In April the people REJECTED the budget in a referendum. The selectboard and town reps met and REAPPROVED THE SAME BUDGET on Monday.   Well, it was AROUND $16 million: now it’s ALMOST $16 million, and

Urgent! More Candidates Needed To Stop Nuclear Proliferation! Still Time To Get on Nov. 4, 2014 Ballot!

I have been giving a shout-out on facebook asking anyone and everyone to run for governor of Vermont and to run for  U.S. Congress, House of Representatives against incumbents Peter Shumlin and Peter Welch because they both asked the U.S. Air Force to bring the F-35 jets to Vermont and they did not tell you that the F-35 jets are designed to be able to carry nuclear bombs. I will be on the ballot myself for governor and for U.S. Representative to Congress.

May Day: Is It Still Relevant 128 Years Later?

May Day Celebration

May 1, 2014 marks the 128th anniversary of a rally for the eight-hour day in Chicago’s Haymarket Square that ended with a police riot that left over a dozen dead. The political trial and hanging of four anarchists that followed sparked protests around the world and the designation by the Second International of May 1 as International Workers’ Day, more commonly known as May Day.


Morningside Shelter and Brattleboro Area Drop-In Center host 2nd Annual Camp for a Common Cause with Community Barbecue

BRATTLEBORO – On Friday, May 9 the Brattleboro Area Drop-In Center and Morningside Shelter will host the second annual Camp for a Common Cause on the Brattleboro Common. The collaborative fund- and awareness-raising event was a great success last year, with roughly $10,000 raised and evenly split between the two organizations working to alleviate homelessness in the greater Brattleboro area. Most importantly, last year’s participants and the community gained valuable awareness and perspective on homelessness in our community.

“It was chilly overnight – in the 30’s,” said Heidi Risner, a participant who raised almost $300 from family and friends to support last year’s event. “Luckily, I was warm in my tent and sleeping bag, realizing that these are not luxuries often afforded to the homeless. It was definitely a meaningful reminder of what some in our community experience on a daily basis.”

This year we have elected to donate the funds we raise to Citta, an organization dedicated to providing access to healthcare and education in some of the poorest and most isolated places in the world.
