We passed on a copy of our Most Likely To Secede book to Democratic Party stalwart, 2004 presidential candidate, and DP super-delegate Howard Dean one year ago, when he visited Burlington’s University of Vermont to spend a day with the university community.

2VR-Dean

Good to see he’s been reading us, as he entertains the idea of nonviolent secession and a 2nd Vermont Republic in this ATLANTIC MONTHLY article.

From the last paragraph:

Somebody get Dr. Dean a 2VR lapel pin. Hurry.

Buy your copy of Secede here, and long live the 2nd Vermont Republic!
