Barringer for Congress
Dear Friends, Family, Supporters and Business Associates,
Last week I announced my candidacy for US Congress, Florida Congressional District 6. The following is the press release of the announcement.

New Smyrna Beach, FL – Conservative Republican Adam Barringer, small business owner and former Mayor of New Smyrna Beach announced today his candidacy for the Sixth Congressional District of Florida.
Adam Barringer released the following statement regarding his candidacy:
"I grew up in New Smyrna Beach within the Sixth Congressional District of Florida, this is where I went to middle and high school, where I've built my successful small businesses and where the people here have twice elected me their hometown mayor. I know and love this part of our great state, and believe I am the best candidate to represent this area and our shared Republican values.
“I've taken my experiences, especially as a successful small business owner and my knowledge of our district and created a reform agenda that relies on free market principles and personal responsibility to lead America back towards prosperity. My conservative agenda includes the following key points: Healthcare, Tax reform, Education, National Defense, and our Natural Resources.
“While Mayor of New Smyrna Beach, I established the 'Mayor's Fitness Challenge’, a program that included hundreds of participants throughout Volusia County. The foundation of this challenge is based on taking personal responsibility for adopting healthy lifestyles. Preventative healthcare initiatives such as this program, enable participants to reduce our dependency on government mandated healthcare. As your congressman, I will lead our district in promoting fiscal and healthy lifestyles that will help our effort to become the ‘Healthiest Nation on Earth’ and eliminate any desire for the ’Un’ Affordable Health Care Act.
“Like millions of Americans who are just trying to manage their family finances or run a small business, I've had to battle with the IRS. The IRS tax regulations and statues contain over 4 million words! It is fair to say, the statues and codes are complicated, now add in the politics of the IRS. We all know the IRS blatantly targeted conservative groups, while we had a Democrat in the White House. These experiences have taught me one thing -- we need to adopt the Fair Tax.
“And it’s not enough to get the IRS out of the way of small business growth and job creation, Congress must work vigorously to eliminate burdensome government over-regulation, unnecessary government red tape and get government out of the way so small business owners like myself can create jobs and grow our economy.
“My son Colby fought in Iraq and Afghanistan while in the Marine Corps, giving me a father’s perspective on our military affairs. Our Commander in Chief’s treatment of active and returning veterans, has been shameful. Obviously Obama, has not made this a priority of his administration and I intend to change that.
“I believe in life-long learning, earning my BS, MBA and PhD. Americans of all ages and backgrounds deserve the same opportunities at a quality education that I have enjoyed. Spending more money in Washington D.C. on education is not the answer, we must return education and curriculum decisions to the local level. This starts with eliminating Common Core.
“Growing up in Volusia County, I've developed a respect for our rare and natural resources. The ocean, springs and waterways are central to the Sixth District as they are part of our vast environmental ecosystem, which is the very foundation of our local economy. Stewardship and the protection of these natural resources is a responsibility handed down by our Creator and it makes good economic sense.
“I look forward to sharing more about my conservative agenda and my personal story with the citizens of Putnam, Flagler, St. John’s, and Volusia counties. I especially look forward to listening to what they care about and take their message to Washington.” -- Adam Barringer

9y"Never before in the history of the United States Navy has a Naval Board of Inquiry ignored the testimony of American military eyewitnesses and taken on faith the word of their attackers."- Captain Richard Kiepfer, MD. Fifteen minutes into Israel's attack on the USS LIBERTY, Dr. Kiepfer was operating on a wounded sailor when he was hit by shrapnel and, with complete disregard for his own personal safety, exposed himself to overwhelmingly accurate rocket and machine gun fire, administered first aid and treated 174 USA Troops for pain and shock and conducted a major surgical operation. Congress has not INVESTIGATED Israel's June 8, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty which killed 34 unarmed Americans and wounded 174 service men. In 2003, an independent commission of experts convened, including Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, USN, Ret. Former Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, General of Marines Raymond G. Davis, Rear Admiral Merlin Starling and Ambassador James Adkins. They concluded there was compelling evidence that Israel’s attack was deliberate and "Israel committed acts of murder against American servicemen and an act of war against the United States." The esteemed experts expressed their “Duty to the brave crew of USS LIBERTY and all Americans who are asked to serve in our Armed Forces, hereby call upon the Department of the Navy, the Congress of the United States and the American people to immediately take the following actions”: The first called for a new and true Court of Inquiry to be convened. The second, for every appropriate committee of the Congress of the United States to investigate the actions of the White House and Defense Department that prevented the rescue of the USS LIBERTY, including the NSA, CIA and military intelligence. The third called for the establishment of every June 8 to be known as USS LIBERTY REMEMBRANCE DAY. Does Adam Barringer support those calls?
