Sovereignty of the people
All political power is vested in and derived from the people; all government of right originates from the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole.
-- Article 1, Sec. 2., NC Constitution.  
The critical mission of StopWoodfin.org is to prevent the forced annexation of our area of Buncombe County by the Town of Woodfin.
