On the Issues

It’s time for citizen public service. We have relied for too long on professional politicians. It’s time for a new generation that brings back the rights to the people.

John Frankman supports the Constitution.
John Frankman recognizes that the rights of the Federal Government come from the people.  The rights of citizens come not from the government, but from the governed.  That is why Frankman favors the protections of the Second Amendment, and opposes proposed laws that would violate the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms. Frankman opposes attempts to restrict free speech, and the right to freedom of religion, promoted by a number of leftists today. Frankman recognizes that bodily autonomy prohibits vaccine mandates. 

John Frankman is ready to see illegal aliens stopped at the border, and policies implemented to remove criminal aliens from this nation.  Frankman favors beefing up border security, and the reestablishment of the Remain in Mexico policy.  Criminals have been allowed in the last four years to enter this nation easily. Policies need immediate approval by Congress to allow swifter deportation and National security.  The solution involves the building of a wall on our Southern Border. Frankman supports Trump labeling cartels as terrorist organizations, and recommends use of the Special Forces, especially from the 7th SFG he worked with, to conduct counter terrorism missions  against these cartels. 

John Frankman favors a stronger US Energy Policy. 
Frankman supports the Trump policy of energy independence, and use of our natural resources at home. Energy independence is critical to keeping us out of foreign wars. 

John Frankman favors keeping men out of women’s sports.
As a former athlete, Frankman recognizes that allowing men to compete in women’s athletics is unfair to women, and takes away the benefits derived from Title IX.  Frankman favors legislation that would return Title IX definitions to where they once were, and keeping men out of women’s sports.

John Frankman is opposed to allowing gender mutilation of minors.
Frankman will support legislation that prohibits “gender affirming care” for minors.

John Frankman favors Tax Cuts.
Lower taxes for all Americans allows the people to decide where to spend their money. And citizen choice is superior to government control.  Trump era tax cuts are phasing out in 2025, and Frankman will support legislation that keeps the cuts in place, and looks toward additional benefits for the citizens of NorthWest Florida.

But ultimately, Frankman supports a 10% flat tax. If God only asks for 10%, why should the government get more?

John Frankman wants to see the size of government reduced.
Our current laws are designed to grow the size of government, not reduce it.  Federal budgets are automatically increased each year, without any additional action on the part of Congress.  These automatic increases need to be reversed, and Frankman will support legislation to stop automatic budget increases in the federal budget.

Frankman favors eliminating  the Federal Reserve, the IRS, and the Department of Education, and consolidating necessary services into a smaller, compacted federal government. 

John Frankman wants accountability for Covid tyranny, and to Make America Healthy Again.
Frankman supports the MAHA policies proposed by the upcoming Trump administration through RFK Jr.  Specifically, Frankman supports repealing the National Child Vaccine Injury Act that takes liability from drug manufacturers. Frankman will seek to hold military leaders accountable for laws broken in the DOD Covid vaccine mandate. 

John Frankman supports a strong military, without the DEI woke agenda.
The Biden-Harris Administration saw a major reduction in the size of the military, as enlistment numbers crashed, and transgender policies were promoted thinking it would increase military readiness.  It did just the opposite.  Frankman wants to see a return to peace through strength in our military, and the protection of military interests.

Frankman is a staunch supporter of Pete Hegseth’s proposed leadership of the DOD, including holding DOD leaders accountable, providing for our service members, developing lethal force, and developing legislative agendas to reform the military. 

John Frankman opposes US involvement in never ending wars.
While Frankman realizes the importance of protecting the people of this nation, we have found ourselves in conflicts for which we are not protecting the people of this nation, or even the interests of the country.  While John Frankman opposes hostile nations like Russia invading nations like Ukraine, Frankman believes that it is important to work toward resolving the military action there.  Frankman will support President Elect Trump’s attempts to resolve the conflict between the nations, and end the endless blank checks being sent into the conflict.

Frankman supports the right of Israel to protect itself from hostile groups like the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, who appear to have no desire for peace.  This does not mean that the US should need to intervene in this conflict.  The US should promote a quick resolution to these disputes that supports our alliances with Israel.

John Frankman sees no need for a military draft.
The move to remove DEI from the military and return to military readiness will allow our military to reverse the trajectory it is currently on, and see an increase in military enrollment.  We are blessed to have Republican leadership in January that is immediately working to address public reluctance to enlist.

John Frankman wants to support our veterans by giving them choice in healthcare.
Frankman will support legislation and regulation to allow veterans to use their healthcare benefits in private facilities.  Frankman supports the use of alternative medicines to help veterans battling PTSD, chronic pain, and high suicide rates. 

Frankman supports a review of the VA rating system for disability to ensure our veterans get the financial support they deserve for their service.
