Re: OPEN MEMO
I find it admirable that a man of your football talents would like to devote your celebrity to representing the people of Georgia as one their two Senators. You must have quite an interest in politics that could be an outgrowth of your knowledge of American History.
A number of my friends and I follow politics and your candidacy was of interest to us. The following are questions that should shed some light on your capabilities and give perspective to people like us. Thank you for your time.

Apparently you have a high regard for Donald Trump. Does any of the following bother you?
.About 25 women have claimed he touched them in unwanted ways. One of the women is taking him to court for rape.
If a woman you were associated with made that claim, what would you do?
According to the Washington Post Trump lied over 30,000 times during his presidency.
Trump failed in almost every business he started. Dozens. Would you invest with him?
Many people have been hurt financially by his broken promises.
He has a reputation of not paying people for their services.
What books have you read lately?
Thanks for your time. I hope this sheds some light on your candidacy.
