Newbury

Vermont is home, a place to work, and a place to share with others who are willing to commit to a simpler life style and who value the independent spirit. It is a beautiful place that offers relaxation after a hard day at the office, in the fields, or at school.

Faith in God, love of the land, honesty, integrity, frugality, and spirit of independence in decision making.

Keeping our law makers from spending worthless time making laws that are unconstitutional and ultimately unenforceable. Too much time and money is spent by lawmakers in Montpelier making laws to impede the landowner and adding expensive bureaucracy to a State budget that they may not even understand.

Let local governments decide what their priorities will be in spending money and investing in our future and our children's futures, if by chance they decide to make the sacrifices to stay in VT. If our children who are our future are educated effectively, they will be prepared to be critical thinkers and continue the Vermont tradition of independent thinkers and business men and women.

We need to focus our efforts on education for our children. We need to invest in smaller schools in our communities to bring communities together. Local governments controlling budgets benefits all by allowing careful examination of what values in the community are important to the general population.
