Activism See other Activism Articles Title: Vermonters Planning To Secede From The US THE VERMONT INDEPENDENCE CONVENTION An Impossible Dream or a Vision of the Future? State House Montpelier, Vermont James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency, will be the keynote speaker at The Vermont Convention on Independence to be held in the House Chamber of the State House in Montpelier on Friday October 28th. Sponsored by the Second Vermont Republic, the convention, which will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m., is open to the public and free of charge. This historic event will be the first statewide convention on secession in the United States since North Carolina voted to secede from the Union on May 20, 1861. Other speakers will include Professor Frank Bryan, UVM; Kirkpatrick Sale, author of Human Scale, J. Kevin Graffagnino, Executive Director, Vermont Historical Society; Professor Eric Davis, Middlebury College; Shay Totten, editor, Vermont Guardian; Antoine Robitaille, journalist Le Devoir (Quebec City); G. Roderick Lawrence, CEO, Stevenson Kellogg(Canada); (Rev.) Ben T. Matchstick; and General Ethan Allen (aka Jim Hogue). General Allen is expected to travel by horse to the State House. The objectives of the convention are twofold. First, to raise the level of awareness of Vermonters of the feasibility of independence as a viable alternative to a nation which has lost its moral authority and is unsustainable. Second, to provide an example and a process for other states and nations which may be seriously considering separatism, secession, independence, and similar devolutionary strategies. The Second Vermont Republic is a peaceful, democratic, grassroots, libertarian populist movement committed to the return of Vermont to its status as an independent republic as it once was between 1777 and 1791.

Right across the river. Good riddance, I say...and take the rest of New England with you. If Ethan Allen were alive today, he would die of shame. I'm surprised his family doesn't raise hell over his good name being tied to these nutbags. Socialist New England should be annexed to the Canadian Maritimes while we annex Alberta.
Vermont has got a lot of balls preaching to the rest of us re: losing its moral authority. I might agree that this is no longer a moral nation, but the socialism and moral relativism being spread by New England educrats has a lot to do with it. Practitioners of the 'Delphi Technique' have been very busy little beavers around here the past twenty years.
Every once in a while I get to talk to a guy from the Washington Post who really knows a lot about world affairs. Once he gave a list of things that he wouldn't be surprised to see over the next ten to twenty years - New England leaving the union and joining with Canada was on the list. That surprised me. Quantril and those guys are always talking about the south leaving again, but I didn't know New England had a similar feelings. The story above sort of confirms what the guy said.
