    Low Budget Candidates are Regularly Discriminated Against by UVM    
    Sunday, February 19 2012 @ 02:53 PM GMT+4
    Contributed by: crisericson

    PoliticsUVM treats United States Marijuana Party candidate, Cris Ericson, like Negroes were treated when Education was "Separate but Equal" before the civil rights acts of 1957, 1960, 1964, 1968 and 1991. These Acts don't stop segregation of candidates by how large their campaign funds are; nor do they protect candidates who have received just as many ballot access petition signatures as the major party candidates, from being excluded from televised and public debates. Low income people are the new "Negroes".

    University of Vermont discriminates against candidates with smaller campaign budgets, and has done so for many years.

    University of Vermont receives millions in taxpayer dollars and should have no legal right to discriminate against candidates with smaller campaign budgets.

    The UVM official policy is:

    "A University sponsored political event may be in the format of a candidate forum or debate in which all legally qualified candidates for a political office are invited to participate. Alternatively, the University may invite a candidate to speak individually provided that the University takes steps to ensure that all legally qualified candidates for that office are invited speak at the same or a similar event, and none is favored in relation to the activity."

    Notice the rich-people-speak above: the first sentence sounds like candidates will be treated fairly. That is the sentence that UVM will publicly quote. The second sentence reveals the bitter truth that they will treat some candidates in a niggardly way like negroes were treated when schools were separate but certainly not equal.

    School segregation, called, "separate but equal" by the rich people who ruled over the negroes who did not have equal rights, was a product of exactly the same mentality that currently rules the hate mongering University of Vermont which seriously,
    willfully and intentionally teaches its students and the public to despise and loathe and tread upon and disregard and demean any political candidate who is not wealthy, not Republican and not Democrat, or who does not have a huge campaign war chest.

    What happens is, some of the candidates are NEVER invited to any debate or forum that includes the Republican and Democrat, and those who are left out, are invited to speak in room on a separate day in front of a half dozen members of the student union.

    "Similar event" is not similar when some candidates must speak individually in a room to only a half dozen student union members, and the Republican and Democrat candidates are allowed to participate in a public debate with the public invited and the news media invited.

    University of Vermont (UVM) treats candidates with small budgets like Negroes were treated when schools were "separate but equal".

    Again, the official policy of the University of Vermont is: (Read it carefully, remembering that the first sentence is what they reveal to the public, and the second sentence is what they abuse non-wealthy candidates with.)

    "A University sponsored political even may be in the format of a candidate forum or debate in which all legally qualified candidates for a political office are invited to participate. Alternatively, the University may invite a candidate to speak individually provided that the University takes steps to ensure that all legally qualified candidates for that office are invited speak at the same or a similar event, and none is favored in relation to the activity."

    The Supreme Court of the United States
    determined that those schools where negroes had to attend separate from caucasian white children, were not equal.

    The "similar event" official policy of the University of Vermont is fraudulent in its intent because candidates who are not allowed to appear in a debate with the Republican and Democrat candidates are deemed insignificant.

    The attitude of the University of Vermont is hateful towards candidates with small budgets.

    The University of Vermont is actually committing fraud by asserting that a full debate before the public and media is "a similar event" to a candidate allowed to appear in a room before a half dozen student union members.

    UVM should be forced to pay back every single tax dollar given by the State of Vermont to them.

    The University of Vermont is a private for profit institution that clearly promotes hatred towards lower income people.

    UVM is a hate school promoting hatred
    and encouraging groups like "Occupy" and "Occupy Vermont" because of UVM's hateful actions towards lower income people.

    University of Vermont should be accused of being an unregistered political action committee supporting wealthy candidates and Republicans and Democrats at the exclusion of lower income candidates and candidates with smaller campaign budgets.

    The official at UVM who is responsible for Federal, State and Community Relations should be charged with illegal campaign activitiy and conspiracy to take public taxpayer money and use it in an illegal manner to promote Democrats and Republicans and candidates with huge campaign budgets while simultaneously denying EQUAL TREATMENT AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to candidates with smaller campaign budgets, some of whom are lower income.

    It is not legal to use taxpayer dollars to hold a big political debate open to the public and the media, while excluding some of the candidates.

    UVM IS A HATE SCHOOL FULL OF HATERS!

    UVM IS WIDENING THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR
    WHO THEY ARE TAKING STATE AND FEDERAL
    TAX PAYER DOLLARS FROM,
    AND GIVING THEM
    NOTHING
    IN RETURN.

    STOP ALL STATE AND FEDERAL TAXPAYER FUNDING OF PRIVATE FOR PROFIT
    SCHOOLS
    INCLUDING UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT.

    Cris Ericson, perennial candidate 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2020.

    2012 VOTE FOR CRIS ERICSON

    Do you really expect to attract voters when you post items like this?
    I guess you do or you wouldn't put this sort of stuff up but really.......
    and the comparison to separate but equal treatment is absolute nonsense.

    After reading the first line I don't know or care for your thoughts. I was under the guise of they were blacks and preferred to be called "African American" or even Afro American. Chris go back in the corner and put the hat on and be quiet, you can smoke another fat one.

    Your rantings become more and more bizarre as time goes by. I am appalled that you have the audacity to think that the alleged unequal treatment you think you have received comes anywhere close to the racism, bigotry and denial of human and civil rights that African Americans were subjected to in this country. Your repeated use of the word "negroes" is not only outdated but could be considered offensive by many people. And I'm puzzled by your comment that UVM is a "hater" school who encourages groups like Occupy Wall Street or Occupy Vermont as an act of hatred against low income people. You obviously don't have any knowledge of what the Occupy movement is about-it's protesting the inequality of the treatment of the wealthy vs the poor. Get your facts straight before you write another one of these inarticulate, rambling, paranoid manifestos. And, for God's sake, stop using the word "negro" Next thing we know you'll be saying "the coloreds" It's not 1952. From the many postings that you submit to ibrattleboro I can only surmise that you are a very bitter, sad and confused person. I'm sorry that life leaves you so angry.
