Greetings from Asheville. This will be short as we are getting pounded by up to a foot of rain today. And you visitors to Asheville last weekend thought it was wet then!
I'm in a parking lot borrowing wifi before heading back up the mountain where I'm pretty sure there is no longer any power. This could last a few days. I have to come back to town this evening so I'll check in if I can.
Stay safe neighbors!
Good day and welcome to DKos Asheville. This is the weekly DKos Asheville open thread for Saturday, October 3rd. We try to get together every weekend to share with everyone what we're all up to in Western North Carolina and beyond. We hope this group and others serve to invigorate us locally and regionally here on Daily Kos, building on the sense of community that's grown through our online engagement.
DKos Asheville and other local and state groups can give us all a better sense of connection, a better understanding of who we stand with, work with, and share with. We hope this local and wider community can help leverage our orange passion for progressive politics to move the country forward. Following is the new Daily Kos Mission Statement and we are proud to be part of this movement, on the keys and on the ground.
Daily Kos fights for a progressive America by empowering its community and allies with information and tools to directly impact the political process.
