Wayne County and UAW member supporters of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul will rally against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Monday afternoon at the Ford Michigan truck plant

The “Stop NAFTA; Vote Ron Paul” rally will take place at 1:30 pm at 38303 Michigan Ave., and last until approximately 3:30 pm.

“Congressman Paul believes, as we do, that NAFTA threatens our jobs, freedom, and independence,” said Paul Michigan state coordinator Leslie Roszman. “Ron Paul will stop NAFTA, save our jobs, and restore America’s sovereignty.”

Roszman added, “We need Ron Paul fighting for the workers of Michigan.”

Over 30 supporters affiliated with local unions braved freezing rain and hail to rally Friday afternoon outside the Ford Motor Company transmission plant in Livonia, educating incoming and outgoing UAW workers. The event was the first sponsored by the Wayne County “Union Workers for Ron Paul,” whose slogan is “Save your jobs; vote Ron Paul!”

The Ron Paul 2008 Michigan state headquarters is located in Detroit, at 18981 Telegraph Road.
