John Franklin is the pseudonym of an unclaimed descendent of Ben Franklin. In 1962, while serving in the USAF, he became an advocate for lowering the voting age to 18--old enough to fight, old enough to vote. He’s voted in every election in the last 36 years and has consulted on developing creative campaign tactics. He served as a Judge of Elections. The Lancaster county native now lives in the Philadelphia ‘burbs. This irreverent look at politics is his second book in recent years, after a two decade sabbatical from writing professionally.
