The emperor has no clothes

To the Editor:

Like the writer of last week’s letter “Same Story, Different Wording,” I too, look forward to the day when The Smoky Mountain News stops printing letters from David Snell. 

Unlike that writer, however, my reason is very different: I look forward to the day when such letters no longer need to be written. That will be the day when Donald Trump and his cronies stop taking a wrecking ball to the American democratic institutions that our ancestors fought to create and preserve. 

It’s time to stand against hate

To the Editor:

I am a retired military officer (veteran); senior citizen; middle class; have grandchildren that are part of the LBGQ+ community; live in a rural area; have a grandchild still in school; and, I am a female.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
