I am impressed with your devotion to Vermont and vision for our future.
Thank you for your position on and efforts to expose and close Vt. Yankee! Vermont could lead the way for our Nation in caring for our home, Planet Earth, and the well being of our people. The economy will follow.
Thank you for this informative video which helps me to know who you are. I want to vote for someone who understands the plight of small farmers and small businesspeople. I’m glad the Omnivore’s Dilemma is one of your favorite books! I also want a governor who will help move a single payer health care system forward. The current paradigm is absurdly expensive and of little interest to people who take care of themselves, because with freedom comes responsibility! There has to be an alternative health care plan, focused on prevention, to the many Vermonters who do not participate in industrialized medicine, just as these same Vermonters would not choose to consume dangerously processed “foods” such as junk food or meats from CAFO’s. We all need to focus on eating well to keep health costs down because these costs are at the heart of what is bringing down our current economy in so many ways. So I hope as governor you will pay close attention to this crucial issue in a way that will transform our state economy and at the same time support small organic farmers whose products are our best medicine! The small organic farm is nothing less than the future of our planet! We need to be sure they can make good money, and I’m sure we can do this by funneling money sent to profit-based medicine back to the land. Slow money! Thanks for listening and thanks again for your great video.
My family arrived in Vermont in 1787 and most of them are still here. I have had the good fortune of being able to have lived in San Francisco, Marblehead,Ma (11 years), and Miami Beach ( 21 yrs), all truly beautiful areas, but I’ve always identified myself as a Vermonter. I believe that Peter Shumlin has a true connection to Vermont, far beyond politics and that is exactly the type of governor that Vermonters should be seeking . Let’s help him get elected!!!
