So I had heard about this a while ago but totally forgot about it till another article popped up on my radar, the State of Vermont want to become the Country of Vermont by seceding from the Union. Technically they want to become the Republic of Vermont…
There are a few websites devoted to this idea, and apparently quite a few people are very interesting in this idea. The main website is VTCommons.org and here you’ll find all the information to learn all about this rather cool idea…
Anyone want to move to Vermont? I seriously thought about it, but I’m not sure of the logistics of it all, they have the idea but from what I can see no real groundwork laid out for the whole thing. The website sort of leaves quite a few questions unanswered as to how it would all work, they mention other countries that have been successful at this, but that really doesn’t prove to much…
Can it work? They want to do it peaceably, which essentially means no military intervention from Vermont’s Army (hehe) and the US Military, they want to secede without any problems or casualties of a war. According to them it is their constitutional right to do so, but will the U.S. let them?
Why do they want to secede? From what I gather they just want to secede because as a whole or majority they are not happy with the state of the union as it is now, and I can’t blame them there..
Will it work?
I’m wondering how it can work actually, I mean essentially they’ll be on their own with no federal monies to help with anything including social programs, emergencies, or just basic needs…
Hey, I’m up for it! Let’s do it…. I wouldn’t mind having dual citizenship…
