Sometimes someone’s own words can tell you all you need to know.

I founded a group on Facebook called Make Haywood County A Second Amendment Sanctuary.  As one of the admins of that group, I review requests to join that group.

There are two questions asked of those requesting group membership – do you live, work, own property, or shop in Haywood County, and do you agree to abide by the group rules.

I received a request to join the group from Tracey DeBruhl.  He hadn’t answered the questions, so I contacted him via Facebook Messenger.  It did not turn out well.

Here is my Messenger conversation with Mr. DeBruhl in it’s entirety.

As it turns out, I had conversed with Mr. DeBruhl before when he was running for Buncombe County Sheriff and calling himself “Phoenix DeBruhl” on Facebook.  Then, as now, he didn’t seem to grasp that I don’t live in Buncombe County.

So, you decide.  Is Tracy DeBruhl fit to serve in Congress?

Tracey DeBruhl has filed to run for Congress representing District 11 as a Libertarian.

I, along with four others, was charged (Ted Carr’s denial notwithstanding) by the Haywood County Republican Party (HCGOP) with “party disloyalty”.  This was done through a resolution passed by HCGOP at a meeting of the HCGOP Executive Committee.  Just what is “party disployalty”?

The North Carolina Republican Party’s Plan of Organization states:

2. Party Disloyalty

Any registered Republican attempting to influence or influencing the outcome of any election against a Republican candidate or Republican endorsed by the appropriate Republican Executive Committee or Legislative Caucus, other than by supporting an opposing Republican Candidate in a Republican primary, may be declared ineligible to hold office under the State Plan of Organization at the State, District, and Precinct level for Party disloyalty by 2/3 vote of the State Executive Committee. Charges of Party disloyalty may be brought by petition of 50 members of the State Executive Committee, or by resolution of a County or District Republican Executive Committee. The State Executive Committee may declare a Republican found to have engaged in Party disloyalty as ineligible to serve in any office under the Plan of Organization for a period of time between 6 months and 5 years.”

On what evidence was I banned from NCGOP properties and events? Where did that evidence come from? Why does NCGOP refuse to release that evidence?

NCGOP banned me from all events and any NCGOP-owned or -leased properties for almost seven months with no due process.

That banned remained in place for months after I was cleared of ludicrous “party disloyalty” charges.

While the ban has for some reason been rescinded, I want to know why it happened in the fist place.  What evidence was the ban based on?  Where did that evidence come from.

The Ban Letter

I received the following letter via both email and US Mail.

Those who wish to do so may download the PDF file I was mailed at this link: 2017-09-18 – LTR trespass Yeager (mailed)

Comments on the Ban Letter

I was not removed from the Haywood County Fairgrounds, by the fair authorities or anyone else, as alleged in the letter.  I have evidence that will be shared here shortly.

The allegation that my “actions and writings have… … caused a destructive tone to intra-Party communications” is quite absurd.  The claim is also quite vague, and as with the claim above, not supported by evidence.

This is a work in progress.  More to come.  A lot more.
