IS SENATOR THOM TILLIS |
Sen. Thom Tillis is uncomfortable with the pressure being put on him to approve President Trump’s nominees. Let’s keep the pressure on! Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) went on Fox News this past weekend discussing how pressure by third parties, specifically mentioning Heritage Action, and GOP
representatives could backfire. Sen. Tillis appeared arrogant and almost threatening that he could join with 3 other Senators and “kill a
nomination.” While Sen. Tillis acknowledged his great relationship with Pres. Trump, he doubled down on not rubber-stamping the incoming
President’s nominees. Great relationship, eh? That’s some unimpressively obvious double-speak.
Any seasoned swamp observer
might read the Senator’s signals as an indication he is going to “want something” for his votes. If so, who knows what he might be
angling for, but you can be sure it’s quite swampy. Looking at November’s election results, perhaps Sen. Tillis should do a better job
reading the room and conclude that voters would not appreciate him “horse trading” their mandate away, nor would they soon
forget. President Trump deserves his cabinet!
By most analyses of the 2024 election results, President Trump was,
indeed, given a mandate. A mandate is an overtly expressed opinion of the majority seeking to have government exercise their collective will. As other
Presidents before him, he deserves the cabinet he nominates, barring criminal, unethical, or other egregious behavior that would endanger the
President’s agenda. By contrast, Tillis helped draft the “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” which the Biden
administration is using to approximate “universal background checks” (i.e. gun registration) and was censured by his own
party. It has been some time since we have had a president receive such an overwhelming, vocal, one might say deafeningly loud, mandate.
This type of mandate only serves to inure the psyche of a self-aggrandizing and pompous politician (e.g. Chuck Schumer). Sen. Tillis runs the risk of
being placed in similar company. No senator, given the current political climate, should wish to be seen in similar light.

Suggested Subject (if applicable): “CONFIRM PRES. TRUMP’S NOMINEES SWIFTLY”
Dear Senator Tillis:
I watched your spot on Fox News this Sunday and was appalled that you would threaten to vote with Democrats, including those with an “R” after their name, in opposition to President Trump’s nominees. President Trump has a mandate and your future as a NC Senator depends upon your support of his nominees.
Any seasoned observer might read your signals as an indication that you are going to to “want something” for your votes to confirm. If so, what you might be after is anyone’s guess, but I have no doubt it’s quite “swampy.” Be on notice, Sen. Tillis: North Carolina voters sent Donald Trump to the Whitehouse for a purpose. Pres. Trump has a mandate, you don’t. We the voters are keeping records, we have long memories, and will not allow you to “horse trade” our rights away without paying a heavy political price down the road.
Please advise me of your position on President Trump’s nominees. I will be monitoring your actions via Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts.
Respectfully, [NAME, NC address]
