After the elections of 2004, it seemed pretty clear that Vermont was a better fit for Canada than the U.S.
A few of us started a movement to have Vermont secede from the U.S. and join a country that believed in tolerance and progressivism.
That was 2004, but the midterms of 2006 marked a turning point, and many of us felt that the USA still could be saved from the forces of right-wing extremism. Today, we feel that it's probably more important to work for change in the U.S.
Please vote and work for Barack Obama and other Democrats and Progressives in November 2008 to make the USA a more perfect union -- a country that believes in human rights for all including health care and the freedom to marry -- A country that doesn't believe in pre-emptive war -- A country that believes in a fair shake for the middle class -- A country, in other words, a lot more like Canada.
For a bit of history, check out the reasons) why we were ready to secede in 2004.
And remember, if the Republicans steal this one we're ready to revitalize our movement to join the true north, brave and free
P.S. if those Tories start acting too much like Bush and his gang, we're ready to have our friends from the North join us in a Greater Vermont! (particulièrement nos amis Québécois)
