Bart Baron for U.S. Senate (248) 627-4950
SENATE CANDIDATE: WE’LL FIX NAFTA OR
END IT!
(Oakland
County) Former Oakland County Republican
Executive Committee member Bart Baron
announced his candidacy for the U.S.
Senate. Baron indicated that when elected
he would take action to reduce the U.S.
trade deficit that has escalated to over
$300 Billion annually with China, Canada and
Mexico combined. “If elected, I will spend
my entire first year in office researching
and rewriting the inequities of the
NAFTA/GATT/PNTR and WTO policies that have
led to the erosion of American Manufacturing
jobs and sovereignty and sent hundreds of
thousands of workers to the unemployment
lines”. Baron proclaimed, we’ll end the
need for the phrase “we got the Shafta from
NAFTA” and other trade treaties; and we will
ask ALL Americans to make their
congressional representatives aware that
unless this is done they, and they alone,
will pay a heavy price at the ballot box. I
can promise you that! Furthermore we’ll
do what needs to be done to protect the
American Worker, the Michigan Economy, the
American Economy and the Security of this
Nation.
We must immediately close our porous borders
and address all illegal immigration and
the abuse of H1B visas and other visas by
certain private sector employers. We
must first protect life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness of American Citizens
who continue to build this great country,
fight its wars and pay its taxes.
My devotion and dedication is simple:
Michigan first and America, first.
Two other issues requiring immediate
attention are the health-care system and the
education system.
I will work to get
our best minds focused to develop workable
solutions to those two massive sectors of
our economy. The current systems have
FAILED. No excuses, no band-aids, no
partisan bickering and no protectionism,
just good American Ingenuity used to solve
our problems.
The NAFTA Agreement passed a Democratic
Congress and was signed into law by a
Democratic President without the threat of a
veto! The China Trade Treaty, whose passage
was uncertain, passed with bi-partisan
support, and was championed by a Michigan
Democratic US House Member and signed by a
Democratic President.
Not one Michigan Senator has even attempted
to introduce any measure to alleviate
NAFTA’s and other poorly negotiated trade
treaty’s tsunami like effects on the economy
and manufacturing jobs, particularly here in
Michigan, where we have been affected more
than any other state in the Nation.
Baron’s extensive 40 year manufacturing
background is highlighted by his expertise
as Corporate Director of Supplier Quality
for Harley Davidson, Corporate V.P. of
Operations for Diversified Industries, VP
Lean Enterprise for Fairchild Fasteners a
division of ALCOA, Vice-Chairman of the Lean
Business Systems Committee for the
Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG).
Additionally, Baron has been a member of the
blue ribbon national award winning Troy
Community Coalition an organization
dedicated to today’s youth. He can be
