AFL-CIO will strike if Biden not inaugurated - David Van Deusen

Posted on Commentary by David Flemming · January 14, 2021 4:06 PM · 1 reaction

When Ben Franklin exited the room where the future of the United States was being decided, he was asked what kind of government we would have. He answered "a Republic, if you can keep it." More than 200 years later, Just days ago, we witnessed a challenge to that democratic Republic.

Contrasts stark between Washington DC, Montpelier legislatures - Alison Clarkson

Posted on Commentary by David Flemming · January 14, 2021 4:04 PM · 1 reaction

Last Wednesday, Jan. 6, we saw a sharp contrast between legislative life in Vermont and in the Congress in Washington, D.C.

Today I saw a picture of a busload of Vermonters on their way to Washington, D.C. They were Donald Trump supporters who remain convinced his election was stolen. I want to believe that all of them on that bus were heading down for a peaceful protest.
