Long on outrage about the status quo but short on details about the new order they envision, they say Vermont could establish its own Social Security system, tend to health care and maintain roads using the billions of dollars in taxes it could save by not paying federal taxes."
From the Boston Globe:
SHELBURNE, Vt.—Peter Garritano thinks it's time for Vermont to call it quits with America.
The way the 54-year-old automobile salesman sees it, the "empire" is about to implode and tiny Vermont can lead the way by becoming its own independent republic. So he's running for lieutenant governor, topping a slate of secession-minded candidates seeking statewide offices this year.
Anyone take notice that Texas never followed up with their secession? Which would be more successful at total independence? There are looney tunes everywhere and someone to let you know about them.

Can you imagine Vermont being surrounded by United States and everytime those people want to drive to the "big city" they'd have to go through customs?
We must be dilligent about our borders....right?
Oops! Spelling error. Make that "seceded."
