.
Democrat Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. is cosponsor of H.R. 5175, the “Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections Act” (aka DISCLOSE). The law is a full frontal assault on free political speech. DISCLOSE has a benevolent sounding name that would seemingly shed light on who or what entity is sponsoring a given political ad. Its supporters say that it prohibits foreign influence in elections; however, what this corruptive law actually does is limit the free political speech of the majority of the American electorate, by deciding along political and ideological lines who does and who does not get to participate in the electoral process. It is just one of many steps that Democrats have taken to further segregate voters, thereby creating an imbalance of liberty and power.
In January 2010 the US Supreme Court in Citizen’s United v. FEC overturned the prohibition on campaign spending by corporations and unions that had been imposed under McCain-Feingold. DISCLOSE seeks to reimpose the restrictions on corporations only, while rewarding unions with an explicit exemption. Unions and their members would have free political speech, while privately held corporations and their shareholders would not.
On June 24th 2010 DISCLOSURE passed the Democrat controlled Congress. The Senate is due to vote on DISCLOSURE after September 13th. If it passes the Senate and is then signed by Obama, unions and their affiliates will be able to support political candidates on the airwaves and in print media without any counterbalance or opposing viewpoints. As a result, unions like the SEIU and the AFL-CIO are preparing their offensive on behalf of Democrat candidates that have supported their high-priced agenda, which is government-managed health care and a government bailout of union pensions.
The language in DISCLOSE, which Pallone endorses, prohibits any corporation doing over $10 million in business with the federal government from political spending and communication. So while all-American corporations like Pepsi would be prohibited from funding political ads, public employee unions, government grants recipients and foreign influenced labor unions, with similar ties to the government, would be able to spend freely on political speech and political advertisements.
If Frank Pallone, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama win their battle against free speech through DISCLOSURE, it will remain the law of the land until after the presidential elections in 2012, because of the way the law is drafted. Forced jurisdictional requirements and the deliberate absence of a timely judicial review process demonstrates that Democrats have one thing in mind, and that is to disenfranchise voters, to rig elections and to limit free speech so that they might hold onto the power that the American electorate is all too eager to deprive them of having.
Frank Pallone has proven that he is willing to trash the Constitution and manipulate the law to guarantee that his Democrat party wins the next two elections. The repercussions of his tyranny will last for many years to come and he must be confronted. Call your Senator today and tell them not to vote on DISCLOSURE and then support Anna Little for Congress.

Dear Mr. Cullari:
You are so right! Pallone does play dirty politics! The lack of his integrity is evident! Case in point: last year during his Town Hall in Piscataway, he hired a Coach bus, loaded with performers, touting professionally made pro healthcare signs, to counter the voters of CD6 who were coming to protest Pallonecare.
