My name is Robert Wagner and I’m running for the Vermont Senate for Addison County.
Thank you kindly for signing my petition to represent you in the VT Senate as an Independent. I’m now on the ballot, pounding the pavements to do my job, which is listening to YOU. I’ve learned a lot over the past few months, and hope to learn more. Please come to the Independent fun event of the season, a Meet & Greet with food, music & drink, sponsored by three area businesses. Click here for more info including directions & map.
The UVM Gund Institute already showed the Legislature how to help Vermont families, businesses and farms, outlining a comprehensive tax reform to take back the immense unearned profits of huge corporations. Gained at the expense of ordinary Vermonters: that’s $7700 per family for four every year! What could YOU do with that money?
They didn’t listen. Instead, they hired outside commissioners & consultants to help keep the status quo… which is to squeeze harder. Squeeze your family and my family harder.
Put me in Montpelier, and they’ll HAVE to listen. And act.
Here’s what I’m all about:
1. NO further Vermont support for War, Torture…or deployment of VT National Guard. Order the Guard home now.
2. NOT a dime more for Wall Street…Invest VT funds in VT small banks and credit unions for lending here at home.
3. Build a Green Vermont via serious investments in alternative energy, human-food-agriculture, and all local community efforts towards self reliance and town/village life. Clean, green, decent, peaceful & fun.
4. Start the discussion with all Vermonters re returning our state to the status of a free Independent Republic [as we once were], maintaining free trade & good relations with all other nations of the world.
The other independents that are running, feel the same way, including Dennis Steele for Governor and Pete Garritano for Lt. Governor.
I am asking you directly for help with writing my platform. Please eMail me, robert@senatorwagner.com, or stop me in the street with your concerns, any time. This is true representation.
I won’t mince words. Thanks to Peak Oil, a speculative economic bubble, and very large and irresponsible corporations, we’re all headed for a Collapse. Financial, Commercial, Political, Social, Cultural. Many of us trusted in the past election, but the BUSH policies and the same BUSH people remain in place. The speculative bubble has been re-inflated through bailouts, the same wars continued and were even escalated. Overseas military bases continue to be built. For what? A fight over what oil remains? And then what?
Enough is enough. Let us gain our Independence: Food Independence, Energy Independence… and if the corrupt US Empire won’t let us, we take our Political Independence. And let the people decide what to do in a Free Vermont. Can you imagine that?
