The majority of the candidates for Representative to Congress are opposed to a natural gas pipeline running underneath Lake Champlain in Vermont. Matthew Andrews, Liberty Union Party candidate, announced good news of an upcoming Protest, and the majority of candidates clapped their hands in applause.
“Pirate Captain Cris Ericson” announced that because the U.S. Supreme Court wrote an Opinion declaring that Corporations are “persons” and because the U.S. Congress did not Impeach them, which the U.S. Congress had the legal right to do, then, that proved the U.S. Congress is in favor of Corporations being “persons” and she – Pirate Captain Cris Ericson, was going to “take back” America away from the control of Corporations and give it back to We, the People. She wore a Pirate hat to emphasize her point.
Randall Meyer announced that he wasn’t paying his student loan back,
and there was a discussion by all of how to reduce college tuition.
From Ebola to Terrorism, a lot of subjects were covered.
You will enjoy this debate. Joe Merone, Executive Producer
of Vermont PBS is the host of this show. He does an
excellent job and looks really handsome on t.v., kind of sexy for a PBS host.

Pipeline Opponent... er, Supporter
Peter Shumlin’s political career took off when (as a member of the Putney selectboard) he opposed the proposed Champlain Pipeline in 1989. Soon after that, as a candidate for Senator from Windham County, he never hesitated to remind voters of his role in stopping that projection.
Now, as governor, he is pushing a similar pipeline. All of the arguments with which he passionately opposed Champlain are relevant to the pipeline which he now supports. I think Governor Shumlin has a lot to explain.
