LetVermontVote.org is about opening up Vermont’s political process to the citizens of Vermont. We’re concerned about activist judges and elitist legislators disenfranchising the electorate. We’re concerned that Vermont has no process for addressing the broad-based issues of the day and a byzantine system of amending our state’s Constitution.
For example: To date less than 250 Vermont voters have had any vote on same sex unions. That's counting our five Supreme Legislators with the Baker ruling, former Gov. Howard Dean and the General Assemblies in 2000 and 2001.
Now the leaders of the Vermont Legislature have formed a Commission to “find out” what Vermonters think about “same sex” or “genderless” Marriage. However, the Commission has been stacked with advocates for genderless marriage. Few expect them to discover anything that disagrees with their prejudices on the matter.
It's time to include all of Vermont's voters in the process by actually letting them vote on this issue!
The Legislature should use its powers to authorize a non-binding referendum asking voters if they affirm existing Vermont law. The question would be "Should marriage in Vermont continue to be solely between one man and one woman?"
We can all cast our vote "Yea" or "Nay" and skip the Kangaroo Commissions.
Let’s go straight to the voters and find out what Vermont really believes!
Let Vermont Vote!
