(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!”

Governor Chris Christie was joined by Geoffrey Canada, President of the Harlem Chrildren’s Zone during an Education Town Hall meeting yesterday afternoon at the Elysian Charter Schoolin Hoboken as Christie continued to introduce his Education Reform Agenda to the public.
Christie’s message: Education is the civil rights issue of today. Failure is no longer an option in New Jersey’s school’s—any of them.
Canada’s message: Educational excellence is possible through accountability, innovation and empowering good teachers. He’s doing it and has been for decades. Canada and his schools are the inspiration for the movie Waiting for “Superman” which opens today at these theaters throughout the country.
Video of Christie’s and Canada’s presentation can be viewed in four segments here.
The following two videos are clips of each gentleman’s remarks:

Phoney Palloney Is At It Again, Asbury Park Press Falls For It (Willingly?) Again
By Art Gallagher
The United States Department of Justice announced their Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants on Thursday. They awarded $298 million to fund the hiring and retaining of 1,388 state, local and tribal law enforcement officers by 379 police and sheriffs departments in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The funding will be administered by the department’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and is being awarded under the COPS Hiring Program.
Phoney Palloney told the Asbury Park Press about the grant and they wrote a storythat made it sound like Pallone had something to do with Neptune getting the grant.
New Brunswick, also in Pallone’s 6th congressional district, got almost $1.6 million in COPS funds. That amount wasn’t mentioned in the APP article, nor did Gannett’s outlet that covers New Brunswick, mycentraljersey.com mention it. Pallone must have polling data that tells him he needs free press support in Monmouth, but not in Middlesex.
Just as we saw with the coverage of Pallone’s Fish Tales , his $400 million fish counting stimulus that will never be passed by congress, the Asbury Park Press is in the tank for Frank Pallone. They’re not fair and biased. They’re just biased, pretending not to be. They’re unfair and biased.
