Calling all Liberty-loving Vermonters! Here's your chance to take a positive stand for Liberty, and the future of our children and grandchildren. Governors and Presidents do not make laws or vote on laws. Only legislators do that. Join a growing support network for viable Vermont candidates!

Vote Hemp

Robert — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:45:03 +0000

H. 747, a bill recently passed in the final days of the 2012 Legislative session, contains a provision inserted by Sen. Illuzzi that moves Vermont forward towards growing hemp in our State. Industrial Hemp is a locally grown competitor to manufacture most of the products that currently need petroleum, a vanishing and climate-changing resource. As your candidate, I support local solutions. So do the Vermont Thirty. How about you?

Stop Legislature, Governor from caving in to corporations

Robert — Wed, 09 May 2012 16:08:15 +0000

90% of the population wanted GMOs in their food labeled but the governor would not sign a bill requiring this because the biotech giant Monsanto threatened to sue the state. Monsanto thus stopped "informed consent" around food, leaving people without crucial information needed to decide what goes into their and their children's bodies... Instead of preserving informed consent - the Vermont Senate enforced ignorance in 2012. Vote 'em out! There's just 30 seats!

Ban Fracking in Vermont

Robert — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:58:33 +0000

The Vermont Legislature must assert State Sovereignty over our public assets, natural resources, and quit giving them away to corporations. This is where fracking stops Public assets should produce public revenue, not corporate profits. That's how we pay for schools, hospitals, fire departments, roads, public transport and good quality health care for all.

Vermont Super Tuesday Report

Robert — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:01:38 +0000

You, the grassroots, self-organizing, self-motivating, do-it-yourself supporters of the liberty message made it clear that liberty has not gone away from the Green Mountains and those who love it here are willing to work for it.

Ripton Town Meeting 2012

Robert — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 05:16:51 +0000

In light of the United States Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision that equates money with speech and gives corporations rights constitutionally intended for natural persons, shall the town urge the Vermont Congressional Delegation and the U.S. Congress to propose a Constitutional amendment for the States’ consideration which provides that money is not speech, and that corporations are not persons under the U.S. Constitution, that the General Assembly of the State of Vermont pass a similar resolution, and that the town send its resolution to Vermont State and Federal representatives within thirty days of the passage of this measure?

A R.O.S.E. By Any Other Name

Robert — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:06:56 +0000

There is a real concern for everyone, when a bureaucrat can write a regulation which circumvents the liability provisions of the major Congressional mandated environmental laws, by simply changing the name of a regulated material.
