Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Frazier's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Economy: The only legal and Constitutional way to a vibrant economy is through the free market. It is also the only way that works for every class of citizen. We must do more than balance the budget. We must create a surplus in order to begin paying our debt. This will require decreased regulation, decreased government interference and decreased bureaucracy.
  • Federal Government: A much smaller/constitutional federal government will be needed to achieve the kind of economy that will keep us safe and prosperous. We don't need to cut federal government with a careful scalpel over time, we need a legion of loggers with chain saws, excavators and bulldozers to remove the garbage that has deposited itself in our nation’s capital over the last 70 or so years.
  • 2nd Amendment: "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." PERIOD. No interpretation needed. If we acted on the Constitution here as we do in other cases such as "promote the general welfare", the government would certainly not continually infringe upon our right to bear arms, but would be supplying arms to its citizenry.
  • Education: The federal government has no authority to be involved in education. We have given up our liberty to educate our children in the manner we see fit for the security of a free education provided by the federal government. We now have neither. The department of education has destroyed what used to be the envy of the world.
  • Military: Our military should be used for what it was designed: to kill enemies and break their "stuff". Our military was not designed to be a police keeping force, to win hearts and minds, to build things for people who hate us or to make friends around the world...that is why these missions always fail and why we have been "fighting" desert gangs for over a decade with results that diminish by the day.
