This is my home. A place that is safe, honest, full of integrity in business, and where things get done.

Not certain at this time.....it seems there are less values everywhere including Vermont - Time to get back to the basics in life, community.....

A place with rich heritage and beauty. a place where the typical strifes that commonly found in other states, are much milder here.

I believe vermonters all share the belief of preserving the heritage and beauty of the state, and creating more opportunities for this state to become better than it's neighbors.

A once great state that has has built an obscene bureaucracy to resist inevitable change to the point of absurdity.

Being the big fish by keeping the pond small.

Vermont is a bucolic, safe, independent, liberal, beautiful, tolerant and interesting place to live. The scale of life is small enough to manage comfortably.

Independence, thrift, tolerance, community, stewardhsip of the land

I feel very lucky to have lived in Vermont for almost 30 years. Outside of Hawaii, it is as close to heaven as you can get. I feel safe and appreciated here, which (as a member of the LGBT community) is wonderful.

honest, hard-working, caring for the environment, appreciative of Vermont's great beauty, sense of community and helping others

Rural landscapes, progressive values, small communities, future oriencted people, a place for wildlife as well as people.

I love this state, and it's the only place in the USA I'd want to live.The scenic beauty and the climate (yes, the winter too)are pleasing to me, and I think there are an incredible number of interesting people here - people of integrity who care about the environment, the state, the world.

Independence, tolerance (usually) for those who think differently or represent other races, etc. A love of the outdoors. Interest in governance and a desire for fairness. Many people share "liberal" values.

Democr.can actually work, at least sometimes. Small enough to know your legislators/officials. Unspoiled landscapes. Love of outdoors, small farms, forests, wildlife, small vibrant cities, downtown revitaliz. Need better public trans, afford. hsing, univers. healthcare. For many it's hard to earn a living. Most are frugal. Some move here from away and try to change what is good

community, love of family, respect for hard work, love of the land, common sense (for the most part), desire for self-determination, wanting to keep the best things from the past while carefully planning for the future.

Independence, freedom,& diversity,this is what Vermont means to me.Vermont contains the best of two worlds, meaning that it is both charmingly historical,and yet it is also helping to lead the United States into the 21st century.Vermont is aiding in the movement that is pushing for equalizing the rights of all people, not just some.

It seems to me that all Vermonters share the values of acceptance, dignity, hardwork, independence, and preserving our beautiful state.
