“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!”
