On January 6th 2008, Frank Pallone, Jr. was officially sworn in for his 11th full term in the U.S. House of Representatives.   Frank Pallone is obviously not for congressional term limits.  Frank is a career political, and is now pursuing his 12th term in congress.  Frank is also proud to announce he is currently celebrating his 111th congress approval rating of 16%.  Also according to the latest  Rasmussen Report,  “Only 12% of voters believe most members of Congress are more interested in helping people than in helping their own careers; while 76% say most in Congress put their own careers first.”

Pallone is proud to announce he is working hard with lobbyist, and special interests instead of, “We the People” of the  6th Congressional District.  Frank wouldn’t like the people of Middlesex, Bayshore, Monmouth, Plainfield, and Franklin to know he has spent over 56.3 million dollars in pork barrel ear mark projects from 2008-2010.  During his anticipated lame duck session, he will add additional spending to that debt.

During Frank’s career in the once prosperous New Jersey, the opportunities for middle-class citizens has vanished.   Pallone’s policies have driven the wealth and jobs from New Jersey to other neighboring states that are more business friendly.  From 2004-2008, author John Havens found “a large decline in the number of wealthy households entering New Jersey” as well as “a moderate increase in the outflow of wealthy households leaving.” The result: a net decline of $70 billion in household wealth for the state of New Jersey.   

In the 111th Congress, Pallone is a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee which is responsible for a list of extremely unpopular, and small business crushing legislation. Frank Pallone supports mandating every American to buy Government Health care insurance.  The socialistic takeover of medicine will force all Americans to pay for health insurance or be subject to violations, penalties and fines.

Pallone supports the Health Care bill even though support for repealing the bill is at its highest level.  Many voters know Socialism programs are not helpful in a Free Market Economy. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey of Likely Voters shows that 60% want the Healthcare bill repealed.   The mandatory health insurance bill will cost tax payers “$940 billion over 10 years,” according to the Congressional Budget Office.
