      Secession - Rob Williams

      1 Declaration

      The gods of the Empire are not the gods of Vermont!

      Welcome to Plan V.

      V for Vermont.

      Our 21st century vision for life, liberty, and the pursuit of our collective happiness here in the Green Mountains of Vermont.

      Imagine peace.

      Secure civil liberties.

      Small towns, small farms, and small businesses.

      Human Scale.

      Awe-inspiring yet inhabitable landscapes – mountains and meadows, streams and forests, lakes and rivers – collectively managed as commons with enough room for all creatures.

      Decentralized renewable energy networks powered by water, wind and sunlight.

      Affordable public financing for Vermont’repreneurs, enterprising farmers, and aspiring students.

      Healthy locally grown food.

      Child-centered public education.

      A well-trained and well-armed citizenry, providing for homestead security and the common defense.

      Preventive health care for all.

      Democratic debate, decentralized decision-making, and government transparency embedded in our town meeting tradition, with every Vermont citizen a legislator.

      Live and let live tolerance for all citizens of good will, regardless of race, religion, caste, or color.

      A local food revolution – featuring some of the world’s tastiest cheese, ice cream, maple syrup, organic vegetables, grass-fed meats, and craft beers.

      Imagine a 2nd Vermont Republic (2VR), right here in the Green Mountains of Vermont.

      To create our 2VR, we have only one viable option.

      Vermonters must peaceably secede from the United States of Empire.

      The United States and the Problem of Empire

      Instead of union, let us have disunion now. Instead of fusing the small, let us dismember the big. Instead of creating fewer and larger states, let us create more and smaller ones.

      – Leopold Kohr, The Breakdown Of Nations, 1957

      Secession? Isn’t that crazy, not to mention unconstitutional?

      Quite the opposite. Secession is every American’s birthright. Secession is the core principle at the heart of the 1776
