Dear Mr. Trump:

You've caught hell from recent comments about getting saved/heaven by doing good works, but I have a take not even BILLY GRAHAM'S son, Franklin, addressed, so, I'll drop big names & assure you my email won't waste your time. I’m a conservative with excellent references in Laurel Lee's R-FL-15 district:

* Dr. Ed Shoemaker, Polk Cty, Fla GOP Committeeman
* Tom Gaitens, Hillsborough Cty, Fla GOP Committeeman
* Judy Wise. past President, Plant City Republican Women Federated
* Wendy Brown, President, Plant City Republican Women Federated
* Paul Hatfield, VP of Dr Shoemaker's faith-based W. Polk Republican club

* MYSELF: I nearly won the 3RD-largest pro-life case since Roe (Google “Gordon Wayne Watts” & “Terri Schiavo” & see my 4-3 loss in SC03-2420, which did better than Jeb Bush's 7-0 loss in SC04-925, both Fla Supreme Court cases), so I can be my own reference. I'm also Natl Dir, CONTRACT WITH AMERICA: PART II®

In your Aug 19 FOX interview, you discuss efforts to mediate peace between Russia & Ukraine, saying “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's pretty—I want to try to get to heaven if possible,” joking that you're “at the bottom of the totem pole” regarding chances of getting into heaven, implying this achievement could improve them. Maybe you were joking & know you can't get saved by works (only by grace through faith in Jesus, Eph. 2:8-9), but it wouldn't hurt to email you to be safe, because many people struggle with the question of how to get to heaven. Sharing how I was saved can illustrate what GRAHAM overlooked! As a youth, I didn't know if my own human body was a defective vehicle, fearing even God couldn’t live normally as human. I prayed for God to test-drive a body. Unbeknownst to me, Jesus—God in nature—did this 2,000 years ago, the ONLY person to live perfectly under pressure, even beating death: We owe Him for proving “life isn't hopeless.” His example freed me from emotional doubts, proving our bodies aren't defective vehicles, good news, as we're stuck in them! THAT'S why faith in Jesus saves: it strengthens your faith that there's hope. My point? I'm pulling for you (& lawmakers in BOTH parties) to do “good works,” but without Jesus' hard work (cost Him His life!), we'd still be wondering if our human bodies were defective: You can't get saved by works, rather you do good works by being saved, & you get saved simply by asking God: If earthly fathers love us, Our Father In Heaven 100% WILL accept you if you ask & WILL HELP YOU DO GOOD WORKS! So, while salvation doesn't depend on works, your legacy & reputation DO: Jesus doesn't want you to “just” be saved, but also be FULLY successful (so do I!), so I suggest a few “good works”: You promised to ABOLISH the Dept of Ed but indicated you won't keep your word, instead keeping part of it, the lending arm, which would make it challenging to fulfill your winning vision “drain-the-swamp” pledge. The student loan middleman (like the health insurance middleman, which you also promised to eliminate in your 1ST term but didn't) steals from both student & taxpayer & makes college unaffordable ($1.7T debt crisis), resulting in doctor shortages! Your bold leadership can drain the swamp & ELIMINATE taxpayer-funded student loan originations as p.35 of the GOP Platform mandates! Using a successful direct-fund college model, like we do with 5TH grade, could do this & save taxpayers billions! Want help keeping your word & ending DOE? Do this: Champion these 4 bills:  H.R.4444, 119TH, H.R.423, 119TH, & good GOP-led bills like H.R.5899, 116TH (Grothman/Norman) or S.2598, 117TH (Cornyn/Hawley). Or crash the dollar because you won't use these bills to force down dangerous spending excesses. You've gotten bankruptcy many times? Trust Jesus to help you obey the Golden Rule & treat student borrowers likewise!

With kind regards, I am, Sincerely,

Gordon Wayne Watts
