Vermont Secession Strategy
by Kirkpatrick Sale, Director

*** begin quote ***
March 19, 2010—Thomas Naylor has just outlined the strategy that the Second Vermont Republic is operating under in a paper he has distributed this week. Though it is (very) specific to Vermont, where there are now at least nine candidates for the fall election, it should be of interest and perhaps instruction to secessionists everywhere.
*** and ***
3. Imagine…Free Vermont. Launch a new political party whose aim is to elect state government officials and members of the legislature committed to Vermont independence. Once the party has a majority in the legislature, a motion will be introduced calling for a statewide convention to consider articles of secession. After these articles of secession have been approved by a two-thirds majority of the convention delegates, negotiations will begin with the United States Government for the peaceable departure of Vermont from the Union.

Maybe my GrandAunt Marion, who plays a big role in my novel “CHURCH 10●19●62” http://www.itstartedinchurch.com, may have been ahead of the battle for freedom. To bad she didn’t sell my Mom the farm, also described in the novel, who knows how things might have been different. Also in the novel, I predict that Vermont could become the “New Switzerland”. Too bad, I won’t be here to find out if I was right. Maybe I’ll be the “Jules Verne” of the Vermont story. ROFL, yeah, I know “get a job”. But I have one driving Frau nuts!
Seriously, maybe New Hampshire won’t be the first “Free State”.
p.s., a good post for April 1st!
