that's vermonters. together we aspire rightfully for a brighter future, and vermonters deserve leadership that is forward looking and unafraid. that's right. while some want vermont to join the majority of governors in our nation in closing its borders to the syrian refugees fleeing violence and death, i believe vermont must not abandon its long heritage of being a welcoming state to those who are escaping unimaginable horror, unimaginable horror, to seek a better life. how many of us can claim that our own family's arrival in america, fleeing famine, religious oppression, dictatorship or war was not a motivation to come here? vermonters have a long tradition and a proud tradition of rejecting racism, bigotry, bullying, intolerance, and fear. you know, when mccarthyism reared its ugly head in america, senator akin cautioned his own republican party that sought, and i quote, victory through the selfish political exploitation of fear, bigotry, ignorance, and intolerance. more than half a century later, th
