BRATTLEBORO — We are saddened that Becca Balint, Jeanette White, and the Windham County Democratic Party Committee have not accepted our offer to participate in a forum to be held in Brattleboro which would include all the candidates for the state senate. This rejection flies in the face of Vermont's great tradition of candidates shaking hands and discussing crucial issues facing Vermonters and the planet.
The Liberty Union Party has some answers to the fundamental questions of how we are going to address the stark and often-brutal inequalities in wealth and access to resources so that we might provide nourishing food, decent housing, cradle-to-grave education and health care, and meaningful and well-compensated work for everyone.
We hope that they will reconsider their decision.
