Listen up, people. The Republicans will use every untruth and dirty trick they can to get back in power, so that they can destroy the middle and lower classes. They only care about the rich and being in power. That should be clear now. They don't care about "we the people." They destroyed my retirement and I will despise them for as long as I live. Do not believe their lies.

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
What problems do you attribute to the oppression wielded by 150+ years of total democrat domination in NC???
Republicannots have had ZERO power in our once great state, thus we’ve been RAPED by filthy democrackkks…
buy them? Hell they are trying to force them on me for free.
Seriously, the republicans, seriously? Publishing this letter must have been a joke. Are you really blaming everything wrong with this country on a political party? Instead of people bitching about the problems in the government they should do something about it. Afterall, without the people the government is nothing.
don’t go messing with our scapegoats, U! the Republicans are our Tony Montana. We need them.
