Dear Bulwark friends, --- I live in North Carolina where we have two Republican senators. I have written to them about Trump's demand that he be allowed to do recess appointments. If you live in a state with one or two Republican senators, you need to write to them. Incapacitating the parliament is the first step in the fascist playbook.…

This is what I wrote. You may want to be a little less aggressive.
Dear Senator Tillis,
Given our statewide results apart from the presidential ticket, I think it is safe to say that most North Carolinians will expect you to assert the constitutional role of the Senate in the vetting and confirmation of the major executive appointments. May I hear back from you on whether or not you will allow the Senate to adjourn so that Donald Trump can fill his senior executive positions through unchecked recess appointments. It is important for you to take a position on this matter.
Thanks Eric, for what you did and sharing it. These are the kinds of things that we need to do. We have to fight. The MAGA cult want us to wallow in self-incrimination, defeat and despair.
Tillis' office will reply. It will be a form letter that is in some category roughly related to the letter, but it won't address the substance of the letter.

Eric, good for you. Should you be so fortunate as to receive a reply, please feel free to also share it with your Bulwarkian companions.
Tillis' office will reply. It will be a form letter that is in some category roughly related to the letter, but it won't address the substance of the letter.
As a fellow Bulwarkian, don't hold your breath.
I assume you mean about an answer, not about Eric letting us know.
There will be no response.
