Vermont Commons | Voices of Independence

Welcome to the future of Vermont.

Dateline: May 2008.

From 1777 - 1791, the citizens of Vermont governed themselves as an independent republic.

As we enter the 21st century, Vermont Commons is a multimedia newspaper dedicated to the proposition that Vermonters should peaceably secede from the United States Empire and govern themselves as a more sustainable independent republic once again.
