A sense of community and support for other Vermonters.

True Vermonters are scarce. They would share all they had. Each community was like a large family getting together for a community supper, chatting, laughing. Today people keep more to themselves and values have changed.

The small town communities. Neighbors helping neighbors!

respect for land desire to hold onto traditional livelihoods live and let live, don't interfere in others' lives self-sufficiency and independence

True Vermonters appreciate individuality. They are kind to their neighbors, tend to their own business, invest countless hours in their community and never gossip.

A commitment to much of the above & independence.

Many Vermonters share an optimitstic hands-on attitude that insists that problems are fixable, and that we are the ones to fix them- if we could only agree on how...but for many, basic survival is taking up most of our energy and time, so their voices aren't often heard.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

I have no idea - Most politically active Vermonters have no values worth sharing.
