Hello neighbors at My Richmond, VT! My name is John Kubera, a fellow Vermonter and a member of the Vermont Commons Blog Team. I really like how you have brought your community together.

Vermont Commons would like to invite you to an exciting and historic event - the first ever Vermont Statewide Independence Convention - being held at the Montpelier Statehouse on Friday, October 28 from 9:00 to 5:00. The event, which will take a fun and provocative look at the idea of Vermont independence, is FREE and open to the public, with a wide variety of dynamic speakers, including LONG EMERGENCY author James Howard Kunstler, who will give our keynote.

We hope you will join us, and spread the word via your Blog and electronic networks, about this exciting event.

Hope to see you on October 28th! Read more about Vermont Independence at our web site: www.vtcommons.org
