BRATTLEBORO-I will be voting to eliminate RTM and replace it with Australian ballot.
RTM has shown a history of not being a true representation of all citizens. Australian ballot is all inclusive. It allows those who cannot attend RTM for various reasons to have a voice. It also makes sure that those who are afraid to speak for fear of being ostracized will be allowed to voice their opinion without repercussions.
Join me to change Brattleboro’s ability to vote. One person. One Vote.
