Rally against Trump at Haywood courthouse
To the Editor:
For the past month, several hundred people have gathered in front of the Haywood County Courthouse at noon every Friday. We have declared our defiance of the Trump-Musk billionaire takeover of our government and their assault on freedom, justice and the well-being of our nation.
We are a group of unpaid volunteers committed to the peaceful expression of our strongly held opinions. The vast majority of us are Haywood County residents.
On Saturday, April 5, at 12.30 p.m. we will join with over 650 other communities around the USA to demand:
• Hands off our Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and all the other programs that Musk and Trump are threatening to destroy.
• Hands off the Veterans Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, food banks for the hungry, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service and the outrageous number of other programs and institutions that the billionaires want to dismantle.

All this to justify a massive tax cut for the richest people in our country, many of whom “earn” more in one hour than a fireman or a teacher or a farmer earn in a year.
Join us Saturday, April 5, at 12:30 p.m. at the courthouse. A legal permit has been issued. Exercise your First Amendment right of freedom of speech and assembly! Stand up to the people who want to undermine the rule of law and turn America into a monarchy with a king and his cronies!
