Letter to a #Senator / 22 June: Mr. #Tillis, I oppose the provision in the #OBBBA that permits the sale of #federallands to offset the #taxbreaks included in the bill. Relying on the sale of assets to cover ongoing expenses is demonstrably poor fiscal policy. It’s not #sustainable. 1/5
Letter to a #Senator / 8 June :: Mr. #Tillis, Have you read #DavidBier’s white paper published on the #CatoInstitute’s website? In it, he argues that the immigration enforcement provisions in #HB1 (#OBBBA) alone would add $1 trillion to the #federaldeficit. 1/7

Just called my #Congressmen #Knott, #Tillis and #Budd. Only Knott had someone I could talk to. Left #VMs for other two. Asked for statement on US Rep quoting Joseph Goebbels, ethics for a #President accepting gifts from #foreign #gov, about ethics of a #potus using crypto, #defunding #school #lunches but funding #military #parade. Person was nice and said "Well I haven't discussed those topics with the #Congressman, but I'll pass it along." Really? No one is talking about this shit?!?
Letter to a #Senator / 05 May:: Mr. #Tillis_ Thank you for your response to my letter regarding the funding of #PublicBroadcasting. I steadfastly disagree with your belief that eliminating federal support of these networks is a meaningful contribution to addressing the country’s #deficit. 1/5
Letter to a #Senator / 04 May:: Mr. #Tillis_ News has broken about the naming of 9 counties in #NorthCarolina as uncooperative ( #sanctuaryjurisdictions ) with #ImmigrationandCustomsEnforcement. (As you may know) I am a resident of one of those counties. 1/5

Letter to a #Senator / 22 Apr:: Mr. #Tillis_ I thought it was important for you to know that yesterday’s comments from #POTUSINO wiped what equals 1 month’s salary from my #retirementfund. 1/6
Letter to a #Senator / 19 Apr:: Mr. #Tillis_ I want to register my objection to a parade, possibly including military vehicles like tanks, on the #Executive's #birthday. #POTUSINO is not a king. Never before have we held a parade for sitting president. 1/2
Letter to a #Senator / 10 Apr:: Mr. #Tillis_ Thank you for your response letter regarding your goals with #tariffs including the cosponsoring of the #TradeReviewAct. We could quibble about who we should blame… 1/12
Letter to a #Senator / 8 Apr:: Mr. #Tillis_ Well, if the 3 days of stock #market activity hasn’t persuaded you that our #Executive’s motivations aren’t specious, I’m not sure what could persuade you to break rank and stand up for ethically sound principles of #governance, nothing really will. 1/2
